Abstract:
The cloud point of a hydrodewaxed base stock is reduced by direct sulfurization of the base stock, or by direct sulfurization of the base stock in the presence of a magnesium, calcium or barium compound.
Abstract:
Dry powdered wire drawing lubricant compositions are disclosed for the most severe drafting conditions in which mixtures of polymers of Poly (3,5-dithio-1,2,4-thiadiazole) and Poly (2,5-dithio-1,3,4-thiadiazole) act synergistically with molybdenum disulfide as extreme pressure additives. The polymers of Poly(3,5-dithio-1,2,4-thiadiazole) and Poly(2,5-dithio-1,3,4-thiadiazole) can also be used as the sole extreme pressure additive in the wire drawing lubricants.
Abstract:
A stabilized lubricating oil resistant to oxidation and sludge formation upon exposure to an oxidative environment is prepared without forming undesirable color bodies therein by the steps (1) contacting the lubricating oil stock with a small amount of added elemental sulfur of from about 0.05 to about 1.0 percent by weight at a contact temperature of from about 25.degree. C. to about 130.degree. C. and (2) contacting the product of step (1) with hydrogen in the presence of alumina impregnated with at least about 10 weight percent MoO.sub.3 and at least about 2.5 weight percent CoO to remove any unreacted added elemental sulfur therefrom. The impregnated alumina catalyst of step (2) must have at least 50 percent of the pores with a pore diameter of 50 Angstrom Units or more.
Abstract:
THIS SPECIFICATION DISCLOSES INHIBITION OF FOAMING IN A LIQUID SYSTEM CONTAINING WATER AND A HYDROCARBON. INHIBITION IS EFFECTED BY THE PRESENCE IN THE SYSTEM OF PARTICLES OF A SOLID, INSOLUBLE MATERIAL. THESE PARTICLES HAVE A SURFACE AREA OF LESS THAN 50 SQUARE METERS PER GRAM AND A PORTION OF THEIR SURFACES IS OCCUPIED BY POLAR SITES. REPRESENTATIVE SOLID MATERIALS ARE POLY-2,6-DIMETHYL-1,4-PHENYLENE OXIDE, A COPOLYMER OF 2,6-DIMETHYL PHENOL AND 2METHYL-1,6-TETRADECYL PHENOL WHEREIN THE PROPORTION OF THE LATTER COMPOUND DOES NOT EXCEED ABOUT 20 PERCENT BY WEIGHT OF THE COPOLYMER, A COPOLYMER OF VINYL STEARATE AND MALEIC ANHYDRIDE, SUBLIMED SULFUR, SILICON CARBIDE, AND POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE COMMINUTED UNDER CRYOGENIC CONDITIONS.

Abstract:
An article, particularly containing aluminium, having at least two relatively movable surfaces, has between the surfaces a film of lubricant comprising a mono ethylenically unsaturated compound of the formula where n is 0 or 1; R is hydrogen or fluorine, R1 is hydrogen, fluorine, methyl or mono-, di-, or tri-fluoromethyl, X is -O-, -S-, and R11 is a linear C10+ alkyl or fluoro alkyl radical. A long list of suitable unsaturated compounds is given. They can be used in emulsion from and can be mixed with mineral oils, diester, polyester, silicone and silicate ester oils. Thickeners, e.g. lithium stearate and hydroxystearate, can be added to form greases. Other thickeners are silica gel, carbon black, diatomaceous earth, graphite molybdenum and tin sulphides, and zinc, tin, lead, copper, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal soaps of fatty acids. Specifications 988,061 and 988,063 are referred to.
