Disclosed is a cutting oil composition, which is vastly superior in view of layer separation, dispersibility, viscosity, ingot-cleaning time after sawing, and wafer warpage after sawing, compared to conventional cutting oil compositions, and which includes mineral oil that is highly hydrogenated, as represented by Chemical Formulas 1 to 3, bentonite clay as a thickener, and glycerol trioleate as a dispersant. A cutting method using the cutting oil composition is also provided.

A method for producing a renewable base oil from a feedstock of biological origin includes providing a feedstock, the feedstock including: 2-95 wt % of a mixture of free fatty acids; 5-98 wt % fatty acid glycerols selected from mono-glycerides, di-glycerides and tri-glycerides of fatty acids; 0-50 wt % of one or more compounds selected from the list consisting of: fatty acid esters of the non-glycerol type, fatty amides and fatty alcohols; a major part of the feedstock being a mixture of free fatty acids and fatty acid glycerols; subjecting all or part of the feedstock to ketonisation reaction conditions where two free fatty acids react to yield a ketone stream, and subjecting the ketone stream to both hydrodeoxygenation and to hydroisomerisation reaction conditions, to yield a deoxygenated and isomerised base oil product stream containing the renewable base oil.

Hydrotreatment of biological oil is disclosed for producing renewable base oil and a diesel oil from low value biological oils. Low value biological oils containing free fatty acids and fatty acid esters can be processed into a renewable base oil and a renewable diesel oil in an efficient manner by first separating at least part of the free fatty acids from the feedstock and then processing separately this free acid feed in a ketonisation reaction followed by hydrodeoxygenation and hydroisomerisation reactions to yield a renewable base oil stream. The remaining free fatty acid depleted feed is processed in a separate hydrodeoxygenation and hydroisomerisation step to yield a renewable diesel stream.

A C.sub.31 renewable base oil is disclosed that is suitable as a base oil to provide low viscosity base oils, such as having both low Noack volatility and low CCS-30 C. viscosity and/or to provide low viscosity base oils at the same time having a combination of acceptable HTHS and KV100 to allow the industry's base oil blenders to formulate high quality engine oils, such as SAE grade 0W-20, 0W-16, 0W-12 or 0W-8.

Provided is a method for improving oxidation resistance and deposit resistance of a lubricating oil for use in lubricating a mechanical component. The method includes the step of providing the lubricating oil to the mechanical component and measuring the improved oxidation and deposit resistance. The lubricating oil includes a lubricating oil base stock at from 0 to 80 wt %, at least one branched isoparaffin having a mole % of epsilon carbon as measured by C.sub.13 NMR of less than or equal to 10% at from 20 to 80 wt %, at least one viscosity modifier at from 5 to 20 wt %, and one or more other lubricating oil additives. The oxidation resistance in the CEC L-109 oxidation resistance test is improved to greater than 310 hours to achieve a 100% viscosity increase and the deposit resistance in the TEOST 33C is improve to total deposits of less than 45 mg as compared to oxidation resistance and deposit resistance achieved using a lubricating oil not containing the at least one branched isoparaffin.

Glue Grease, has been designed and made as a lubricant to be used in moving mechanical parts in difficult environmental conditions as an anti-abrasion material in order to increase the longevity of parts prone to friction.

The invention is a fluid having a kinematic viscosity from 3 to 6 mm.sup.2/s, a flash point of higher than 120 C. and a pour point lower than 40 C., having a boiling point in the range of from 200 C. to 400 C. and a boiling range below 80 C., said fluid comprising more than 95% isoparaffins and less than 3% of naphthens by weight, a biocarbon content of at least 95% by weight, containing less than 100 ppm aromatics by weight. The invention is also a drilling fluid and the use of the fluid to improve the viscosity of the drilling fluid.

The present disclosure relates to a driveline for an electric or hybrid-electric vehicle including an electric motor with an insulated magnet wire and a lubricating and cooling fluid configured to maintain the durability of the magnet wire.
