A composition that includes one or more compounds represented by the formula
R.sub.1OR.sub.2
wherein R.sub.1 is a substituted or unsubstituted aryl or polyaryl group having from about 4 to about 40 carbon atoms, and R.sub.2 is a substituted or unsubstituted, linear or branched, alkyl group having from about 4 to about 40 carbon atoms. The composition has a viscosity (Kv.sub.100) from about 1 to about 10 cSt at 100 C. as determined by ASTM D-445, a viscosity index (VI) from about 100 to about 300 as determined by ASTM D-2270, and a Noack volatility of no greater than 50 percent as determined by ASTM D-5800. The disclosure also relates to a process for producing the composition, a lubricating oil base stock and lubricating oil containing the composition, and a method of reducing boundary friction and improving dispersancy of polar additives of a lubricating oil by using as the lubricating oil a formulated oil containing the composition.

R.sub.1OR.sub.2
wherein R.sub.1 is a substituted or unsubstituted aryl or polyaryl group having from about 4 to about 40 carbon atoms, and R.sub.2 is the residue of a substituted or unsubstituted glycol ether having from about 4 to about 40 carbon atoms. The composition has a viscosity (Kv.sub.100) from about 1 to about 10 cSt at 100 C. as determined by ASTM D-445, a viscosity index (VI) from about 100 to about 300 as determined by ASTM D-2270, and a Noack volatility of no greater than 50 percent as determined by ASTM D-5800. The disclosure also relates to a process for producing the composition, a lubricating oil base stock and lubricating oil containing the composition, and a method for improving one or more of oxidative stability, solubility and dispersancy of polar additives of a lubricating oil by using as the lubricating oil a formulated oil containing the composition.

The present invention describes the highly advantageous properties of a mixture of thiol-perfluoropolyether (PFPE) molecules with perfluorinated bisphosphonic (PF-BP) compounds. This mixture makes it possible in effect to obtain a lipophobic behavior (also referred to as epilame effect) with common watch-making lubricants on all the materials tested, including metals, inter alia gold and alloys thereof, ceramics and semiconductors, and gives the surface treated a good resistance to ageing and to cleaning products.
