FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to the field of industrial lubricants. More particularly, the present invention relates to the preparation of a lubricant with anti-perspiration properties for lubricating machine components and for treating sweat gland disorder.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Lubrication of limited life time machine parts and components is ari effective step towards optimizing the productivity and production cost by reducing the wear due to friction and oxidation, particularly in textile industry. A Ring spinning machine consists of creel, bobbin, guides, spindle rail, spindle bolster, ring, traveller and numerous other parts in which Ring and Traveller plays a major in the yarn formation. The limit of productivity of the ring spinning machine is defined by the Traveller interdependence with the Ring and the yarn. It is correspondingly important for the mill specialist to understand the significant factors affecting the ring and traveller. In consequence of continuous operation, the traveller is subjected to wear at a faster rate than the other components. A traveller can last up to 7 to 15 days of operation. The life of a traveller can be forecasted based on its wear in the first few hours of operation. It's crucial to reduce the wear of travellers in order to optimize the production.
"Palmer Hyperhidrosis" is excessive sweating of palms that occur due to Fa"nxiety5or in s'o'mfei eas^s it mayTdevalop/frprg gdolescerjGeQExternai factors

such as temperature, working condition may cause sweating of palms which is not necessarily considered palmer hyperhidrosis but a temporary sweating condition due to environment. As in the aforementioned example, the operational temperature of the spinning mills is high and causes sweat due to the working environment.
Normally, the Travellers are inserted into the Ring manually by the workers. Workers carry the ring travellers in their palm while replacing the Travellers. During that time, the sweat from their hands sticks to the traveller. The wetness of the traveller accelerates oxidation, thereby speeding up the wear rate of the Ring. Moreover, yarn quality is affected due to the surface roughness due to the Rust present in the traveller as a result of oxidation.
Different methods have been devised to reduce the Ring and traveller wear due to friction. For example, the US patent 5523006 suggests an ultra-fine powder lubricant. The ultra-fine powder particles are made from metals like copper, zinc, tin and nickel in the size range of microns and are mixed with the carrier agent like vegetable or mineral oils. The mixture is stabilized by Brownian movement. The limitation of this lubricant mixture is the liquid carrier sticks on to the components and produces an unwanted coating on the surface of the products. The chemicals added to the lubricant are hazardous to the people handling it.

The Indian patent application 686/MUMNP/2009 shows a method of lubricating ring spinning machine. The purpose is achieved by clamping the U-shaped lubricating channel on the lower side of the ring rail and the lubricant is dispersed continuously on the'ring rail by means of wick arrangement. The limitation of this method is it does not concentrates on lubricating the traveller. Furthermore, no attempt was made to reduce the oxidation of traveller caused due to sweat.
There may be several inventions in the existing prior arts for providing powder based lubricants. However, there are no such inventions in the existing prior art to use powder based dry lubricants for lubricating the replaceable machine components. Furthermore, there are no such methods to reduce the wear of smaller components due to oxidation caused by sweat. Therefore, the present invention is introduced to reduce the wear rate of machine components by lubrication. Moreover, it is introduced to prevent oxidation due to sweat by providing an antiperspirant.
