Abstract A LUBRICANT CONCENTRATE COMPOSITION WHICH COMPRISES FROM ABOUT 3 TO 75 PERCENT BY WEIGHT OF AN ALKALI METAL ORTHOPHOSPHATE, ABOUT 15 TO 97 PERCENT BY WEIGHT OF AN ALKALI METAL FATTY ACID SOAP, CONTAINING FROM ABOUT 8 TO 22 CARBON ATOMS, AND AT LEAST 0.1 PERCENT BY WEIGHT OF A SURFACE ACTIVE AGENT SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF NON-IONIC ETHYLENE OXIDE-ALCOHOL CONDENSATES AND AMPHOTERIC BIODEGRADABLE SURFACE ACTIVE AGENTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONCENTRATE COMPOSITION MAY CONTAIN FROM ABOUT 0.1 TO 80 PERCENT BY WEIGHT OF A WATER DISPERSIBLE DILUENT SELECTED FROM WATER SOLUBLE AND COLLOIDALLY SUSPENDABLE DILUENTS, SUCH AS SUGAR AND POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL HAVING A MOLECULAR WEIGHT FROM ABOUT 100 TO 10,000. AN AQUEOUS LUBRICANT COMPOSITION CONTAINING FROM ABOUT 10 TO 400 POUNDS OF THIS CONCENTRATE PER HUNDRED GALLONS OF SOLUTION MAY BE USED TO FORM A LUBRICANT COATING ON A CHEMICALLY COATED METAL SURFACE, SUCH AS A PHOSPHATE COATED METAL SURFACE, WHICH SURFACE MAY THEN BE DEFORMED AFTER THE LUBRICANT COATING HAS BEEN DRIED.
