THE METHOD OF PREPARING AN EXTREME PRESSURE CALCIUM BASE GREASE WHICH COMPRISES SAPONIFYING A SAPONI FIABLE MATERIAL CHOSEN FROM THE CLASS CONSISTING OF SUBSTANTIALLY SATURATED UNSUBSTITUTED AND HYDROXY SUBSTITUTED C12-18 FATTY ACIDS, MIXTURES THEREOF AND THEIR ESTERS, WITH A BASIC REACTING CALCIUM COMPOUND IN THE PRESENCE OF AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE LUBRICATING OIL CONTAINED IN THE FINISHED GREASE CONTAINING A NEUTRAL CALCIUM SALT OF A FATTY ACID CONTAINING 1-3 CARBON ATOMS PER MOLECULAR IN AN AMOUNT SUFFICIENT TO GIVE 15-26 PERCENT BY WEIGHT OF THE SAID SALT IN THE FINISHED GREASE AND A MOL RATIO OF CALCIUM SALT TO CALCIUM SOAP OF 7:1 TO 20:1, AND AN ESTOLIDE OF A C10-24 HYDROXY FATTY ACID HAVING A MOLECULAR WEIGHT IN THE RANGE 500-2500 IN AN AMOUNT SUFFICIENT TO GIVE ABOUT 0.1-2.5 PERCENT OF ESTOLIDE IN THE FINISHED GREASE, THEREAFTER HEATING THE GREASE MIXTURE THUS OBTAINED AT A HIGHER TEMPERATURE ABOVE 250*F. BUT BELOW 400*F. UNTIL AT LEAST SUBSTANTIAL THICKENING HAS OCCURRED AND FINALLY COOLING THE GREASE MIXTURE AND ADDING ANY ADDITIONAL LUBRICATING OIL REQUIRED TO OBTAIN A GREASE OF THE DESIRED GRADE.
