Inhibited greases

Screw the suppressor tube onto the barrel-receiver after lubricating the barrel and tube with a rust inhibiting grease. Align the Index narks on the bottom of the housing and receiver near the setscrew hole. Replace the setscrew. 

This class of materials includes inhibited greases produced by impregnation of a polymer thickener into liquid oils foamed by the inhibitor vapors. The polymer forms a skeleton that, under high loads, imparts the properties of a solid to the lubricant p < 0.1 — 2.0 kPa). Thanks to the high viscosity of the foamed oil, it localizes in the polymer skeleton cells so that the system becomes quasi-compatible. It can be roughly referred to as a plastic, although showing the properties of both solid and liquid polymer materials. 

Inhibited greases were until recently the major and in fact unique material for preserving hardware. Today they tend to be replaced by liquid inhibited lubricants, thin coats and films. Sealing lubricants are used to tighten or to alleviate screwing/unscrewing of threaded joints in engineering, machine-tool construction and the oil and gas industry. 

Lithium hydroxide can be used for preparation of numerous lithium salts. The dominant use is the preparation of lithium stearate [4485-12-5], which is added to lubricating greases in amounts up to about 10% by weight. This salt has very low water solubiHty and extends the acceptable viscosity for the grease to both low and high temperatures (see Lubrication and lubricants). Lithium hydroxide is also used in production of dyes (62) and has been proposed as a source of lithium ion for inhibition of alkaH-aggregate expansive reactivity in concrete (63). 

Sulfonic acid salts have found widespread use in the area of corrosion inhibition. Lubrizol Corporation produces a wide variety of sulfonic acids, particularly in the form of magnesium salts, for use in lubricant formulations, anticorrosion coatings, greases, and resins (146,147). Petroleum sulfonates are used in epoxy resin elastomers to improve anticorrosion properties of coatings and sealants (qv) (148,149). 

The use of dispersants is highly recommended in systems containing silt, sand, oil, grease, biological material, and/or other foreign material. Not only does increased dispersion generally increase the effectiveness of chemical inhibition, it also prevents nucleation of oxygen concentration cells beneath foulants.

Nature of the metal surface Clean, smooth, metal surfaces usually require a lower concentration of inhibitor for protection than do rough or dirty surfaces. Relative figures for minimum concentrations of benzoate, chromate and nitrite necessary to inhibit the corrosion of mild steel with various types of surface finish have been given in a recent laboratory studyThese results show that benzoate effectiveness is particularly susceptible to surface preparation. It is unwise, therefore, to apply results obtained in laboratory studies with one type of metal surface preparation to other surfaces in practical conditions. The presence of oil, grease or corrosion products on metal surfaces will also affect the concentration of inhibitor required with the... 

Nature of the environment This is usually water, an aqueous solution or a two- (or more) component system in which water is one component. Inhibitors are, however, sometimes required for non-aqueous liquid systems. These include pure organic liquids (Al in chlorinated hydrocarbons) various oils and greases and liquid metals (Mg, Zr and Ti have been added to liquid Bi to prevent mild steel corrosion by the latter ). An unusual case of inhibition is the addition of NO to N2O4 to prevent the stress-corrosion cracking of Ti-6A1-4V fuel tanks when the N2O4 is pressurised... 

The practice of corrosion inhibition requires that the inhibitive species should have easy access to the metal surface. Surfaces should therefore be clean and not contaminated by oil, grease, corrosion products, water hardness scales, etc. Furthermore, care should be taken to avoid the presence of deposited solid particles, e.g. stones, swarf, building materials, etc. This ideal state of affairs is often difficult to achieve but there are many cases where less than adequate consideration has been given to the preparation of systems to receive inhibitive treatment. Acid treatments, notably with 3-5% citric acid, with or without associated detergent washes, are often recommended and adopted for cleaning systems prior to inhibition. However, it is not always appreciated that these treatments will not remove particulate material particularly when, as is often the case, the material is insoluble in acids. 

Control of foulants and corrosion debris Because of the very large volume in these HW systems, there is an obvious reluctance to unnecessarily drain them down because of the development of waterside problems. Therefore, it is important to ensure that before regular operation they are provided with a proper precommission cleaning procedure. This process removes silt, mill-scale, grease, and other foulants, thus enabling passivation and subsequent maintenance inhibition to take place.

Oils, greases and waxes are used for the temporary inhibition of corrrosion. They act as a barrier, preventing the condensation of water on the metal surface. Inhibitors such as piperidine (59) and morpholine (60) are often incorporated to give added protection. Volatile amines are also used in boilers they function by reducing the acidity of the steam condensate, thereby making it less corrosive. 

Cal suds or Cal soft based products remove ground-in dirt and grease in heavy fabrics and gently clean delicate knits in cold water. They inhibit static build-up and provide lubricity, fulling and softening. 

On the previous Friday, a tank of an organic solvent product was found to be high in acidity and was out of spec in color. The solvent was a nonflammable cleaning fluid used to clean grease and soil from common metals. The solvent contained an inhibiting stabilizer (nitro-methane) that is added to keep the fluid from corroding metals.
