Abstract
Abstract A lubricating grease comprised of 2 to 8% by weight of an aluminum fatty acid soap, 25 to 98% by weight of a polymer of hydrogenated polyisobutylene having a mean molecular weight ranging from 300 to 2500, 0.2% polyisobutylene having a mean molecular weight higher than 100,000 and about 2 to 58% of lubricating oil.

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
A lubricating grease as defined in claim 2 wherein the aluminum soap is in the range of 3 to 8%, the hydrogenated polyisobutylene is in the range of 35 to 87% and the lubricating mineral oil is in the range of 10 to 48%.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The lubricating grease of claim 1 wherein the aluminum soap is an aluminum soap of a carboxylic fatty acid containing from 12 to 20 carbon atoms.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
141 words
A process for the manufacture of lubricating greases which comprise: dispersing at 15°-50° C 2 to 8% by weight, based on the total composition, of aluminum fatty acid soap, into 10 to 50% by weight of a hydrogenated polymer of polyisobutylene said polymer having a mean molecular weight of between 300 and 2500. progressively heating said dispersion, adding 2 to 58% by weight of mineral lubricating oil when the temperature reaches 90° to 110° C, slowly adding 0.2% polyisobutylene having a mean molecular weight higher than 100,000 and 15 to 48% by weight of a polymer of hydrogenated isobutylene, said polymer having a mean molecular weight of between 300 and 2500 when the temperature reaches 150° to 180° C, and maintaining such temperature during the addition of the polymer, cooling the mixture and homogenizing said mixture at 10° to 35° C.
