Abstract:
A binary two phase engine oil composition having two substantially immiscible liquid phases exhibits improved fuel economy which is maintained over an extended period. The first liquid phase comprises a base oil, natural or synthetic. The second liquid phase is a polar organic liquid, preferably a complex alcohol ester, preferably derived from a polyol, a polybasic acid, and a monohydric alcohol.
Abstract:
A composition is disclosed which comprises (A) At least one oil comprising a synthetic triglyceride, a natural oil or a derivative of a natural oil: (B) a hydrogenated block copolymer comprising a normal block copolymer or a random block copolymer, said normal block copolymer made from a vinyl substituted aromatic and an aliphatic conjugated diene, said normal block copolymer having from two to about five polymer blocks with at least one polymer block of said vinyl substituted aromatic and at least one polymer block of said aliphatic conjugated diene, said random block copolymer made from vinyl substituted aromatic and aliphatic conjugated diene monomers, the total amount of said vinyl substituted aromatic blocks in said block copolymer being in the range of from about 20 percent to about 70 percent by weight and the total amount of said diene blocks in said block copolymer being in the range of from about 30 percent to about 80 percent by weight; the number average molecular weight of said normal block copolymer and said random block copolymer being in the range of about 5,000 to about 1,000,000; and (C) at least one pour point depressant. In addition to components (A), (B), and (C) the composition may also contain (D) a performance additive.
Abstract:
There has been disclosed herein a lubricant for refrigerating machines employing as a refrigerant 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane or 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane which comprises as an essential component a base oil comprising (A) 40 to 95% by weight of a synthetic oil formed of a poly-α-olefin or a mixture of a poly-α-olefin and an alkylbenzene and (B) 5 to 60% by weight of a fluidity improver formed of both or either of an ester compound and a triglyceride. The lubricant is used along with a substitute flon refrigerant, and is excellent in the performance such as wear resistance, electrical insulating properties, hydrolytic stability, nonhygroscopicity, etc. and also in returnability of the lubricant. Thus, the lubricant is especially effective when used in automobile or household air conditioner, refrigerator, etc. having high industrial usefulness.

Date May 31, 1990.Compounds of general formula (I), wherein R1 is hydrogen, C1-4 alkyl or a group of formula (II): -O(CH(R10)CH2O)nR20, R2 is hydrogen or a group of formula (III): -O(CH(R11)CH2O)mR21, R3 is a group of formula (IV): -(CH(R12)CH2O)pR22, and R4 is a group of formula (V): -(CH(R13)CH2O)rR23, where R10, R11, R12 and R13 each is hydrogen or CH3, R20 R21, R22 and R23 each is an acyl moiety of a polycarboxylic acid, and n, m, p and r each is an integer from 1 to 15; q is 1 or 2; with the provisos that if q is 2, then the 2 groups R1 may be the same or different and the 2 groups R2 may be the same or different; and, if one or more of the groups R20, R 21, R22, and R23 is an acyl moiety of a polycarboxylic acid group, then 0-3 of the remaining carboxy groups of the polycarboxylic acid form the acyl function(s) of a moiety R20, R21, R22, and R23 in another unit of formula (I); and at least one of any free carboxylic acid groups are neutralized, as well as compositions comprising compounds of formula (I) and an additive, and aqueous emulsions of such compounds or compositions. The compounds of formula (I) are useful as self-emulsifying compounds, as cooling/lubricating agents in the machining of metals, in hydraulic fluids, and as mould release agents.
