  • Increasing viscosity storage stabiity of Mannich base dispersant/VI-improvers
    Patent number: 4963277
    Abstract: A method is described for improving the viscosity storage stability of a Mannich base condensation product of an oxidized polyolefin, formaldehyde, and an amine. This method involves contacting such Mannich base condensation product with a lower alkyl peroxide, a lower alkyl hydroperoxide or an aryl(lower)alkyl hydroperoxide at a temperature of about 250.degree. F. to about 400.degree. F. for a time period sufficient to provide an oxidized product.

  • Polyborate esters and their use in lubricants
    Patent number: 4519926
    Abstract: Polyborate ester compositions are prepared by reacting ortho-boric acid with at least one alcohol or phenol in a substantially inert organic liquid, which is immiscible with water and has a boiling point in the range from about 80.degree. to about 300.degree. C. at standard pressure, and by continuously removing the water which is produced by the reaction.
