The invention concerns the use of an oil composition for temporarily protecting
and lubricating metal surfaces, characterised in that said composition contains:
at least 30% of at least a saturated or unsaturated C18 fatty
acid triglyceride (Compound A); 5 to 30% of at least a C18 fatty
acid triglyceride with oleic acid content of at least 60 wt. % (Compound B); 5
to 30% of at least an ester derived from condensation of a C1-C12,
preferably, C1-C2 aliphatic alcohol, with a C18
fatty acid (Compound C); and optionally 5 to 20% of at least an amide derived
from condensation of a C18 ?fatty acid, and a C2-C6 mono-
di- or tri-alkanolamine (Compound D). The invention also concerns a corresponding
oil composition.
