Abstract
It is shown that besides graphite and molybdenum disulfide, other solids such as certain inorganic phosphates, oxides, hydroxides, and sulfides can be used for the preparation of lubricating mineral oil suspensions and pastes. With these compounds the range of lubrication by solids can be extended to such applications in which, up to now, molybdenum disulfide and graphite could not be used due to their black color or some other physical properties. In the case of pyrophosphates it is found that chemical reactions can explain, in part, the lubrication mechanism.
