Abstract:
Compositions for lubricants and methods for producing the same using spherical bismuth powder and spherical copper powder particles are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the lubricant includes a base oil, a grease, a copper powder, comprising at least one spherical particle, and a bismuth powder, comprising at least one spherical particle. The lubricant can be used as an engine oil, a gear oil, a grease lubricant, or a spray lubricant. When applying the lubricant to an internal combustible engine, the heat and pressure within the engine compresses the lubricant to infuse the copper and bismuth powder particles to the internal surface of the engine. When used in internal combustible engines, the disclosed lubricants deliver outstanding wear resistance, improve gas mileage, extend interval times needed for oil changes, and also reduce engine exhaust emission.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device101 for reducing the acidity of motor oil for combustion engines, which device is part of the engine's lubrication system and contains monovalent cation exchangers 102. It also relates to a method for regulating the acidity of motor oil whereby the oil is caused to pass through the acidity-regulating device according to the invention. The invention further relates to a vehicle provided with anacidity-regulating device for motor oil according to the invention.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to controlled release compositions that include: (a) a slow release component, comprising one or more performance additives in the form of a solid or semi-solid mass; and (b) a fast release component comprising (i) a matrix material and (ii) one or more additives that can be dissolved and/or dispersed into the matrix material as well as additive delivery systems and processes using such compositions, and which release one or more additives into a fluid.
Abstract:
The present invention provides the use of a lubricating composition comprising a base oil and one or more poly(hydroxycarboxylic acid) amide salt derivatives for the improvement of long-term friction reduction properties and/or extending drain interval, preferably in internal combustion engines.

Abstract:
Disclosed are lubricating oil compositions excellent in friction reducing effect and long drain properties and particularly suitable for internal combustion engines, which comprise a lubricating base oil, a specific phosphorus compound in an amount of 0.005 to 0.5 percent by mass in terms of phosphorus based on the total mass of the composition, and at least one additive selected from the group consisting of (C) metallic detergents, (D) ashless dispersants, and (E) anti-oxidants, and further contains (F) a sulfur-containing organic molybdenum complex and (G) an ashless friction modifier and which satisfy prescribed requirements and have a sulfated ash content not exceeding a specified level.
Abstract:
The invention provides a grease composition for a hub unit bearing employing an angular contact ball bearing, containing (a) as a thickener a mixture of diurea compounds represented by formula (I): R 1 -NHCONH-R 2 -NHCONH-R 1 , formula (II): R 1 -NHCONH-R 2 -NHCONH-R 3 , and formula (III): R 3 -NHCONH-R 2 -NHCONH-R 3 wherein R 1 is cyclohexyl group, R 2 is a divalent aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 15 carbon atoms, R 3 is a straight-chain or branched alkyl group having 12 to 20 carbon atoms, and (R 1 /(R 1 +R 3 )) x 100 = 85 to 95 mol%; (b) a base oil; (c) a molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate; and (d) a calcium sulfonate. The grease composition of the invention, when used in the hub unit bearing, shows minimum leakage, excellent anti-flaking properties and satisfactory bearing lubrication life.
