Abstract:
This invention relates to hydrogenated diolefin-lower alkyl acrylate or methacrylate copolymers and the use of these copolymers to improve the viscosity index (VI) of lubricating oils. The preferred copolymer is a fully hydrogenated, high molecular weight copolymer of 1,3-butadiene and methyl methacrylate containing at least about 71 mole percent 1,3-butadiene. A pour point depressant, VI improving polymer additive for lubricating oils is provided by incorporating a higher alkyl methacrylate in the copolymer. Further, a dispersant VI improving copolymer for lubricating oils and a dispersant for hydrocarbon fuels prepared by graft polymerizing a polar, nitrogen-containing graft monomer onto the VI improver or pour point depressant VI improver is also provided.
Abstract:
Amides of unsaturated cyclic keto acids, useful as friction improvers in lubricating oils, may be prepared by reaction of an amine such as ethanolamine with an unsaturated cyclic keto acid.
Abstract:
A heavy duty lubricating composition for lubricating metal rubbing surfaces, such as journal bearings in rock bits, is provided that forms a solid as a result of increased temperature at the areas of highest shear rate or highest loading in the bearing. The solid reverts to its original state within the carrier fluid when passing into areas of lower temperature. The composition comprises a substantially uniform dispersion within a carrier fluid of a solid additive having decreasing solubility/dispersibility in the carrier fluid as temperature increases, an additive capable of forming with the carrier fluid viscous lubricating solutions in water, and an extreme pressure agent having a high temperature of activation with the bearing materials.
Abstract:
A lubricating oil composition comprising a major proportion of a lubricating oil, and an oil-soluble graft copolymer, said graft copolymer being prepared by grafting a small amount of a grafting monomer selected from saturated esters of unsaturated monocarboxylic acids, unsaturated esters of saturated carboxylic acids and unsaturated epoxy compounds to a trunk copolymer which is substantially free from an oxygen-containing functional group and a carbon-carbon double bond determined from its iodine value and has a number average molecular weight of about 5,000 to about 100,000, said trunk copolymer being selected from copolymers of alpha-olefins having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, copolymers of styrene and alpha-olefins having 2 to 20 carbon atoms and hydrogenated products of copolymers of styrene and diolefins. A process for preparation of said composition is also provided.
Abstract:
Lactone polyol ester reaction products of hydrocarbon substituted lactone carboxylic acid, with polyols such as pentaerythritol and their derivatives are useful additives in oleaginous compositions, such as varnish-inhibiting dispersants for lubricating oils, and fuels.
Abstract:
Lubricating oil compositions having substantially reduced pour points are prepared by incorporating an effective pour depressant amount of an oil-soluble copolymer of ethylene and a vinyl ester of a lower saturated monobasic aliphatic carboxylic acid in a paraffinic, waxy-type, residual lubricating oil base stock. The copolymers, in which the lower saturated monobasic carboxylic component of the ester has from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, have molecular weights of about 16,000 to about 31,000 and which contain about 17 to about 42 weight percent of the vinyl ester, can be added to the lubricating base stock in the form of an emulsion, as a hydrocarbon solution or in any other convenient manner.
Abstract:
Composition for forming lubricant coating, particularly useful in processes for working of sheet metals, comprising a resin capable of forming a layer adhering to the surface, and an oil for forming an upper layer to enhance the lubricating properties on top of and/or partially distributed within the resin layer; and a method of applying both layers of the coating to the metal surface simultaneously from a single aqueous dispersion or emulsion composition. The coating has been found to greatly increase the ability of the metal sheet to withstand severe fabrication processes, such as deep-drawing, without tearing or galling, compared with ordinary lubricating oils or greases.
Abstract:
Shear-resistant and cold-resistant synthetic lubricants consisting of a mixture of esters of branched-chain dicarboxylic acids of from 16 to 22 carbon atoms and aliphatic alcohols of less than 6 carbon atoms with polymers of butenes having a molecular weight of from 1,200 to 4,500, the ester portion being from 10 to 95% by weight and the polymer portion from 90 to 5% by weight.

Mist lubricant comprising: A. MINERAL OIL BASE B. A POLYSTYRENE, OR C. A POLYSTYRENE AND A POLYACRYLATE, OR D. A POLYSTYRENE AND A POLYBUTENE.
Abstract:
The basic fluid is water or an oil-water mixture. The primary weighting materials are dissolved salts, e.g., sodium chloride, calcium chloride or mixed brines, and in these the calcium or sodium ions inhibit hydration and swelling of drilled solids. When non-cationic fluids are used, an inhibitor is added to prevent such hydration and disintegration - an electrolyte or a cationic surfactant. Any viscosifier added is one having neither a structured viscosity nor gel strength, hydroxyethyl cellulose for example. When the drilling fluid is pumped to the surface, most of the drilled solids are in their original condition and size, and are readily removed and discarded by screening and other available physical means. There is none of the build-up of solids associated with older systems, and hence no need for discarding, thinning, and make-up.
