Abstract
Disclosed is a grease composition comprising a major proportion of a grease, a hydroxy-containing soap thickener and a minor amount of a boronated catechol compound. The hydroxy-containing soap thickener and boronated catechol (ortho dihydroxybenzene) compound are each added in amounts sufficient to increase the dropping point of the grease an appreciable amount. The catechol (ortho dihydroxybenzene) compounds useful in this invention include catechol borates, catechol-alcohol borate compounds and catechol-amine borate compounds.
