Abstract: Lubricants which comprise, as an additive a salt of the reaction product of (i) glyoxylic acid or a hydrocarbyl substituted glyoxylic acid and (ii) a hydroxyaromatic compound, at least a portion of the molecules of which are alkyl-substituted, are useful for lubricating ceramic-containing engines, high temperature engines, and natural gas-fueled engines. Particularly useful additives are those in which the hydroxyaromatic compound is a dialkyl phenol containing a t-butyl group in an ortho position.

Abstract: A composition of an oil of lubricating viscosity, an antioxidant, an anti-nitration agent, and optionally a borated product of an epoxide or the reactive equivalent of an epoxide, provides a desirable lubricant for diesel or natural gas-fueled engines. The composition is substantially free from metals and preferably substantially free from phosphorus. The amount of the antioxidant the anti-initration agent are sufficient to reduce the amount of varnish formation in a natural gas engine.

Abstract: The Diels-Alder adduct of 2,3 and 6,7 poly(allocimene) and an activated olefin such as maleic anhydride serves to inhibit the corrosion of metals. The adduct or a derived polyamine reaction product in admixture with an oil such as a petroleum oil or grease is effective to inhibit rusting of ferrous metals.

Abstract: The Diels-Alder adduct of 2,3 and 6,7 poly(alloocimene) and an activated olefin such as maleic anhydride serves to inhibit the corrosion of metals. The adduct or a derived polyamine reaction product in admixture with an oil such as a petroleum oil or grease is effective to inhibit rusting of ferrous metals.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a method of reducing the amount of corrosion resulting in a petroleum process operation wherein N-methyl pyrrolidone is utilized as one of the components by adding an effective corrosion inhibiting amount of an ester additive formed from a polycarboxylic acid and glycol or glycerol, preferably a dimer acid of linoleic acid and diethylene glycol.

Abstract: An electrochemical technique and device for estimating absolute rates of metal degradation through evaluation of the stability of petroleum film at an interface such as a metal/petroleum phase/aqueous phase. Basically, there is provided a polarization cell comprising separate compartments for containing immiscible liquids. The liquids have different densities and in a typical test the first compartment contains a first phase of lighter density, such as petroleum, and the second, smaller compartment contains a second phase of relatively greater density, such as water. Electrodes are provided such that a metal rod (which is of the same metal as the component for which metal degradation information is desired) typically referred to as the "working" electrode is positioned relative to an "auxiliary" electrode and placed in contact sequentially with the petroleum phase and with the aqueous phase in order to simulate conditions occurring in field operations.
