The invention relates to a grease composition having a base oil and a thickener that includes hydrophilic metal oxide particles and one or more esters which contain one or more unsaturated C—C bonds and/or at least one OH group. The hydrophilic metal oxide particles have a BET specific surface area of at least 10 m.sup.2/g and at least 80% of the hydrophilic metal oxide particles have a particle size in the range of from 5 nm to 900 μm. The amount of the thickener is in the range of from 0.1-40% by weight, based on the total weight of the grease composition. The invention further relates to methods for manufacturing the grease compositions, and the use of the grease compositions for lubricating bearings, gears and couplings.

The present disclosure relates to a synthetic vegetable oil and an environmental-friendly flame-retardant hydraulic oil composition including the same, and a preparation method thereof, and provides a method of preparing a glycerin-ester-based lubricating base oil through a catalyst-free and rinsing-free process, a glycerin-ester-based lubricating base oil that is a synthetic vegetable oil obtained by the method, and an environmental-friendly flame-retardant hydraulic oil composition that contains the glycerin-ester-based lubricating base oil and that is capable of reducing electricity consumption by 7 to 8% compared to mineral oil-based lubricating oils due to excellent flame retardancy (with self-extinguishing function) and lubricity.

A lubricant composition comprising an oil of lubricating viscosity and 0.01 to 5 percent by weight of a substantially sulfur-free alkyl phosphate amine salt, where at least 30 mole percent of the phosphorus atoms are in an alkyl pyrophosphate salt structure, exhibits good antiwear performance. In the phosphate amine salt, at least 80 mole percent of the alkyl groups are typically secondary alkyl groups of 3 to 12 carbon atoms.

Provided is a lubricating oil composition comprising a base oil (A) containing a polyalkylene glycol (A1) and a polyol ester (A2), a phosphorus-based rust inhibitor (B), and an antioxidant (C) containing an amine-based antioxidant (C1). The lubricating oil composition exhibits a strong effect for suppressing sludge sedimentation even when used for an extended period of time in a high-temperature environment, and has excellent demulsibility and rust preventive properties, and therefore, can be suitably used in turbomachinery, compressors, hydraulic equipment, and machine tools.
