IMPROVING THE RUST PREVENTIVE PROPERTIES OF MULTIPURPOSE GREASES

Abstract

Eighteen compounds or mixtures were selected for testing as rust preventive additives for greases. They were intimately mixed into a selected base grease in predetermined percentages. A screening test was developed and those additives showing up well on it were further tested by Method 4012 of Federal Standard No. 791. The greases containing the best performing additives were checked to determine if any of the requirements of MIL-G-10924B, Grease, Automotive and Artillery, had been seriously altered. The minimum effective percentages of the additive displaying the best protection was determined. The most effective additives were incorporated in minimum concentration in commercial greases which had failed to meet the rust preventive test to see if improvements could be made.
