Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A grease composition includes a base oil and a thickener. The thickener contains a urea compound and a styrene-based polymer. A content of the styrene-based polymer is 2% by mass or more and 30% by mass or less as to a total amount of the urea compound and the styrene-based polymer. In the thickener, an average value of diameter of particles with a diameter of 0.2 μm or more is 0.2 μm or more and 1.0 μm or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of producing a grease composition, comprising: providing a styrene-based polymer, an amine compound, an isocyanate compound, a lubricating oil, a first solvent that does not dissolve a urea compound that is generated, and a second solvent that does not dissolve the urea compound that is generated; wherein a content of the styrene-based polymer is 2% by mass or more and 30% by mass or less relative to a total amount of the urea compound and the styrene-based polymer; dissolving or dispersing the amine compound in the first solvent, dissolving or dispersing the isocyanate compound in the second solvent, dissolving or dispersing the styrene-based polymer in one or both of the first solvent and the second solvent, such that a first blended solution containing at least the amine compound and a second blended solution containing at least the isocyanate compound are prepared; blending the first blended solution and the second blended solution, and carrying out reaction of the amine compound and the isocyanate compound, such that a third blended solution containing the styrene-based polymer and the urea compound is generated; and adding the lubricating oil after removing the first solvent and the second solvent from the third blended solution.
