A lubricating composition including an oil of lubricating viscosity and a benzazepine compound. Methods of using such lubricating compositions are also disclosed.

Provided is a grease containing a base oil and a hydrophilic nanofiber, the hydrophilic nanofiber having a thickness (d) of 0.01 to 500 nm being dispersed therein. The grease is low in an environmental load and excellent in safety on the human body and also has an appropriate worked penetration and has a high dropping point, and therefore, it is also excellent in heat resistance.

A non-water-based tire lubricant includes a thickening agent and a thinning agent. The thickening agent may be a silicone grease, hydrotreated light petroleum distillates, or hydrogenated liquid rosin ester, and the thinning agent may be a blend of petroleum distillates and additives or a silicone liquid. The tire lubricant has a pliable consistency, is easier to apply and use than standard tire lubricants, allows the tire to seal at much lower pressures, and is not water-based so that nitrogen concentrations inside the tire are maintained at 100 percent.

The present invention describes a water based semi-synthetic metal working fluid comprising a base oil, an organic acid, emulsifiers, a concentrate additive, water and a microbial growth control agent which comprises an alky alcohol amine.

Provided herein are molecular sieve membranes for separating hydrocarbons of a lube feed stock into a permeate and a retentate based on molecular shape. The molecular sieve membranes comprise one or more layers of size-selective catalyst and a porous support comprising a plurality of diffusing gaps. Each layer of size-selective catalyst has a plurality of perpendicular membrane channels and a plurality of opening pores. The porous support is in fluidic communication with the plurality of opening pores to provide a fluidic pathway between the perpendicular membrane channels and the diffusing gaps. Also provided are processes for separating n-paraffins from other hydrocarbons in a lube feed stock using the present molecular sieve membranes.

The disclosed technology relates to compositions suitable for use as lubricants and lubricant additive compositions which comprise a 1,4-benzoxazine-derived antioxidant, wherein the antioxidant itself may also be described as a 1,4-benzoxazine compound, and optionally comprising other additives suitable for lubricants, such as an anti-wear agent, a detergent, or a dispersant.
