Abstract:
A process to prepare two or more lubricating base oil grades and a gas oil by (a) hydrocracking/hydroisomerizing a Fischer-Tropsch product, wherein weight ratio of compounds having at least 60 or more carbon atoms and compounds having at least 30 carbon atoms in the Fischer-Tropsch product is at least 0.2 and wherein at least 30 wt % of compounds in the Fischer-Tropsch product have at least 30 carbon atoms; (b) separating the product of step (a) into one or more gas oil fractions and a base oil precursor fraction; (c) performing a pour point reducing step to the base oil precursor fraction obtained in step (b); and (d) separating the effluent of step (c) in two or more base oil grades.
Abstract:
The invention concerns polyesters of at least one of polyhydroxylated compounds at least partly acylated, belonging the group consisting of polyhydroxylated compounds constituted by glycerol polycarbonates, specific polyglycerols, [(a-hydroxymethyl) oxyethylene/(a-hydroxymethyl) ethylene carbonate] copolymers, [(a-hydroxymethyl) oxyethylene/(a-hydroxymethyl) ethylene carbonate] copolymers, [(a-alkyl) oxyethylene/(a-hydroxyalkyl) oxyethylene] copolymers. The invention also concerns a method for acylating at least partly one of said polyhydroxylated compounds. The invention is applicable to the technical fields relating to engine and industrial lubricants, greases, hydraulic fluids, metal deformation and processing lubricants, stripping and mold dressing products, oil prospecting, mines, tunnel borers, cosmetics, detergency, inks, textile coatings and papers, to the field of food products, to the protection of wood as synthesis intermediates.
Abstract:
Thermally formed thermoplastic articles can be protected from stress cracking in the presence of stress cracking promoting compounds by forming a shaped article comprising a thermoplastic and a liquid hydrocarbon oil composition. We have found that the liquid hydrocarbon oil composition prevents the stress cracking promoting materials from interacting with the polymeric structure of the stressed container to prevent or inhibit stress cracking in such materials. The methods and compositions of the invention are particularly useful in preventing stress cracking in polyethylene terephthalate beverage containers during bottling operations during which the bottle is contacted with aqueous and non-aqueous materials such as cleaners and lubricants that can interact with the polyester to cause stress cracking particularly in the container base. A process for lubricating a container, such as a beverage container, or a conveyor for containers, by applying to the container or conveyor, a thin continuous, substantially non-dripping layer of a liquid lubricant. The process provides many advantages compared to the use of a conventional dilute aqueous lubricant.

Abstract:
An engine lubricant formulated as a complete crankcase motor oil or additive concentrate composed of a combination of chemical constituents including a base oil selected from a synthetic oil, a mineral oil or semi-synthetic base oil (hydrogenated oil) or combination thereof, an oil soluble molybdenum additive, a dispersant inhibitor containing zinc dithiophosphate, and viscosity index improvers and one or more seal swelling agents to lubricate the engine and recondition the seals of new and/or high mileage engines. Addition of a polyalphaolefin and/or one or more esters such as a diester or polyolester may also be utilized therein. The lubricant may be formulated as a complete engine oil crankcase lubricant, or concentrated into an additive for addition to conventional mineral oil based engine oil, synthetic engine oils, or blends thereof in an effective amount of up to 30 percent volume percent, typically from 20 to 25 percent by volume.
