  • Turbine Oil Comprising An Ester Component
    Publication number: 20140228263
    Abstract: Provided is a turbine oil formulation comprised of a base oil selected from the group consisting of Group II, III and IV base oils and mixtures thereof, and an ester component comprised of at least one diester or triester species having ester links on adjacent carbons. The formulation exhibits less than 6 mg of sludge/100 ml of turbine oil, and is imminently suitable for use as a turbine oil.

  • INDUSTRIAL OIL COMPRISING A BIO-DERIVED ESTER
    Publication number: 20130085091
    Abstract: An industrial oil composition comprises a major amount of an ester base oil comprised of at least one diester or triester species having a vicinal diester substituent and at least one additive. The use of such esters can provide biodegradable industrial oils having improved viscosity index, additive solvency, or both.

  • APPLICATION-SPECIFIC FINISHED LUBRICANT COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING A BIO-DERIVED ESTER COMPONENT AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME
    Publication number: 20120028863
    Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to methods of making application-specific finished lubricant compositions comprising bio-derived diester species. In some embodiments, bio-derived fatty acid moieties are reacted with Fischer-Tropsch/gas-to-liquids reaction products and/or by-products (e.g., gas-to-liquids-produced ?-olefins) to yield bio-derived diester species that can then be selectively blended with base oil and one or more additive species to yield an application-specific finished lubricant product having a biomass-derived component.
