Abstract: A lubricant composition for a compression-ignition internal combustion engine includes an amine and a detergent selected from metal sulfonates, phenates, salicylates, carboxylates, thiophosphonates, and combinations thereof. The lubricant composition has a TBN of from about 10 to about 100 mg KOH/g when tested according to ASTM D2896. The amine contributes from about 0.1 to about 28% of the TBN of the lubricant composition. Further, a method of lubricating an internal combustion engine with the lubricant composition includes the steps of injecting a fuel and the lubricant composition into a cylinder to form a mixture, and combusting the mixture via compression-ignition.

Abstract: Lubricant compositions comprising a base oil, one or more antioxidants selected from a group consisting of N-?-naphthyl-N-phenylamine antioxidants and diphenylamine antioxidants; and a sulfur-containing additive comprising up to seven carbon atoms exhibit outstanding oxidative stability and non-corrosion properties. The N-?-naphthyl-N-phenylamine antioxidants plus diphenylamine antioxidants in total may be present from about 0.2 wt % to about 0.8 wt %, based on the total weight of the lubricant composition. The sulfur provided by the sulfur-containing additive may be present from about 50 ppm to about 1000 ppm by weight, based on the total weight of the lubricant composition.

Abstract: A lubricant composition includes a base oil and one or more alkylethercarboxylic acid corrosion inhibitor(s) having the formula; In this formula, R is a straight or branched chain C6-C18 alkyl group and n is a number of from 0 to 5. The lubricant composition can be utilized in a method for reducing corrosion of a steel article. The method includes the steps of providing the base oil and providing the one or more alkylethercarboxylic acid corrosion inhibitor(s). The method also includes the step of combining the base oil and the one or more alkylethercarboxylic acid corrosion inhibitor(s) to form the lubricant composition including less than about 0.1 weight percent of the one or more alkylethercarboxylic acid corrosion inhibitor(s). The method further includes the step of applying the lubricant composition to the steel article wherein the steel article passes corrosion testing according to ASTM D 665 B.

Abstract: The instant invention provides a lubricant composition having improved four-ball antiwear properties. The lubricant composition includes a base oil and one or more alkylethercarboxylic acid corrosion inhibitor(s) having the formula: wherein R is a straight or branched chain C6-C18 alkyl group and n is a number of from 0 to 5. The lubricant composition also includes an ashless antiwear additive including phosphorous. The four-ball antiwear properties are reported as an average diameter of wear scars pursuant to ASTM D4172. The average diameter of the wear scars resulting from the lubricant composition are at least 5% smaller than the average diameter of the wear scars resulting from a standard that includes the base oil and the antiwear additive and that is free of the one or more alkylethercarboxylic acid corrosion inhibitor(s).

Abstract: The invention is directed to an antimicrobial metal composite formed by vaporizing an antimicrobial metal or antimicrobial metal salt such as silver, copper or salts thereof using an plasma system and cooling the formed vapor in the presence of a fluidized gas of filler powder. Alternatively, the filler or a filler precursor is entrained with the antimicrobial metal or antimicrobial metal precursor and vaporized and then upon cooling the antimicrobial metal vapor and filler vapor condense to form the composite. The composite shows high antimicrobial activity and can be incorporated into or onto polymers, coatings, textiles, paper, gels (for example for wound care), lubricants, adhesives and cosmetics or pharmaceutical, especially medical devices.
