Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of antioxidants in Fischer Tropsch derived products. The antioxidants of the present invention are preferably temporary antioxidants that may be removed after the period in which oxidation is expected by techniques such as simple distillation. The temporary antioxidants of the present invention are typically sulfur-containing compounds generated from sweetening light hydrocarbon streams.
Abstract:
A fluid for traction drives for automobiles which comprises (A) a hydrocarbon compound having two bridged rings selected from bicyclonull2.2.1nullheptane ring, bicyclonull3.2.1nulloctane ring, bicyclonull3.3.0nulloctane ring and bicyclonull2.2.2nulloctane ring and (B) a hydrocarbon compound having at least one structure selected from quaternary carbon atom and ring structures and having a kinematic viscosity at 40null C. of 10 mm2/s or smaller, and has a viscosity at null40null C. of 40,000 Panulls or smaller and a flash point of 140null C. or higher, is provided. This fluid exhibits a great traction coefficient at high temperatures and very small viscosity at low temperatures. A fluid for traction drives which comprises a specific bicyclonull2,2,1nullheptane derivative having 14 to 17 carbon atoms and having a viscosity index of 0 or greater is also provided. This fluid exhibits improved viscosity-temperature characteristics, decreased viscosity and improved fluidity at low temperatures.
Abstract:
A continuously variable transmission fluid comprises a hydrogenated cyclic dimer of null-alkyl styrene and a low temperature viscosity control agent. The fluid does not contain more than 20 wt. % of a linear dimer of the null-alkyl styrene, and the fluid has a kinematic viscosity of greater than about 2.5null10null6 m2/s at 100null C., as measured according to ASTM D-445. The dimerized null-alkyl styrene can be made by (a) contacting an null-alkyl styrene with a supported acid catalyst to effect oligomerization of the null-alkyl styrene to a cyclic dimer; and (b) hydrogenating the cyclic dimer in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst to produce a fully hydrogenated cyclic dimer, wherein the null-alkyl styrene is contacted with the supported acid catalyst in the absence of a solvent for the null-alkyl styrene and a free acid.
Abstract:
The present invention includes a traction fluid that includes an alkyl bridged dimer of bicycloheptane. Methods of using alkyl bridged dimers of bicycloheptane in traction fluids are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Novel oil-in-oil emulsions and methods of lubrication using the same are provided. The lubricants are stable emulsions of carrier fluid and high viscosity fluid that display superior properties related to lubricating film thickness and reduced shear strength.
Abstract:
Hydrocarbon fluids are provided which have ASTM D-86 boiling point ranges within 235null C. to 400null C. and a naphthenic content greater than 60%, the naphthenics containing polycyclic materials, the fluids preferably have an aromatic content below 2% and an aniline point below 100null C. The fluids are particularly useful solvents for printing inks, drilling fluids, metal working fluids and as silicone extenders.
Abstract:
The present invention relates blended hydrocarbonaceous products comprising Fischer Tropsch derived products that resist oxidation and to methods of inhibiting oxidation in Fischer Tropsch products. The present invention also relates to Fischer Tropsch products containing an effective amount of a petroleum-derived hydrocarbonaceous product such that the Fischer Tropsch product resists oxidation.
