<p>The invention relates to a thread compound, containing graphite, grease and usual additives, to a process for the preparation thereof and to the use of said compound. The thread compound according to the invention contains 20-50%, by weight, of powdered graphite, 10-25%, by weight, of powdered talc, and balance to 100%, by weight, of grease and the usual additives. The thread compounds according to the invention do not contain lead or lead compounds, but still have the above-mentioned desired properties. Preferred thread compounds of the invention comprise 28-35%, by weight, of the powdered graphite, 14-17.5%, by weight, of the powdered talc, and balance to 100%, by weight, of the grease and the usual additives. Surprisingly good results may be obtained when in the thread compound the amount of talc is about 50%, by weight, of the amount of the graphite.</p> |
