Abstract:
This invention relates to synthetic polyether thickeners and thickened aqueous systems containing them. The thickeners are unique because they can be used in aqueous systems at less than ten percent weight concentration which will flow in a Vickers 104(C) Vane pump at use temperatures. These properties make them particularly useful for thickening hydraulic fluids used in high pressure vane and gear pumps. The thickeners are prepared by reacting conventional polyether polyols with alpha-olefin epoxides having an average of 6 to 12 total carbon atoms to obtain products with specific epoxide-to-hydroxyl ratios.
Abstract:
In accordance with the instant invention, a water-based hydraulic fluid, having improved anti-wear and corrosion inhibition properties can be obtained by blending neodecanoic acid with a conventional water-based hydraulic fluid composition.
Abstract:
Lubricant and liquid fuel compositions containing a product made by reacting a borating agent with an ammoninated hydrocarbyl epoxide are provided. The invention also provides the product per se and a method of reducing fuel consumption in an internal combustion engine using fuel and lubricant compositions containing same.
Abstract:
A corrosion inhibited composition comprises an aqueous drilling, cutting, or polishing agent, an aqueous hydraulic fluid or an aqueous antifreeze compound; and an alkali metal salt, or an aliphatic amine salt of a mixture of 2- and 3-C.sub.6-12 -alkyladipic acids, the amount of this acid component being effective as a corrosion inhibitor.
Abstract:
Water soluble lubricant compositions comprising alkanolamine and organic acid are improved by employing a monocycloalkyl-1,2,3,6-cis tetrahydrophthalate or hexahydrophthalate; or a monoaralkyl-1,2,3,6-cis tetrahydrophthalate or hexahydrophthalate as the organic acid.
Abstract:
An improved method for preparing clay-based grease compositions is described whereby a clay containing pre-grease is prepared and a water separated from the clay-bearing pre-grease prior to the addition of an epoxide which is cured, e.g., simultaneously with the dehydration of the pre-grease. The grease compositions prepared in this manner show improved water resistance over those wherein the epoxide is added prior to separation of the water phase and the grease is also more responsive to the addition of conventional grease additives such as extreme pressure additives, anti-corrosion additives and anti-oxidants.

Abstract:
The invention provides a composition for application to a metal surface, the composition comprising an inorganic nitrite, a benzoate and a carbonate in aqueous solution. The composition may advantageously be used as a lubricant or coolant during metal working, for example temper rolling, and for protection of coil or sheet packs of steel against corrosion.
Abstract:
Disclosed are selected poly(oxyalkylated) hydrazines of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is selected from hydrogen, lower alkyl groups having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, phenyl and mixtures thereof; and the sum of w, x, y, and z is from about 4 to about 20. These compounds are shown to be effective corrosion inhibitors for hydraulic fluids.
