Abstract:
A lubricant composition comprising (a) from 0.1 to 10 percent by weight of one or more polyalkylene glycols (PAG); and (2) one or more ester base oils selected from the group of natural esters, synthetic esters and combinations thereof; wherein the one or more PAG has a molecular weight in the range 1500 to 5000 g/mole, comprises from 10 to 40 percent by weight of units derived from ethylene oxide and from 90 to 60 percent by weight of units derived from propylene oxide; and wherein the one or more PAGs are in the form of block copolymer, reverse block copolymer or combinations thereof is provided. Also provided is a method of enhancing the hydrolytic stability of an ester base oil.
Abstract:
A poly(alpha-olefin/alkylene glycol) copolymer of the following formula: wherein R3, R4, Ra, and Rb are, independently, any of H, a C1 to C18 normal or branched alkyl radical, or a C1 to C18 aromatic radical or aromatic-containing alkyl radicals; wherein n and m, are, independently, integers from 1 to 1000; and wherein x is an integer from 0 to 10. There is also a process for making the copolymer. There is also a lubricant formulation having the copolymer.
Abstract:
This invention describes a new refrigerant/lubricant combination for use in stationary and mobile refrigeration and air conditioning applications. In these applications, the refrigerant and lubricant must be soluble in each other (e.g., miscible) to ensure adequate lubricant circulation from the compressor, through the condenser, expansion device, and evaporator, and back to the compressor. Insufficient lubricant circulation will result in compressor failure. Low temperature solubility is particularly important to ensure lubricant flow through the cold evaporator. In addition, the lubricant and refrigerant combination should be stable in the presence of steel, and aluminum and copper containing metals. This invention describes the combination of refrigerant difluoroethane (e.g. R-152a) and polar, oxygenated lubricants, particular polyalkylene glycols (PAGs) and polyolesters (POEs) which may be used as a replacement for R-134a.

Abstract:
The invention is a high molecular weight polyether polyol prepared by the reaction of one or more compounds having one or more active hydrogen compounds with one or more alkylene oxides in the presence of a catalyst comprising calcium having counterions of carbonate and a C6-10 alkanoate in a solvent or dispersant which does not contain active hydrogen atoms. The polyether polyol prepared preferably has an equivalent weight of from about 1000 to about 20,000, a polydispersity of 1.3 or less and a residual catalyst level of from about 0 to about 2000 parts per million (ppm). In another embodiment the invention is a process for preparing such high molecular weight polyether polyols. The process comprises first, contacting one or more compounds having one or more active hydrogen atoms with one or more alkylene oxides in the presence of a catalyst. The catalyst comprises calcium having counterions of carbonate and a C6-10 alkanoate in a solvent, wherein the solvent does not contain active hydrogen atoms. The mixture is exposed to conditions at which the alkylene oxides react with the compound containing more than one active hydrogen atoms such that a polyether polyol is prepared which has an equivalent weight of from about 1,000 to about 20,000, a polydispersity of about 1.3 or less and a residual catalyst level of from about 0 to about 1000 (ppm).
