One or more embodiments presently described are directed to lubricants and methods for making such lubricants. According to one embodiment, a lubricant suitable for use in a water-based drilling fluid may comprise one or more alkyl esters and a fatty acid blend comprising one or more medium-chain fatty acids. The one or more medium-chain fatty acids may be at least 50 weight percent (wt. %) of the fatty acid blend. The weight ratio of the one or more alkyl esters to the fatty acid blend may be from 1:1 to 3:1.

A universal additive for fuel and lubricants contains C2-C4 alcohols, carbamide, boric acid, acrylic compounds, and water. The additive allows for more complete combustion of liquid and solid fuels, as well as reduced fuel consumption and fewer harmful emissions. In lubricating oil compositions, the additive reduces wear on the friction surfaces of engines, and also reduces fuel consumption.

This invention relates to overbased calcium sulfonate complex grease compositions prepared without boric acid and alcohol promotors containing anti-wear, anti-friction, thermal & oxidation stability additives.

A lubricant composition includes a base lubricant and a plurality of lubricant additive molecules functioning as precursor molecules to induce tribopolymerization and forming in situ protective tribofilm with desirable robustness and low shear resistance. Each lubricant additive molecule includes one or more surface-active groups attractable to target surface, and a carbon containing component operable connected to the one or more surface active groups. The carbon containing component comprise a carbon ring structure having a high ring strain that is metastable and activatable with a ring-opening reaction. A less stable carbon ring structure is more readily activated to the intermediate state, preferable to form more active fragments. Increasing the adsorption strength further is beneficial to prolonging the residence time of additive molecules on the target surface, thereby facilitating the dissociation of molecules and subsequent polymerization.

A composition for lubricating and/or descaling in the hot processing of metals includes a solid mixture containing the following constituents: (a) 20 to 60% by weight of condensed alkali phosphate, (b) 10 to 40% by weight boron compound selected from borosilicate glass, boric acid, boric acid salt, or a mixture thereof, (c) 10 to 30% by weight alkali or alkaline earth sulphates, (d) 5 to 25% by weight fatty acid, fatty acid salt, or a mixture thereof. The sum of the constituents (a) and (b) constitutes at least 50% by weight of the mixture and the sum of the constituents (a) to (d) constitutes at least 85% by weight of the mixture.

Provided is a an additive or composition for imparting lubricity which has high lubricity, is excellent in low-corrosion property, low-temperature fluidity, thermal conductivity, thermal stability, and oxidative stability, and has high flashing point. The lubricant according to the present invention is an additive or composition, wherein the following components (A) an amine or an ammonium compound; and (B) an acid or a salt thereof, have been added therein, wherein at least one of the components (A) and (B) contains a hydrogen-bonding functional group.

The present invention relates to a belt lubricant concentrate comprising 15% by weight to 30% by weight of at least one monocarboxylic acid, 10% by weight to 25% by weight of at least one N-alkyl-1,3-propanediamine, 5% by weight to 15% by weight of at least one nonionic surfactant and water up to 100% by weight.

Lubricant composition, in particular a cooling lubricant solution, based on ionic and/or organoelemental compounds.
