Patents by Inventor Alain Bouffet

Alain Bouffet has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9334462
    Abstract: A lubricating composition includes one or more base oils, at least one dimercaptothiadiazole derivative, at least one ethylene and alpha-olefin copolymer and at least one amine thiophosphate. The composition can be used for lubricating transmissions such as gearboxes and axles, preferably the manual gearboxes of motor vehicles and enable a reduction in the fuel consumption of vehicles, in particular of motor vehicles, due to the combination of the ethylene and alpha-olefin copolymer, dimercaptothiadiazole derivative and amine thiophosphate which decreases the coefficient of friction of the lubricating composition.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20160010024
    Abstract: A lubricating composition includes at least one base oil, at least one compound including a dithiocarbamate group, at least one compound including a phosphite group and at least one compound including a dithiophosphate group. The lubricating composition simultaneously has good anti-wear and extreme-pressure properties, a low coefficient of friction and good anti-seizing properties. The lubricating composition can be used for lubricating transmissions such as gearboxes, axles, preferably the manual gearboxes of motor vehicles.

  • Patent number: 9120076
    Abstract: The subject of the disclosure concerns microcapsules including a core containing one or more alkali metal borates, optionally hydrated, dispersed in one or more lubricating base oils of mineral, synthetic or natural origin, and a polymer shell. Another subject of the disclosure is a lubricating oil including microcapsules. A further subject of the disclosure is the use of microcapsules according to the disclosure as anti-wear and/or extreme pressure additive for lubricant compositions. A further subject of the disclosure is a method for preparing microcapsules by interface polymerization.
