Abstract

A process and composition for forming a non-Newtonian oil composition in the form of a grease comprising an overbased calcium salicylate and solid particles of colloidally dispersed calcium carbonate in the form of calcite is disclosed wherein the process comprises the steps of heating overbased calcium salicylate, amorphous calcium carbonate, and a converting agent comprising a fatty acid of twelve to twenty-four carbon atoms in an oleaginous medium, and then adding sufficient water, alcohol, and carbon dioxide to the mixture to complete the conversion of the amorphous calcium carbonate to calcite.

Claims (9)

1. A process for forming a non-Newtonian oil composition in the form of a grease comprising an overbased calcium salicylate and solid particles of colloidally dispersed calcium carbonate in the form of calcite wherein the process comprises the steps of heating overbased calcium salicylate, amorphous calcium carbonate, and a converting agent comprising a fatty acid of twelve to twenty-four carbon atoms in an oleaginous medium, and then adding sufficient water, alcohol, and carbon dioxide to the mixture to complete the conversion of the amorphous calcium carbonate to calcite.

2. The process of claim 1 wherein the fatty acid comprises hydroxystearic acid.

3. The process of claim 2 wherein substantially all of the hydroxystearic acid in the grease is present during the conversion of the amorphous calcium carbonate to calcite.

4. A process for forming a non-Newtonian oil composition in the form of a grease comprising an overbased calcium salicylate, solid particles of colloidally dispersed calcium carbonate in the form of calcite, and calcium borate wherein the process comprises the steps of

(1) heating overbased calcium salicylate, amorphous calcium carbonate, and a combination of converting agents comprising water, alcohol, and carbon dioxide and a fatty acid of twelve to twenty-four carbon atoms in an oleaginous vehicle under conditions favoring the formation of calcium carbonate crystals in the form of calcite crystals, and

(2) reacting said product of step 1 with components comprising a boric acid compound to develop the grease like properties.

5. The process of claim 4 wherein the fatty acid comprises hydroxystearic acid.

6. A high performance calcium borate modified overbased calcium salicylate/calcium carbonate complex grease comprising overbased calcium salicylate, oleaginous vehicle, calcium carbonate in the calcite form, a calcium borate, and a calcium soap of a soap-forming aliphatic monocarboxylic acid containing at least twelve carbon atoms, wherein the calcium borate and the calcium soap are substantially homogeneously distributed through the grease, and at least a portion of the calcium soap acts as a converting agent along with carbon dioxide in the conversion of amorphous calcium carbonate to crystalline calcium carbonate in the form of calcite.

7. The composition of claim 6 wherein the soap-forming aliphatic monocarboxylic acid comprises hydroxystearic acid.
