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.

An oil composition comprising a first component having pendant groups and a second component but free of a third component and process for making such oil composition, where a single molecule of the third component can form large shearable stable complex structure with two molecules of the first component via van der Waals force between pendant groups and the terminal carbon chains, and a single molecule of the second component is capable of adjoining no more than one molecule of the first type. The oil composition has high shear stability making it suitable for use in lubricants subject to repeated high shear stress events.

An auxiliary lubricant comprising a composition, the comprising intermediate molecular weight surfactant-functionalized nanoparticles dispersed in a base oil.

Provided herein are isoparaffins derived from hydrocarbon terpenes such as myrcene, ocimene and farnesene, and methods for making the same. In certain variations, the isoparaffins have utility as lubricant base stocks.

Compositions have a high content of saturated or unsaturated isoparaffinic hydrocarbons with 12-24 carbon atoms and a polyalkyl (meth)acrylate. A method prepares said compositions to promote the raise of the flash point of hydraulic fluids where a good low temperature flow is important, e.g. compressor oils, shock absorber fluids, power steering fluids, and central hydraulic fluids.

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 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.

Provided are a water-soluble metalworking oil agent (cutting oil agent or grinding oil agent) and a metalworking liquid, each of which has excellent cutting machining performance or grinding machining performance of aluminum or aluminum alloys, hardly causes rotting deterioration, and has excellent emulsion dispersion stability and stability of undiluted liquid, by containing specified components (A) to (E) as essential components without containing a machinability-improving agent with a high environmental load, such as chlorine, sulfur, and phosphorus. Provided is also a metalworking method using the same.

A grease composition includes a base oil, a thickener and at least one kind of an antioxidant selected from an amine-based antioxidant and a phenol-based antioxidant expressed by the following respective general formulas (1) and 2: ##STR00001##
The base oil contains a poly--olefin and a mineral oil. A mass ratio of poly--olefin/mineral oil is 1.25 to 9.

An automotive lubricant base oil formulation contains a base oil, preferably a hydrocarbon base oil, having a kinematic viscosity of 100 centiStokes or less at 40 degrees Celsius and an ailcyl capped oil soluble polymer where the alkyl capped oil soluble polymer has the structure of Formula 0): where R.sup.1 is an alkyl having from one to thirty carbons, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are independently selected from alkyl groups having three or four carbons and can be in block form or randomly combined, R.sup.4 is an alkyl having from one to 18 carbon atoms, n and m are independently numbers ranging from zero to 20 provided that n+m is greater than zero and p is a number within a range of one to three and a kinematic viscosity of 100 centiStokes or less at 40 degrees Celsius is useful in a lubricant for mechanical devices.
