  • Patent number: 5674819
    Abstract: This invention relates to compositions which are useful as additives in lubricants and fuels, and more particularly, to additives which are chlorine-free or contain only minor amounts of chlorine. More particularly, carboxylic compositions are described which are prepared by reacting a terpolymer derived from a mixture of monomers comprising ethylene, an alpha-olefin containing 3 to about 20 carbon atoms, and a non-conjugated polyene with an alpha,beta-monounsaturated dicarboxylic acid or reactive derivative thereof. These carboxylic compositions may be used in lubricating oil or fuel compositions or may be used to form carboxylic derivative compositions which are useful in lubricating oil and fuel compositions.

  • Patent number: 5328620
    Abstract: This invention provides an oil additive composition which may be used as an additive for both diesel engine lubricants and transmission lubricants. Additives useful in diesel engine lubricants often do not meet the requirements of specific transmission lubricant specifications. Surprisingly, the inventive composition, which comprises a combination of a neutral or basic alkali metal salt of a phenol sulfurized using elemental sulfur, a metal salt of a dithiophosphoric acid, an ashless dispersant, a calcium or magnesium sulfonate detergent, and a manganese carboxylate, may be used to create lubricants for both engine and transmission use.

  • Patent number: 4194886
    Abstract: Condensation products made by reacting an alpha-haloalkyl hydroxy-aromatic compound also having at least one non-fused hydrocarbyl substituent with at least one olefinic nitrile, carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid derivative are useful as additives for fuels and lubricants. The number of carbon atoms in the aromatic hydrocarbyl compound's substituents are each about 25 while the haloalkyl group contains from one to about 36 carbons. The acid or nitrile reactant usually contains three to about forty carbons. Products made from halomethyl alkyl-substituted phenols and .alpha.,.beta.-olefinic diacid derivatives such as maleic anhydride are particularly useful. Similarly useful products can be made from these condensation products by further reacting their acid, acid derivative or nitrile groups with alcohols, polyols, monoamines, polyamines, metal salts or metals.
