Abstract:
A lubricant composition characterized by the Society of Automotive Engineers (“SAE”) as 75W-140 capable of meeting the American Petroleum Institute's (“API”) GL-5 performance classification requirements for use in association with a device involving metal to metal contact of moving parts comprising: (a) base-stock comprising (i) at least one relatively low viscosity polyalphaolefin, and (ii) at least one diester; (b) viscosity improver comprising (i) at least one relatively high viscosity polyalphaolefin, and (ii) polyisobutylene; and (c) a performance additive comprising at least one additive effective to improve at least one property of the lubricant and/or the performance of the equipment in which the lubricant is to be used.
Abstract:
A novel hydraulic fluid composition for application to drilling equipment is described herein. These hydraulic fluid compositions permit effective monitoring or controlling well-head pressure of a well during drilling on land or offshore. The hydraulic fluid compositions prevent uncontrolled flow of gas, oil, or another well fluid out of an underground formation during a drilling or extraction process when applied to the drilling equipment. Accordingly, provided is a hydraulic fluid concentrate which contains a water-soluble phosphate ester and a sulfide compound containing at least one S-S linkage, at least 10 carbon atoms and at least one terminal carboxylate group, wherein the S-S linkage bridges two alkyl groups. Additional components can be added to the concentrate and include one or more alkaline compound, one or more dicarboxylic acid or salt thereof, a water-soluble corrosion inhibitor, a water-soluble biocide, a pour point depressant, and water, ethylene glycol, or a combination thereof. The concentrate is then further diluted by the customer for use as described herein. Particularly, these compositions are effective in reducing seawater corrosion of a metal in contact with the hydraulic fluid composition, reducing bioaccumulation in oil drilling equipment contacted with the hydraulic fluid composition, and have low toxicity to sea life.
Abstract:
The invention relates to lubricating greases that contain calcium lignosulfonate, comprising a base oil, calcium soaps, calcium lignosulfonate having average molecular weights (weight average) of greater than 10000 g/mol, optionally in addition to further alkaline earth lingosulfonates, which can be produced by heating to greater than 120 °C while reacting and while driving out low-boiling components to produce a basic grease and cooling and adding base oil and optionally additives while mixing, to a corresponding method, and to the use of the lubricating greases containing calcium lignosulfonate.
Abstract:
A grease composition containing: (a) the reaction product of: (i) a calcium containing overbased organic acid; and (ii) at least one acid producing compound or derivatives thereof selected from the group consisting of: (1) a non-polymeric hydrocarbyl substituted dicarbonyl derivative selected from the group consisting of an acid, an ester, a salt, an anhydride, ester-acid, acid-salt and mixtures thereof; (2) a copolymer derived from monomers containing (1) an olefin; and (2) an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride or derivatives thereof; and (3) an inorganic acid containing about 2 or more acidic hydrogens; and (b) an oil of lubricating viscosity, wherein the overbased calcium sulphonate contains colloidally dispersed calcium carbonate is selected from the group consisting of calcite, vaterite and mixtures thereof. The invention further relates to the process to make the composition and its use in greases to increase water resistance.
Abstract:
Complex greases of overbased alkaline earth metal carboxylates are prepared by reacting an overbased alkaline earth metal salt of a fatty acid, wherein the alkaline earth metal salt has an alkaline earth metal content of at least 14.5% and a non-volatile matter content of at least 95% with conversion agents to form a grease precursor. The grease precursor is then reacted with complexing agents to form a predominantly vaterite containing non-Newtonian modified overbased metal carboxylate complex grease.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for preparing a lubricating composition, in particular a grease, the method at least comprising the steps of : a) providing a base oil composition optionally containing one or more additives; b) providing a solution of one or more alkyl- substituted quinolines or oligomeric derivatives thereof in a solvent; and c) adding the solution of step b) to the base oil composition of step a) at a temperature below 150°C.
Abstract:
A lubricating oil and a lubricant additive composition suitable for use in marine gear applications, including the gears of two-cycle or four-cyale outboard marine engines or the gears of an outdrive of an inboard/outboard marine drivetrain. The lubricating oil and additive composition may exhibit improved water emulsification and wear properties.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the lubrication and/or water repellency of gears used, in particular, during the practice of winter sports. A surface tension of the lubricant agent lower than that of the gear implies an increase of water repellency and thus, an improvement of the capability of removing the water film forming between the snow and the bottom lining of the gear during the reciprocal movement. In fact, this water film increases the adherence of the bottom lining to the snow and reduces the sliding thereof. Such lubricating action is achieved by the use of the compound having the described formula, pure or in a mixture.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an engine part coating created from polysiloxanes, said coating comprising one or more of the following compounds: cross-linked polymer made of polysiloxanes; silica; silicon-carbide-oxide; and silicon nitride. The coating can be obtained by the method steps of a) dispersing polysiloxane in a lubricant; b) bringing the lubricant into contact with certain surface areas inside an engine; c) subjecting the polysiloxane to such a temperature that it forms a silicon-containing coating on the contacted engine parts. The polysiloxane can be added to the motor oil as an additive or can be mixed directly with the fuel of a combustion engine.
