A synthetic lubricant, cleaner and preservative composition and related methods for weapons and weapon systems, comprising: at least one isomer solvent; Alox 2100 calcium sulfonate; and at least one base oil selected from the base oil group consisting of: group I base oils; group II base oils; and group III base oils. Optional ingredients comprise mineral spirits, alpha-olefins, synthetic calcium sulfonates, fluoro-additives, and common moellen degras.

The invention is the use, in an electric vehicle, of a fluid 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% by weight isoparaffins and less than 3% by weight of naphthens, a biocarbon content of at least 95% by weight, containing less than 100 ppm by weight aromatics.

The present invention relates to compositions for use in refrigeration, air-conditioning, and heat pump systems wherein the composition comprises a fluoroolefin and at least one other component. The compositions of the present invention are useful in processes for producing cooling or heat, as heat transfer fluids, foam blowing agents, aerosol propellants, and fire suppression and fire extinguishing agents.

The present invention describes a method to produce high purity hydrocarbon materials and the high purity hydrocarbon materials produced from renewable sources. The produced materials are chemically similar and of equal or higher purity to from highly refined mineral oils and/or synthetic hydrocarbons. These renewable hydrocarbon materials can be used as a replacement for mineral and synthetic hydrocarbon base oils, process fluids, white oils in products such as lubricants, rubber, personal care, pharma.

Provided herein are olefinic feedstocks derived from conjugated hydrocarbon terpenes (e.g., C.sub.10-C.sub.30 terpenes), methods for making the same, and methods for their use.

A low viscosity oil has more than 50% by weight of 9-methylnonadecane. A lubricating composition has this low viscosity oil as base oil and, optionally, another base oil or an additive. The low viscosity oil has a kinematic viscosity at 100 C., measured by the ASTM D445 standard, of 0.5 to 2.5 mm.sup.2s.sup.1. The low viscosity oil can be prepared using a metallocene catalyst, and the low viscosity oil can be used as high performance lubricant for lubrication in the field of motors, hydraulic fluids and gears, in particular bridges and transmissions.

Disclosed are lubricant compositions prepared with Group III base stocks comprising greater than or equal to about 90 wt. % saturated hydrocarbons (saturates); a viscosity index from 120 to 145; a unique ratio of molecules with multi-ring naphthenes to single ring naphthenes (2R+N/1RN); and a unique ratio of branched carbons to straight chain (BC/SC) carbons; a unique ratio of branched carbons to terminal carbons (BC/TC); and unique MRV behavior as a function of base stock naphthene ratio (2R+N/1RN).

The present invention relates to compositions for use in refrigeration, air-conditioning, and heat pump systems wherein the composition comprises a fluoroolefin and at least one other component. The compositions of the present invention are useful in processes for producing cooling or heat, as heat transfer fluids, foam blowing agents, aerosol propellants, and fire suppression and fire extinguishing agents.

The present disclosure provide for coatings, coated structures, methods of coating, methods of coating a structure, and the like. In an aspect, the coating is a tribocatalytically-active coating, where the tribocatalytically-active coating interacts with the hydrocarbon environment forming a protective carbon-based tribofilm on the surface of the coating, which can be actively formed (reformed) during use of the coated structure within the hydrocarbon environment.

Provided herein are olefinic feedstocks derived from conjugated hydrocarbon terpenes (e.g., C.sub.10-C.sub.30 terpenes), methods for making the same, and methods for their use.
