The present disclosure generally relates to alkylated aromatic compounds useful as basestocks and additives for high viscosity applications. In an embodiment is provided an alkylated aromatic compound. In another embodiment is provided a lubricant formulation that includes an alkylated aromatic compound. In another embodiment is provided a lubricant formulation that includes an alkylated aromatic compound, an additive, and optionally, a Group III basestock, Group IV basestock, Group V basestock, or a combination thereof, the Group V basestock being different than the alkylated aromatic compound. In another embodiment is provided a method of forming a lubricant formulation that includes introducing a mPAO, an aromatic compound, and an acid catalyst to a reactor under reactor conditions to form an alkylated aromatic compound; and introducing the alkylated aromatic compound to an additive to form a lubricant formulation.

A silicone composition having an electromagnetic wave absorbing property and thermal conductivity includes liquid silicone; a high-specific-gravity soft magnetic filler having a specific gravity of 4.5 or greater; an intermediate-specific-gravity thermally conductive filler having a specific gravity of 4.0 or less; and a non-liquid anti-thickening and anti-settling agent. Furthermore, a curable grease is a two-component curable grease including a combination of a base compound and a curing agent that are used by being mixed together when used, the curable grease being to be cured by mixing of the base compound with the curing agent. The base compound is a silicone composition of the present invention, in which the liquid silicone is an organopolysiloxane having a vinyl group at an end thereof. The curing agent is a silicone composition of the present invention, in which the liquid silicone is an organohydrogenpolysiloxane.

A water-based lubricating grease composition includes at least 40 wt % water; a salt-based thickener; a polymer-based thickener; and optionally, an inorganic solid-based thickener. A process for preparing the water-based lubricating grease composition may include blending a suitable amount of water with a salt-based thickener to provide a thickened water-based grease, wherein the salt-based thickener is obtained from contacting a base with a fat; and adding a polymer-based thickener to the thickened water-based grease.

A grease composition for heat fixing devices contains a base oil and polytetrafluoroethylene. The base oil contains a perfluoropolyether having at least one of the structures represented by formulas (I) and (II) in the molecule and has a kinematic viscosity v40 of 800 mm.sup.2/s to 2500 mm.sup.2/s at 40 C., and whose kinematic viscosity v200 at 200 C. is 1/50 or less of the kinematic viscosity v40. ##STR00001##
