Abstract:
Esters of hydroxy terminated mono-functional polyalkylene oxide derivatives and monofunctional perfluoropolyether carboxylic acids are novel compounds. They may be used to form emulsions and to modify droplet size in atomization.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a lubricating oil composition which has a major proportion of a biodegradable base fluid which is a blend of (a) at least one ester of isotridecyl alcohol and a mono-, di or polycarboxylic acid, and (b) at least one hydrocarbon oil which has no more than 10%w/w of aromatic hydrocarbons, the rest being aliphatic. The proportion of (a) in the blend is from 25-55%w/w. The biodegradability of the base fluid renders the composition more environmentally friendly.

Abstract:
A water based drilling fluid comprises : (a) an aqueous medium, (b) a polyalkylene glycol of general formula : wherein R is H or CH 3 , R 1 is H or an alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and n is a number in the range 4 to 200, and (c) a potassium salt. In the case of tetra- and higher molecular weight polyalkylene glycols, there is a synergistic clay-stablising effect between these compounds and the potassium salt.
