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-1,4PHENYLENE OXIDE, A COPOLYMER OF 2,6-DIMETHYL PHENOL AND 2-METHYL-1,6-TETRADECYL PHENOL WHEREIN THE PORTION 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:
The stability and cleanliness of lubricating oils under severe thermal and oxidative conditions are improved and the electrical conductivity of hydrocarbon fuels is increased by adding thereto a copolymer of cetyl vinyl ether and N-vinyl-pyrrolidone.
Abstract:
IMPROVED ANTICORROSION AGENTS FOR LUBRICATING OILS AND FUELS SUCH AS GASOLINE CONSISTING OF A MIXTURE OF (1) CARBOXYLIC ACIDS CONTAINING 10 TO 60 CARBON ATOMS PER MOLECULE, OR ESTERS OR ANHYDRIDES OF SUCH ACIDS AND (2) ESTERS OF ALKOXYLATED PHENOL-ALDEHYDE RESINS.
Abstract:
LUBRICANT COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING AS AN ADDITIVE A LINEAR ALKYL SUBSTITUTED POLYPHENYLENE POLYMER. THE PHENYLENE GROUPS MAY BE CONNECTED DIRECTLY TOGETHER OR SEPARATED BY HYDROCARBYL OR HETR ATOMS E.G., POLYPHENYLENE ETHERS.
Abstract:
Fluid solutions, e.g. mineral oil solutions, of polydispersed polymers have improved resistance to mechanical shear when said polymers have a narrow molecular weight distribution, i.e. ##EQU1## 10 and/or a reduced compliance less than that of a linear monodisperse polymer of the same chemical repeat unit and M.sub.w and preferably said solution at a concentration such that [.eta.] c ranges from one-tenth to five where [.eta.] is the intrinsic viscosity of the polymer in the oil and c is the concentration in the same units and/or has a compliance no larger than twenty times the value exhibited by an identical solution except that said polymer was replaced by a linear monodisperse polymer of the same chemical structure and of the same (.+-.5%) weight average molecular weight (M.sub.w).
Abstract:
Compounds of the general formula I, and mixtures thereof, ##STR1## in which R is linear alkyl having 12 to 24 C atoms, branched alkyl having 8 to 30 C atoms or alkylated phenyl or phenylalkyl having 8 to 24 C atoms, X is an oxygen or sulphur atom, n is a value from 0.5 to 8 or an integer from 1 to 8 and R.sup.1 is a hydrogen atom or a radical of the formula ##STR2## in which m is 0 or integers from 1 to 3, are excellent extreme-pressure additives in lubricants.
Abstract:
Lubricating oil additives having both dispersant and viscosity index-improving properties are prepared by reacting a selectively hydrogenated star-shaped polymer having at least four arms of polymers or copolymers of dienes and monoalkenyl arenes with an alpha-beta unsaturated carboxylic acid or derivative, and then reacting the resulting intermediate with an alkane polyol.
Abstract:
A water-in-oil emulsion finding use as a stable functional fluid comprises about 19 to about 50 weight percent water, about 80 to about 49 weight percent mineral oil and a small amount of a hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic acid mono ester of a polyoxyethylene mono-ol. The mono-ol has an average molecular weight of about 200-1,000 and the hydrocarbyl substituent is from about 750 to about 2,000 average molecular weight.
