AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing gelling agents for calcium sulfonate greases are slow in converting amorphous calcium carbonate to crystalline calcite, and they pose environmental toxicity concerns due to their volatility.

Method used

The use of branched aliphatic diols, such as 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol, as a gelling agent in the calcium sulfonate grease formulation, which facilitates rapid conversion of amorphous calcium carbonate to crystalline calcite within 1 hour and reduces environmental toxicity.

Benefits of technology

The solution provides a rapid conversion process while ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the gelling agent, resulting in a stable and efficient calcium sulfonate grease with improved properties.
