The present invention relates to a lubricant composition, and more particularly to a lubricant composition, which has superior oxidation stability and friction characteristics even under harsh conditions of high temperature and high pressure and is thus suitable for use in hydraulic oil. The lubricant composition of the present invention includes a base oil, a liquid olefin copolymer, a phosphorothioate compound, and phosphonium phosphate.

A hydraulic lubricating oil composition is provided which contains a synergistic mixture of three phosphorous antiwear components in order to provide good thermal stability and good demulsibility to the lubricating oil composition.

The invention provides a lubricating composition comprising a low viscosity base oil and a synergistic mixture of a functionalized ethylene-α-olefin copolymer, a poly(meth)acrylate polymer, and a metal-free anti-wear agent. The invention also provides a method of lubricating an internal combustion engine using such a lubricating composition.

Provided is a grease composition which is excellent in fire extinguishing performance without water and can suppress fuming, malodor, and liquefaction on burning and a method for producing the grease composition. A grease composition contains a base oil (A), a thickener (B), and a fire retardant (C), wherein the base oil (A) contains a base oil (A1) having a 40° C. kinematic viscosity of 300 mm.sup.2/s or more, a sulfur content of 20 ppm by mass or less, and an initial boiling point of 400° C. or higher, the fire retardant (C) is at least one of aluminum hydroxide (C1) and 1,3,5-triazine-1,3,5 (2H, 4H, 6H)-tris(ethanol) (C2), and a content of the fire retardant (C) is 1.0 to 12.0 mass % based on a total amount of the grease composition.

The passage of a container along a conveyor is lubricated by applying to the container or conveyor a mixture of a water-miscible silicone material and a water-miscible lubricant. The mixture can be applied in relatively low amounts, to provide thin, substantially non-dripping lubricating films. In contrast to dilute aqueous lubricants, the lubricants of the invention provide drier lubrication of the conveyors and containers, a cleaner conveyor line and reduced lubricant usage, thereby reducing waste, cleanup and disposal problems.

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 a metal-free basic detergent. The lubricating composition provides wear protection, deposit control, and improved acid control with reduced levels of metal-containing additives.

Provided is a lubricating oil composition for use in turbomachinery, compressors, hydraulic equipments, or machine tools, which contains a mineral oil (A) and a synthetic oil (B) containing a polyalkylene glycol (B1) and a polyol ester (B2), in which the content of the mineral oil (A) is 5 to 95% by mass based on the total amount of the lubricating oil composition, and which is used in turbomachinery, compressors, hydraulic equipments, or machine tools. The lubricating oil composition is excellent in oxidation stability, has a strong effect of preventing sludge precipitation and has excellent water separability even in use for a long period of time in high-temperature environments.

The passage of a container along a conveyor is lubricated by applying to the container or conveyor a lubricant composition comprising a water-miscible silicone material having a silicone emulsion wherein the silicone emulsion contains less than 500 ppm of a triethanolamine salts of alkyl benzene sulfonic acid compounds.
