The present disclosure relates to polysiloxanes, processes for preparing polysiloxanes, and hydraulic fluids comprising polysiloxanes. This disclosure also relates to hydraulic fluids comprising one or more polysiloxane compounds and diphosphonate compounds, and to the use of diphosphonate compounds in hydraulic fluids or as additives or components in various compositions, for example to provide fire retardant properties to a fluid or composition. This disclosure also relates to use of the compositions as hydraulic fluids, which may be used in various machines, vehicles and craft, including aircraft.

To provide a surface treatment agent capable of imparting excellent water/oil repellency, fingerprint stain removability, abrasion resistance and lubricity to the surface of a substrate.

A surface treatment agent for a substrate, comprising a perfluoropolyether group-containing phosphate compound, a coating agent comprising the surface treatment agent and a liquid medium, and a substrate having a surface layer formed from the surface treatment agent or the coating agent.

A surface treatment agent for a substrate, comprising a perfluoropolyether group-containing phosphate compound, a coating agent comprising the surface treatment agent and a liquid medium, and a substrate having a surface layer formed from the surface treatment agent or the coating agent.

A functional fluid composition containing a fluid base stock (e.g., a phosphate ester fluid base stock) as a major component, and an erosion inhibitor mixture as a minor component. The erosion inhibitor mixture contains at least a first erosion inhibitor (e.g., a perhalometallate or perhalometalloidate salt) and a second erosion inhibitor (e.g., an alkali metal salt of perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acid). Erosion inhibition of the functional fluid composition is improved as compared to erosion inhibition achieved using singly the first erosion inhibitor or the second erosion inhibitor, as measured by one or more of ASTM D2624, ASTM D974, ASTM D130 and ASTM D6304. A method for operating and lubricating a hydraulic system by utilizing as a hydraulic fluid, the functional fluid composition. A method for identifying erosion inhibition effectiveness of the functional fluid. The functional fluids are useful as aircraft hydraulic fluids.
