A synthetic and semi-synthetic fire-resistant hydraulic fluid compositions are disclosed. According to one preferred embodiment, the composition may include water, a hydrophilic co-solvent, an oil, a lubricant, a neutralizing agent, a non-ionic surfactant, an anionic surfactant. Optionally, the compositions may further include a corrosion inhibitor, an anti-foaming agent and a biocide.

The invention relates to a method for producing lubricating compositions, oily corrosion-inhibiting industrial degreasers for oils and fuels, which are not degradable in the presence of oxygen, water, high temperatures and via contamination with particles, based on distilled and double-distilled fatty acids, a ternary compound, halogenated compounds, organic polymers, alcohols and mineral oil.

A lubricant base oil composed of an ester. The ester includes a component (A) derived from trimethylolpropane in a molar percentage A.sub.mol % of 25 to 42 mol %; components (B) derived from monovalent straight-chain saturated fatty acids each having a carbon number of 8 to 12 in a molar percentage B.sub.mol % of 33 to 55 mol %: and a component (C) derived from adipic acid in a molar ratio C.sub.mol % of 12 to 34 mol %. The components (B) include lauric acid in a molar percentage of 5 to 50 mol %, and (B.sub.COOH+C.sub.COOH)/A.sub.OH is 0.90 to 1.02. A.sub.OH represents a hydroxyl equivalent of the component (A), B.sub.COOH represents a carboxyl group equivalent of the components (B); and C.sub.COOH represents a carboxyl group equivalent of the component (C).

A trunk piston marine engine lubricant comprises in respective minor amounts (A) an overbased metal hydrocarbyl-substituted hydroxybenzoate detergent system, and (B) a hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic acid anhydride, preferably made by halogen- or radical-assisted fractionalization processes, where the ratio of succinic anhydride to hydrocarbyl chains is in the range of 1.4 to 4. The lubricant, when used to lubricate such an engine fuelled by heavy fuel oil, exhibits improved control of asphaltene precipitation and deposition on engine surfaces.
