Abstract: There is disclosed a refrigerating machine oil composition which comprises a base oil such as polyglycol, polyvinyl ether or the like which base oil is blended with an epoxy compound represented by the general formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as defined in the text of the present specification or with at least one epoxy compound selected from the group consisting of D-limonene oxide, L-limonene oxide, .alpha.-pinene oxide and L-carvone oxide. The composition is excellent in stability, sludge preventive properties, copper-plating preventive properties, etc. and is particularly effective for use in an automobile air conditioner, a room air conditioner, a refrigerator, etc., thereby making itself extremely valuable from the viewpoint of industrial utilization.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a working fluid composition for a refrigerating machine which contains difluoromethane and a refrigeration oil. An ester formed between (a) an aliphatic polyhydric alcohol having a carbon number of 2 to 12; and (b) a saturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acid having a carbon number of 4 to 9 or a derivative thereof, the ratio of the number of acyl groups having a branched chain or branched chains to the number of the entire acyl groups in the ester being not less than 95%, is used as a base oil of the refrigeration oil. The working fluid composition for refrigerating machine of the present invention is excellent not only in compatibility, lubricity, and electric insulating property but also in thermal stability as compared to the conventional products.

Abstract: Trichlorofluoromethane refrigeration systems use mineral oil to lubricate the compressor. We have found that the use of 1,1-dichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane and mineral oil results in the formation of 1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane; in the absence of mineral oil, the use of 1,1-dichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane does not result in the formation of 1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane. We have found an additive which substantially reduces the formation of 1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane. Thus, the present invention provides a composition comprising: (a) 1,1-dichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane, (b) hydrogen-contributing lubricant: and (c) a composition comprising: (i) at least one phenol and (ii) at least one aromatic or fluorinated alkyl epoxide wherein the composition (c) substantially reduces the decomposition of 1,1-dichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane.

Abstract: A method for bleaching a cloth comprising subjecting a cloth soaked with an aqueous bleaching solution comprising sodium chlorite to wet heat treatment at a temperature nearly to 100.degree. C., particularly subjecting a long cloth soaked with the bleaching solution to wet heat treatment continuously in an ordinary pressure wet heat treating chamber of which atmosphere being acidified to a pH of 3-4 by the use of an activation agent for making the atmosphere containing sodium chlorite acidic comprising an inorganic acid such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, an organic acid such as formic acid and acetic acid, and a carbonyl compound such as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde so as to form chlorine dioxide active for the bleaching of a cloth by the decomposition of sodium chlorite, and apparatuses for carrying out the method.

Abstract: Compositions of high lubrication and light coloration are disclosed in which a selected class of resins and rubbers is blended with a specified cured polybutadiene product. The cured product results from crosslinking more than 10% of vinyl bonds in a butadiene polymer having a vinyl bond content of not less 20% by mol in terms of its monomer unit. Also disclosed are solid lubricants comprising a specified fluorinated cured polybutadiene and compositions containing the solid lubricant.

Abstract: An additive composition comprising a graft and derivatized copolymer prepared from ethylene and at least one C.sub.3 -C.sub.10 alpha-monoolefin and, optionally, a polyene selected from non-conjugated dienes and trienes comprising from about 15 to 80 mole percent of ethylene, from about 20 to 85 mole percent of said C.sub.3 -C.sub.10 alpha-monoolefin and from about 0 to 15 mole percent of said polyene having an average molecular weight ranging from about 5,000 to 500,000, which has been reacted with at least one olefinic carboxylic acid acylating agent to form one or more acylating reaction intermediates characterized by having a carboxylic acid acylating function within their structure and reacting said reaction intermediate with an amino alkylthio thiadiazole to form said graft derivatized copolymer, and a lubricating oil composition containing same are provided.

Abstract: Compositions consisting essentially of calcium hypochlorite and a water soluble zinc salt, the compositions containing from about 40 percent to about 99 percent by weight of calcium hypochlorite, provide controlled release of the components for continuous and effective sanitation and algae control to waters treated for use in swimming pools and spas.
