  • Patent number: 5739089
    Abstract: A mixed zinc/copper dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphate, e.g. of zinc diethyl-hexyl dithiophosphate and cuprous diethyl-hexyl dithiophosphate, is prepared by reacting a dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphoric acid (DDPA) with a mixture of a basic zinc compound eg ZnO, and a basic copper compound eg Cu.sub.2 O, preferably in the presence of a promoter, eg zinc acetate. The product is a good antioxidant for use in lubricating oils.

  • Patent number: 5698498
    Abstract: This invention relates to a lubricating composition comprising a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity and (A) a minor amount of at least one hydroxyalkyl dithiocarbamate or at least one borate thereof, wherein the dithiocarbamate is derived from an amine other than an alkyl or alkenylsuccinimide. In another aspect the invention relates to a lubricating composition comprising a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity, a hydroxyalkyl dithiocarbamate or a borate thereof, and (B) at least one sulfur compound or (C) at least one phosphorus or boron antiwear or extreme pressure agent. The invention also relates to greases, functional fluids and aqueous fluids containing the hydroxyalkyl dithiocarbamates and borates thereof. The lubricants and fluids have improved antiwear and extreme pressure properties including providing improved antiscuff protection.
