Abstract:
The invention relates to thermally conductive greases that may contain carrier oil(s), dispersant(s), and thermally conductive particles, wherein the thermally conductive particles are a mixture of at least three distributions of thermally conductive particles, each of the at least three distributions of thermally conductive particles having an average (D50) particle size which differs from the other average particle sizes by at least a factor of 5.
Abstract:
A novel ashless polymeric dispersant is claimed which is suitable for use in an automotive lubricant composition. The ashless polymeric dispersant has a number average molecular weight of between 200 and 15,000 and derived from the reaction of a polar head group, which comprises a polar moiety having more than one amine, alcohol, acid or halogen functionality with two or more polar tail groups where each polar tail group comprises a polymeric backbone of 2 to 30 monomeric repeat units, each repeat unit comprising a hydrocarbon chain functionalised by the presence of at least one electronegative element or moiety. The dispersant has good dispersancy properties, when used as a sole dispersant or in combination with other dispersants. It provides enhanced seal resistance and has good oxidative stability in automotive applications as compared to current commercial products. Furthermore the low temperature viscosity of an automotive lubricant composition containing the dispersant is superior to that of a composition with current commercial dispersants.

Abstract:
Thio-bis-(hydrocarbyl substituted diacid materials), such as thio-bis-(polyalkyl lactone acid) and/or their precursors, the adducts of sulfur chloride and unsaturated diacid materials, e.g., 4,8-bis-polyalkyl-4,8-dichloro-6-thiaundecane-1,2,10,11-tetracarboxylic acid bis-anhydride and their dehydrochlorinated analogs, when esterified with an alcohol, preferably a polyol, such as pentaerythritol, polypentaerythritol or a polyalkylene glycol with or without acid catalysts and/or metal template reagents yield thio-bis-(alkyl lactone acid esters) and thio-bis-(hydrocarbyl diacid esters) which can be characterized in part, as macrocyclic and/or macrocyclic-like structures, are useful as stable additives in lubricating compositions, e.g. as varnish inhibiting dispersants for lubricating oils and fuels.
Abstract:
Materials of the general formula MXY.sub.3 wherein M is selected from the group consisting of Mg, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Cd, Sn, Pb and mixtures thereof; X is a pnictide selected from the group consisting of phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, and mixtures thereof, and Y is a chalcogenide selected from the group consisting of sulfur, selenium and mixtures thereof, have been discovered to be superior lubricants exhibiting resistance to oxidation and thermal degradation, low friction, excellent antiwear activity and long effective life. Metal surfaces coated with such materials resist gauling and damage due to adhesive or corrosive wear. These materials can be used as dry solid lubricants or as additives to oils and greases.
