Abstract
Abstract A coating consisting essentially of 0.5% to 50%, preferably 2% to 20%, by volume, polyethylene oxide and about 6% to 30% a dispersion agent selected from the group consisting of propylene glycol, glycerol, ethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol and hexylene glycol, with the ratio of polyethylene oxide-to-dispersion agent, by volume, being no greater than 2:1 and preferably 1:3. The remainder being essentially water. The coating is useful as a lubricant to facilitate pulling plastic-sheathed cable through a conduit, drawing wire through a die and mounting a tire on a rim. The coating is an emollient for wood and useful in metalworking to inhibit or otherwise control oxidation, and as an annealing and normalizing agent.
