Abstract:
Provided herein are methods of making estolide base oils, including those having a high kinematic viscosity. In certain embodiments, an ultra high-viscosity estolide base oil is prepared from hydroxy fatty acids derived from the hydrolysis of a first estolide base oil.
Abstract:
The presently claimed invention is directed to a method for reducing the friction coefficient of a lubricating oil composition in the lubrication of a mechanical device comprising formulating said lubricating oil composition with a carboxylic acid ester obtainable by reacting a mixture comprising at least on dicarboxylic acid and at least one branched C 10 alcohol.
Abstract:
Ashless corrosion inhibitor compositions including one or more reaction product formed from the reaction of a polyether compound of formula (I) and a hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride of formula (I) are provided herein, along with lubricant compositions containing same, and methods of using same for inhibiting corrosion of a metal.
Abstract:
Provided herein are compositions containing at least one estolide compound and at least one ene and/or Diels Alder compound. In certain embodiments, the addition of at least one ene and/or Diels Alder compound to an estolide-containing composition may improve the cold temperature, viscometric, and/or anti-wear properties of the composition.
Abstract:
The presently claimed invention is directed to the novel use of polyester obtainable by reacting a mixture comprising cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid and an alcohol mixture comprising 1 - nonanol, monomethyloctanols, dimethylheptanols and monoethylheptanols and subsequent hydrogenation of said total mixture as lubricants and a lubricant composition comprising these polyesters.
Abstract:
A lubricant composition comprising an oil of lubricating viscosity and an N-hydrocarbyl-substituted γ -aminoester or γ -aminothioester, wherein the N-hydrocarbyl substituent comprises a hydrocarbyl group of at least 3 carbons atoms, with a branch at the 1 or 2 position of the hydrocarbyl chain, provides exhibits basicity and good seal performance.
Abstract:
A composition useful as a lubricant for an automatic transmission comprises an oil of lubricating viscosity and a condensation product of an aromatic polycarboxylic acid or mixtures thereof or a reactive equivalent thereof, having at least two carboxylic groups situated so as to permit formation of a cyclic imide having 5 or 6 atoms in said cyclic structure; with an aliphatic primary amine or alcohol, containing 6 to 60 carbon atoms.
