The present disclosure relates to polysiloxanes, processes for preparing polysiloxanes, and hydraulic fluids comprising polysiloxanes. This disclosure also relates to hydraulic fluids comprising one or more polysiloxane compounds and diphosphonate compounds, and to the use of diphosphonate compounds in hydraulic fluids or as additives or components in various compositions, for example to provide fire retardant properties to a fluid or composition. This disclosure also relates to use of the compositions as hydraulic fluids, which may be used in various machines, vehicles and craft, including aircraft.

The engine lubricating system can become contaminated with carbon deposits and sludge. Sludge is where the combustion by-products that have entered the oil base saturate this oil base, thus forming a thick carbon rich substance. Sludge is not wanted within the engine. Sludge and or carbon deposits in the motor oil cause problems. Such carbon deposits form in the motor oil from heat, pressure, and namely combustion gases that have leaked pasted the piston rings. Turpentine and terpenes, hereafter referred to as terpenes, have shown that these chemicals can breakdown carbon which has been deposited within the engine's oil base.

A production method for a complex polyester composition includes obtaining a complex polyester composition by condensing polyhydric alcohol having three or more hydroxyl groups, a polycarboxylic acid having at least two carboxyl groups and carbon atoms of greater than or equal to 5, and monohydric alcohol having at least one oxyalkylene group in the absence of a solvent, wherein a component having a weight average molecular weight of less than or equal to 2000 in a GPC chart of the complex polyester composition is less than or equal to 43 area %.

The present invention relates to a tricresyl phosphate-free oil which can be used as lubricant or hydraulic oil. The oil is distinguished by extremely low human toxicity. In particular, the oil is suitable as turbine oil, i.e. as lubricant oil in aircraft turbines, with which, in the case of a fume event, symptoms of the aerotoxic syndrome in aircraft passengers can be prevented. In addition, the present invention relates to the corresponding use of the turbine oil according to the invention for the prophylaxis of the aerotoxic syndrome in the case of a fume event. In addition, the invention describes a turbine which contains a corresponding turbine oil as lubricant. Furthermore, the method for operating a turbine is indicated.

The present invention relates to a lubricating composition comprising an oil of lubricating viscosity and a (thio)phosphate salt of an amine-functionalized esterified copolymer, wherein the esterified copolymer comprises units derived from monomers: (i) an -olefin and (ii) an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or derivatives thereof, that are esterified with an alcohol, or mixtures thereof, and wherein at least a portion of carboxylic acid groups not esterified react with an amine. The invention further provides for a lubricating composition containing said copolymer. The invention further provides a method and use of lubricating composition in a mechanical device.

The invention relates to industrial gear oil compositions that have been specially designed to have improved storage stability and/or paint compatibility and/or seal compatibility. This improvement is achieved while maintaining good performance in other areas. These improvements are particularly relevant to synthetic lubricants, such as those made with polyalphaolefin (PAO) base oils. This balance of properties has been difficult to achieve in synthetic compositions where problems in the areas of storage stability, paint compatibility and/or seal compatibility of become more pronounced. The invention also relates to processes of making such compositions and methods of using the same.

The present invention relates to functional fluid compositions containing antioxidants, and specifically stable compositions containing antioxidants with limited solubility in and/or limited compatibility with the functional fluids with which they are used. In particular the present invention deals with functional fluids used in internal combustion engines, such as engine oils, and antioxidants containing a phenolic or benzoic group, where the antioxidant is present in the functional fluid composition at levels that would otherwise cause the composition to be unstable and/or hazy.

The present disclosure relates to methods, systems, hydraulic fluids and additives for reducing the rate of surface current degradation for components in a hydraulic system, wherein the hydraulic system is exposed to phosphate-ester-based hydraulic fluid.

Provided are a lubricant composition in which low friction and low abrasion are compatible in various temperatures and loads, and a manufacturing method of a lubricant composition. A lubricant composition of the present invention contains at least trivalent or more polyol a1; a mixture b1 of at least one of a polymerization reaction mixture of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 to 22 carbon atoms which contains at least 75 mass % of a divalent carboxylic acid having 36 to 44 carbon atoms or a mixture obtained by performing hydrogenation with respect to the polymerization reaction mixture; and composite ester A containing polyester in which monool c1 represented by General Formula (1) described below is condensed, in which a feed ratio of the number of moles of a hydroxyl group of a1/the number of moles of a carboxylic acid of b1/the number of moles of a hydroxyl group of c1 is 1/1.5 to 2.0/0.7 to 1.5, and a content of the composite ester A is 0.1 to 5 mass % with respect to the total mass of the lubricant composition.

ROHGeneral Formula (1):
