The present invention relates to a sulphur-containing polyester capable of being obtained by a process comprising esterification reactions between a polyol and a carboxylic acid and a thiolactic acid, or by a process comprising an esterification reaction between a partially esterified polyol and a thiolactic acid. It also concerns its use as a multiproperty additive, and compositions comprising it.

A highly wear-resistant plant genetic lubricant oil additive, a preparation method and an application thereof are disclosed. The additive includes 90-97% of a plant base oil and 3-10% of an aerogel. The plant base oil is prepared from a mixed plant oil of soybean oil, rapeseed oil, sesame oil, peanut oil, olive oil, castor seed oil, salad oil, sunflower seed oil and tung oil. The highly wear-resistant plant genetic lubricant oil additive is added to various lubricant oils for being used to devices, and a colloidal substance is generated after the devices are driven and heat is generated, so that the lubricant oils are firmly adhered to the surface of components. The lubricant oil additive not only has characteristics of high abrasion resistance, high and low temperature resistance, and oxidation resistance, but also the used lubricant oil can be regenerated and recycled after being recovered and filtered.

The disclosure describes a method of purifying a self-healing fluid (SHF) comprising a drying oil and dielectric fluid. The method comprises (a) filtering the SHF through an absorbent material; and (b) subsequently filtering the SHF through a micropore filter system.

A lubricating oil composition comprises an amide and at least one additive. A lubricating grease composition comprises a liquid amide, a thickener comprising a metal soap, and at least one additive. The amide in each composition is the reaction product of a secondary, branched amine and a carboxylic acid. The carboxylic acid may be a monocarboxylic acid or a dicarboxylic acid, including dimer acid. The amide is hydrolytically stable, and may be used to increase the hydrolytic stability of the lubricant oil or grease composition. Alternatively, the amide may be used to increase the additive solubility or detergency of the lubricant oil or grease composition.

The present disclosure provides a method of producing a lubricant composition comprising the steps of hydrolyzing a starting material to provide a hydrolyzed product mixture, reacting the hydrolyzed product mixture under conditions capable of producing a condensation product mixture, contacting the condensation product mixture with a cyclic compound to provide a coupled product mixture, and hydrogenating the coupled product mixture to provide the lubricant composition. In addition, other methods and compositions thereof are also provided.

The present invention relates to a device for electrically processing a fatty substance of plant origin, comprising a series of electrodes (1 and 2) and an enclosure (4), said device being characterised in that the enclosure (4) is provided with at least one electrical connector (5) placed on the outer surface (40) of the enclosure (4), a series of electrical connections for connecting each electrode of said series of electrodes to said electrical connector (5), with the current flow distances of the electrical connections being equal in relation to each other, and a first inlet (6) and a first outlet (7) for the fatty substance, and in that said device comprises a filter (12) having an inlet (13) in fluidic connection with said first fatty-substance outlet (7) of the enclosure (4) and an output (14) in fluidic connection with said first fatty-substance inlet (6) of the enclosure (4).

The invention discloses synergistic combinations of surfactant blends and cleaning compositions employing the same. In certain embodiments a surfactant system is disclosed which includes an extended anionic surfactant with novel linker surfactants including one or more of an alkyl glycerol ether, an ethoxylated alkyl glycerol ether, an alcohol ethoxylate and/or a Gemini surfactant. This system forms emulsions with, and can remove greasy and oily stains, even those comprised of non-trans fats. The compositions may be used alone, as a pre-spotter or other pre-treatment or as a part of a soft surface or hard surface cleaning composition.

A dielectric fluid is provided comprising an oil and one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of phosphite compounds. It has been discovered that addition of one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of phosphite compounds to dielectric fluids comprising oil impart a stabilizing effect that reduces, inhibits or prevents formation of stray gases in the dielectric fluid during ordinary use.
