Anti-seize composition with nano-sized lubricating solid particles
View Patent ↗An anti-seize composition includes lubricating solids and at least one of a material selected from a grease and an oil. The lubricating solids include at least 15 weight percent of nano-sized lubricating solid particles. The nano-sized lubricating solid particles each have at least one dimension, on average, of less than 500 nm.
1. A method of using a composition useful for anti-seize and/or lubricating purposes, the method comprising the steps of:
obtaining an anti-seize/lubricating composition comprising at least one of a material selected from the group consisting of a grease and an oil; and
11 percent to 80 percent by weight of composition of nano-sized lubricating solid particles, wherein said nano-sized lubricating solid particles each have at least one dimension, in average, of less than 500 nm;
applying a portion of said anti-seize/lubricating composition onto a first surface; and
matingly engaging said surface with a complementary second surface;
wherein the first surface and the second surface remain stationary with respect to each other during use.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the anti-seize/lubricating composition further comprises at least one polymeric thickener and wherein the composition is in stick form.
3. A method of using an anti-seize/lubricating composition, comprising the steps of:
providing an anti-seize/lubricating composition in stick form comprising:
at least one of a material selected from the group consisting of a grease and an oil:
11 percent to 80 percent by weight of composition of nano-sized lubricating solid particles, wherein said nano-sized lubricating solid particles each have at least one dimension, on average, of less than 500 nm; and
at least one polymeric thickener;
applying a portion of the anti-seize/lubricating composition onto a first surface; and
matingly engaging said surface with a complementary second surface;
wherein the first surface and the second surface remain stationary with respect to each other during use.
4. The method of claim 3 wherein the step of applying comprises wiping a portion of the stick form anti-seize/lubricating composition against the first surface.
