Abstract:
Provided is a composition comprising fatty acid bis-amide, inorganic particulate such as pumice, cellulosic particulate, thermoplastic and maleic anhydride grafted polyolefin. The combination of an ethylene bis-amide and a minor amount of pumice produces cellulosic-thermoplastic composite that has superior extrusion properties over conventional metal stearate/ethylene bis-stearamide (EBS) compositions such as improved flex strength and resistance to water absorption.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a composition comprising: (A) a lubricant or a hydrocarbon fuel; (B) at least one hydroxy carboxylic acid ester or hydroxy polycarboxylic acid ester having the generic formula defined herein; and (C) at least one phosphorus-containing additive.
Abstract:
A method for preventing and/or treating infection includes transitioning the temperature in a suspected area of infection based on an assessment of the existence and/or likelihood of infection in a localized area. Also, an apparatus for transitioning the temperature in a suspected area of infection, which includes a heat transfer element for transferring thermal energy to or from the suspected area of infection, and a thermal energy source for supplying thermal energy to the heat transfer element. The apparatus may also include one or more positioning elements and one or more temperature detecting elements. Activation of the apparatus may be manual or automated, and may rely on a feedback loop, or interaction with one or more external devices.
Abstract:
Fuels, especially hydrocarbon fuels, and lubricants, especially lubricating oils, contain a class of anti-corrosion, anti-wear, anti-fatigue, and extreme pressure additives that are derived from 1,3-dithiolane-2-thiones.
Abstract:
A composition is disclosed that comprises: (A) a lubricant, and (B) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of alcohols of the formulae: wherein Y is N, O, or S; R1, R2, R3, and R4 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, alkaryl, aryl, alkoxy, and alkyl ester; R5 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy, a carboxy alkyl group of the structure: (CH2)pCO2R9 where: p is from 1 to 18, and R9 is hydrocarbyl; R7 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, CH2OR11, alkyl, and alkenyl, wherein: said alkyl and alkenyl groups are optionally substituted with OH, oxirane, or X; R11 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl of from 1 to 36 carbon atoms, alkaryl of from 6 to about 50 carbon atoms, and aryl, and may contain ether or ester functionalities; X is of the structure: or R5 and R7 are fused together to form a ring of 3-10, preferably 5 or 6, carbon atoms, which may be further substituted with alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or alkoxy groups, and may contain ether or ester functionalities, and R6 and R8 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, aryl, and alkoxy.
Abstract:
Fuels, especially hydrocarbon fuels, and lubricants, especially lubricating oils, contain dithiocarbamyl β-hydroxy fatty acid esters, a class of anti-corrosion, anti-wear, anti-fatigue, and extreme pressure additives that are derived from epoxidized fatty acid esters. The additives exhibit synergistic anti-wear activity in combination with phosphorus containing additives.
Abstract:
Fuels, especially hydrocarbon fuels, and lubricants, especially lubricating oils, contain a class of anti-corrosion, anti-fatigue, and anti-wear additives that are derived epoxidized esters of fatty acids. Epoxidized 2-ethylhexyl tallate is particularly effective.
