((11.226-19) This invention relates to the packaging of grease, especially grease that is used for lubrieating purposes. Grease is-usually shipped in ment applies not only to untreated paper and paperboard but also to paper and paperboard coated with any of the usualparafiin coating compositions used for rendering the paper imof any suitable shape. The inner surface of this container! iscoated, as shown at 2a in Fig.4 with a liquid composition consisting of a waxmetal or wood containers which are relatively permeable to ordinary liquids. The principal object of the. present inventionis to devise a satisfactory paperboard container for grease and to devise a method of packaging grease therein. The invention consists principally in coating the inside of apaperboard container with a. paraffin wax-in-water emulsion containing graphite in suspension and then pouring melted grease into the container. It also consists in the container coated with said composition and dried and also in thepackage consisting of the container with the grease melted: therein. It also consists in specific details hereinafter described and claimed.
Fig. 3 is a similar view of a package consisting. of the containerwith grease therein,
Fig; 4 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view of the container wall with the wax-in-water coating freshly applied thereto,
Fig.5 is a similar fragmentary view showing the coating after absorption and evaporation of the water contentof the coating, that is, in a condition ready to receive the grease; and

in-water emulsion having finely divided graphite suspended therein. The greater portion of the water of the emulsion is absorbed by thecardboard leaving behind a film of wax and graphite as shown at 21) in Figs:'2 and 5. Then the container is permitted to dry. Melted grease 3 is then poured into the container with the result that the wax of the coating is melted anda portion thereof is absorbed into the wall of the container and the rest is absorbed by the melted The graphite then remains behind as a barrier coat or film 20 between the grease and the wall of the container and functions to prevent the grease from being absorbed by the wall of the container and also functions to prevent or minimize the sticking of the grease: to the Wall of the container. Thus the initial wax-inwater emulsion serves as a temporary or fugitive vehicle or medium by which graphite can be applied as a thin continuous film between the] grease and the wall of the container. The-water component of the emulsion is evaporated and The wax component impregnates and Waterproofs the paperboardwithout discoloring or impairing the outer surface thereof; and as the paraffin wax is similar in character to the grease, the qualities of the grease are notappreciably affected by the intrusion of wax into it.
The graphite, which remains as a barrier. film. adheres more strongly to the paperboard than to 1 the grease so that very little,if any, graphite vgets into the grease; and as graphite is itself '70 parts byweight of triethanolamine, about parts by weight of stearic acid and. about 1060 parts by weight of water. The triethanolamine is an emulsifyingagent that effectively disperses the wax in the water and the stearic acid combines with the emulsifying agent to form a soap that aids in emulsification. In preparing the emulsion, the parafin and the stearic acid were fmelted and heated in a water bath to a temperature of F. The triethanolamine was added to the emulsion water and the solution boiled and the paraflih-and stearic acid solution were then added with constant stirring until the liquid became 0001. Thi produced an emulsion containing aboutsixty percent of water.

In preparing emulsion No. 2, the'paraffinand,
stearic acid were melted and heated in a water bath to 170 F. The sodium silicate was dissolved in the emulsion water and thissolutionwas heated to boiling, The hot parafIin-stearicaci'd mix:
ture was slowly added to the boiling sodium silicate solution and constantly stirredi until; the I mixture cooled. This produced an emulsion containing about 76% water.

This coat contains enough graphite to form a continuous film when the; wax is melted and passes'by absorption into the grease and the Wall of the container. The wax is beneficial to the paperboard and neither the wax nor the other ingredients are-harmful to thegrease. After the Water and the Wax are into the paperboard.

The borax accelerates the actionof the emulsifying agent, and; makes for better spreading qualities. 7 This emulsion Nos 3, contains, about? 7,0,; percent. of water.
In preparing emulsion No. the narafin. and carnauba, wax were heated; together in a Water bath and the temperature maintained all-2,05?"
