This disclosure relates to cold cranking simulator viscosity (CCSV) boosting base stocks that allow flexibility for engine oil formulations to meet both high and low temperature viscosity requirements while maximizing fuel efficiency. The CCSV-boosting base stocks can include C28-C60 hydrocarbon materials, linear esters, tertiary amides, dialkyl carbonates, aromatic alcohols, and aromatic ethers. This disclosure also relates to lubricating oil formulations containing the CCSV-boosting base stocks, and a method for improving fuel efficiency in an engine by using as engine oil a lubricating oil formulation containing one or more of the CCSV-boosting base stocks.

A composition for a heat cycle system contains a working medium for heat cycle containing 1-chloro-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and a refrigerant oil.

The present disclosure provides, in part, a solvent compound for use as a slow evaporating replacement. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to volatile organic components (VOC)-exempt solvent compounds that may be used as a slow evaporating replacement that may, for example, be useful as a component or diluent in the production of paints and coatings, and other industrial products.

An oil in water lubricant fluid for use in steel cold rolling, comprising an oil in water emulsion having a particle size of 1 m or less, consisting of an oil phase and water, where the oil phase includes about 5 wt % to about 40 wt % of at least one polymeric surfactant, about 25 wt % to about 95 wt % base oil, about 0.2 wt % to about 10 wt % extreme pressure lubrication additives, and about 0.5 wt % to about 6 wt % other functional additives.

The present disclosure provides a dialkyl carbonate prepared from a methyl branched primary C.sub.16-C.sub.17 alcohol. The dialkyl carbonate is prepared by transesterifying a reactant dialkyl carbonate with the methyl branched primary C.sub.16-C.sub.17 alcohol under transesterification reaction conditions. The subsequently produced dialkyl carbonate may be used in various applications, including, but not limited to, in lubricating, cosmetic and textile products and applications.
