A lubricating composition for the manufacture and surface treatment of metallic pipe, wire, sheet and so on contains a high molecular polyester or polyurethane having a weight average molecular weight of not less than 10,000 which is the product of reacting a polyalkylene oxide compound formed by on addition-polymerization of an ethylene oxide-containing alkylene oxide and an organic compound having two active hydrogen groups with a polycarboxylic acid or the corresponding anhydride or lower alkyl ester to form the polyester or with a diisocyanate to form the polyurethane. The composition forms a highly lubricating film, and since this film is readily soluble in water and organic solvents, residues of the lubricating composition on the treated surface can be easily dissolved off after metal working.

Metal working lubricating composition

A dispersing agent for use in dispersing a finely divided solid powder in a nonaqueous dispersion medium and a dispersion prepared by using the dispersing agent. The dispersing agent of this invention is a low acid value lanolin fatty acid and/or a salt of the same. By means of this dispersing agent, there can be easily obtained a homogeneous and stable nonaqueous dispersion from which the incorporated solid particles will not separate out or settle even on prolonged standing. Therefore, this dispersing agent can be used advantageously in a broad range of applications such as coatings, dyes, pigments, inks, fuels, lubricating materials and so on.
