Additives for Straight Mineral Oil Gear Lubricants

,
All gear oils should contain a foam inhibitor, probably in the range of 5 to 10 parts per million. In order to arrive at approximately the correct proportion of such an additive, it is best to use a concentrate. This may be a ten per cent dispersion of a dimethy1 silicone in either kerosene or carbon tetrachloride.
Suppliers of silicone polymers offer antifoam additives, most often as concentrates and will suggest proportions to add to gear lubricants. Other compounds or  dispersions of the  same  are also  available  from  additive  suppliers who  furnish  instructions  for use.
While  most  industrial gear oils  are  not subjected  to  elevated  temperatures, the  presence  of a small  proportion of  oxidation  inhibitor is an assurance  of long life  and little deterioration of the oils. Additives such as 2, 6 – ditertiary – buty1 -4 – methyl  phenols or phenyl  alpha or  beta  naphthylamine , used  in  proportions  of 0.1 to 1.0 per cent, should be  found satisfactory for  most  straight  mineral gear  oils. The first compound or one quite similar is supplied by several concerns, often under a trade name. Other  antioxidants  will  be  noted in  various formulations to  follow and  will also  be  found in  Boner where the  source  is also shown.
For special applications other types of additives may also be found necessary in what can be classed as straight mineral oils. Thus, Watson  and Tierney  Formulated oils to be used under wet  conditions on paper  making  machines where a circulating  oil would  serve both bearings  and  gears. Since, in  this  operation, the  oil passing through the  system is  quickly  contaminated  with  water which  settles out, retention of  the rust   preventive additive  is quite important. A  suitable  formulation, which  retained the  major portion of the  additives after over a 1000 hours of  service, consists of : a  base  oil  blended from a paraffin  distillate  and a  paraffin residual  and having a  viscosity SUS at 100 degree F of 653, a pour  point of -10 degree F, and  a V.I. of  85; 2.0 per cent  by  weight  of a 50  per cent concentrate of  barium  dinonylnaphthalene   sulfonate in a light oil; 0.75 per cent of Zinc  dimethylisobutyl  carbinyl  dithiophosphate ; 0,10 per cent  of a  chlorinated  paraffin  wax naphthalene  condensation product; and 150  ppm of a 10 per cent  solution of  dimethyl  silicone  polymer in  kerosine.

    Preservative used in wine-making and other processed foods. According to the FDA, approximately one in 100 people is sensitive to sulfites in food. The majority of these individuals are asthmatic, suggesting a link between asthma and sulfites. Individuals who are sulfite sensitive may experience headaches, breathing problems, and rashes. In severe cases, sulfites can actually cause death by closing down the airway altogether, leading to cardiac arrest. visit here
