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.

Inside a sealed container (101) of a refrigerant compressor (100), lubricating oil (103) having a kinematic viscosity at 40 C. of 0.1 mm.sup.2/S to 5.1 mm.sup.2/S is stored, and an electric element (106) and a compression element (107) are accommodated. The compression element (107) is provided with, as a shaft part, a crankshaft (108) comprising a main shaft (109) and an eccentric shaft (110), and as bearing parts, a main bearing (114) that axially supports the main shaft (109) and an eccentric bearing (119) that axially supports the eccentric shaft (110). At least one surface of the main shaft (109) and the eccentric shaft (110) is subjected to a surface treatment, e.g., formation of an oxide film, having a hardness equal to or greater than that of a bearing part (the main bearing (114) or the eccentric bearing (119)). Satisfactory reliability in sliding parts can thereby be achieved even if lubricating oil having lower viscosity is used.

The invention is directed to a zinc-free lubricating composition for an internal combustion engine containing a phosphorus anti-wear agent, an ashless antioxidant, and an oxyalkylated phenol compound. The lubricating composition provides wear protection, deposit control, and improved acid control with reduced levels of metal-containing additives.

A gun oil composition adapted specifically for the needs and requirements of modern firearms. The gun oil composition improves lubricity and gun performance under normal and extreme heat and pressure, minimizes and largely prevents the build-up of carbon and debris fouling on metal and non-metal components of the firearm, and substantially reduces cleaning time, while providing increased protection against environmental components such as dust, dirt and rust. The gun oil composition can include a base oil having at least a high viscosity index, an oil having at least a medium viscosity index with a detergent additive, a low viscosity penetrating oil, and a sulfurized ester.
