LUBRICATING OIL THAT IS RESISTANT TO ATOMIC RADIATIONS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4090835
The increase in viscosity of mineral lubricating oils that are subjected to atomic radiation is retarded by adding well-known soluble organic Cd, Pb, or Fe salts, such as Pb oleate, Fe naphthenate. However, Cd di-or monoalkyl- dithiocarbamate with alkyl groups of 3 to 20 C atoms is preferred. The metal content of the oil should be 0.5 to 5 wt.%. (NPO)
