Appeal No. 2006-3310 Page 3
Application No. 10/282,424
wherein said composition is dispensable at room temperature
without the application of heat and has a Mil-907-E breakaway torque
of less than 250 foot-pounds.
20. An article of manufacturer comprising:
a. a dispensing container for housing and returnably dispensing
a non-flowable anti-seize composition, said container comprising a
generally elongate hollow body having first and second ends, with one
of said ends defining a dispense opening;
b. the solid anti-seize composition of Claim 1 within said
container.
21. A method of using the article of Claim 20 comprising:
dispensing a portion of said anti-seize composition from said
dispense opening;
applying an amount of said portion of said anti-seize composition
onto a threaded surface of a substrate;
retracting an unapplied amount of said portion of said
composition through said dispense opening and into said elongate
hollow body.
22. A method for preparing a solid anti-seize composition comprising:
selecting a grease with an ASTM D 217 penetration at 25°C from
about 200 to about 400 mm;
selecting a naphthenic petroleum oil with a viscosity of less than
about 300 SUS at 100°F and an API gravity at 60°F from about 23 to
about 25;
mixing said grease and said oil to form a combined oil/grease
composition;
adding and mixing into said oil/grease composition (a) a solid
anti-seize lubricant; and (b) a polymeric matrix to form said solid anti-
seize composition.
24. The composition of Claim 1, wherein said anti-seize composition is
dimensionally stable up to 130°F.
The claimed anti-seize composition of claim 1 has three recited components:
anti-seize lubricant, grease, and a carrier. The carrier, which can be oil, polymeric
matrix, wax or petroleum oil, is present “in an amount to render said composition non-
flowable at temperatures greater than about 120°F.” The term “non-flowable” is not
