Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to magnetic recording systems having a spindle motor and, more particularly, to an optimized lubricant for bearings within the spindle motor. A lubricant used in a fluid dynamic bearing motor has an antioxidant additive and a charge control agent dissolved in a diester base oil. The charge control agent is chemically attached to the same diacid reactant used in the diester lubricant base oil, and is prepared through an esterification reaction. The charge control agent is then dissolved in the lubricant base oil. The charge control agent is soluble in the lubricant, and is resistant to free radical oxidation. The charge control agent effectively controls the charge of the lubricant by creating electron donor/acceptor sites in the lubricant, facilitating an independent electronic pathway through the lubricant.

Plasticizers of glycol ether-based cyclohexanoate esters and blends thereof with thermoplastic polymers, such as PVC, are disclosed.

Various embodiments disclosed relate to a lubricant. The lubricant includes a first non-amphiphilic triglyceride. The lubricant further includes a second non-amphiphilic triglyceride. The second non-amphiphilic triglyceride is different from the first non-amphiphilic triglyceride. The lubricant further includes a non-amphiphilic glycol ester.
