A solid lubricant 11 is formed by molding and firing powder that includes amorphous and self-sintering carbon material powder 12, graphite powder 13, and a binder 14. The solid lubricant has high material strength and hardness, and also excellent impact resistance and wear resistance.

A heat treatment oil composition is provided that suppresses the decrease of luster in a heat treatment of a metal material, and is capable of suppressing the increase of the number of second (characteristic number of second) until reaching the temperature where the vapor blanket stage ends with the lapse of time and the decrease of the kinetic viscosity with the lapse of time. The heat treatment oil composition contains (A) a base oil and (B) a vapor blanket breaking agent selected from one or more of a petroleum resin, a terpene resin, rosin, and derivatives thereof.

The present disclosure provides a lubricating oil composition which has a viscosity much lower than that of a conventional lubricating oil composition, and which is excellent in metal fatigue life, wear resistance and electrical insulating properties. The lubricating oil composition according to the present disclosure comprises: (A) a lubricating base oil; and (B) from 0.6 to 4.0% by weight, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition, of a polydiene having a number average molecular weight of from 500 to 3,000 and containing a functional group on at least one end thereof. The above described lubricating oil composition does not comprise a viscosity index improver, and has a kinematic viscosity at 100 C. of not less than 1 and less than 5 mm.sup.2/s.

The invention is directed to a method for reducing low speed pre-ignition events in a spark-ignited direct injection internal combustion engine by supplying to the sump a lubricant composition which contains an oil of lubricating viscosity and an overbased sodium detergent. The metal overbased detergent may be selected from sulfonate detergents, phenate detergents, and salicylate detergents, including sulfonate detergents with a metal ratio of at least 5.

The presently disclosed subject matter Is directed to formulations for lubricating a conveyor belt used in beverage packaging. One of the disclosed lubricant compositions comprises water, at least one amphoteric surfactant, at least one anionic surfactant and at least one non-ionic surfactant. Also disclosed is a system for applying a lubricant to a conveyor belt and a method for lubricating a conveyor belt.

Methods of making antidegradant compounds are disclosed in which a p-phenylenediamine is reacted with a dicarbonyl to thereby obtain a diimine, which is reduced to obtain mixtures comprising the antidegradant compound.

A fluid contains a base oil consisting of an alcohol-initiated polyalkylene glycol where polyalkylene glycol component is selected from a homopolymer of 1,2-butylene oxide and copolymer of 1,2-butylene oxide and propylene oxide; a glycerol-initiated unsaturated ester that is free of tertiary carbon atoms and quaternary carbon atoms; and an antioxidant.

Provided herein is a lubricant including a compound of Formula I
L-(CF.sub.2CF.sub.2O).sub.nCF.sub.2CH.sub.2ONOCH.sub.2CF.sub.2O(CF.sub.2CF.sub.2O).sub.m-M(Formula I) wherein L is selected from the group consisting of ##STR00001## M is selected from the group consisting of ##STR00002## wherein each instance of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 is independently selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, alkoxyl, carbocycyl, phenyl, heterocycyl, piperonyl, carboxyl, alkylamido, acetamido, carbamoyl, N-alkylcarbamoyl, N,N-dialkylcarbamoyl, 2,3-dihydroxy-1-propoxyl, acryloyl, alkacryloyl, methacryloyl, a sustituent of methyl methacrylate, and a substituent of glycidyl ether; and wherein n1, m1, and n and m are the same or different.

A method for preventing or reducing low speed pre-ignition in an engine lubricated with a lubricating oil while maintaining or improving cleanliness by using as the lubricating oil a formulated oil. The formulated oil has a composition including a lubricating oil base stock as a major component, and at least one boron-containing compound and at least one overbased calcium detergent as minor components. The at least one boron-containing compound includes at least one borated dispersant, or a mixture of a boron-containing compound and a non-borated dispersant. The boron to nitrogen ratio for the at least one boron-containing compound is less than or equal to about 0.3 and the lubricating oil is essentially free of elemental magnesium. The lubricating oils of this disclosure are particularly advantageous as passenger vehicle engine oil (PVEO) products.
