Abstract: An improved lubricating grease composition is herein disclosed, which comprises a base oil and a thickening agent, wherein the base oil comprises 50 to 100% by weight of a carbonate ester compound represented by the following general formula (I): R1O—CO—OR2  (I) wherein R1 and R2 each independently represents a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched alkyl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, on the basis of the total weight of the base oil. The lubricating grease composition shows remarkably improved acoustic life and an improved frictional coefficient, as compared with those observed for conventional grease compositions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a refrigerator oil composition comprising at least one base oil selected from mineral oils and synthetic oils, and at least one polyoxyethylene-type nonionic surfactant. The composition has an excellent lubricating property, while specifically improving the lubricity between aluminium materials and steel materials. This is effective for preventing such materials from being seized and worn, and is suitable as a lubricating oil in refrigerators using hydrogen-containing Flon refrigerants, such as R134a, that do not cause environmental pollution.

Abstract: In pressing and molding a shadow mask or the like, press-molding oil containing alkyl carbonate shown in the following Chemical Formula as an active ingredient is coated on a press mold. After pressing and molding a metallic material with the press mold, the press-molding oil is washed and removed with warm water. Alternatively, the oil is dried or thermally decomposed. As a result, less than about 10 .mu.g/cm.sup.2 oil is left as residue on the product. ##STR1## where a and b are an integer from one to six; x and y are an integer from 0 to 30; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are an alkyl group, cycloalkyl group, alkylphenyl group, benzyl group or alkylbenzyl group having from one to thirty carbon atoms and straight or branched alkyl chains.

Abstract: This invention provides sulfur-containing carbonate reaction product additives which are useful as phosphorus-free antiwear additives in lubricating oils, particularly automatic transmission fluids.

Abstract: An ester oil which lacks complete miscibility with fluorohydrocarbons has its miscibility with fluorohydrocarbons refrigerants improved by blending it with a second ester oil composed of molecules corresponding to the formula ROOC--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 -[(ROOC)CHCH.sub.2 ].sub.m --C(COOR).sub.2 --[CH.sub.2 CH(COOR)].sub.n --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 COOR wherein the R's represent alkyl groups of 1-30 carbons, at least 10% of which are alkyl groups of 1-4 carbons; and each of m and n represents zero or a positive integer such that the sum of m and n in a molecule is 0-30.

Abstract: The present invention provides lubricant oil compositions comprising a polyalkylene glycol carbonate. The lubricant oil compositions are useful for industrial gear oil, automotive gear oil, and lubricant oil for refrigerators, rolling installations and fibers, which are excellent in lubricating properties and detergency. The present invention also relates to lubricant oil compositions which comprise a polyalkylene glycol polycarbonate having mutual solubility with an ozone layer-nondestructive Freon such as Freon R-134a, and which are accordingly especially suited for refrigerators using hydrogenated fluorocarbon as a refrigerant. A polyalkylene glycol carbonate according to the invention comprises a polyoxypropylene group in the molecular chain and an alkyl group and an alkyloxyalkylene group at the molecular terminals.
