Abstract: Improved automatic transmission fluids (ATF's) and gear lubricant compositions comprising a low concentration of an oil-soluble transistion metal compound are provided. The transition metal compound ameliorates low temperature thickening in ATF's and high temperature thickening in gear lubricants.

Abstract: Aminoplast compositions are cured using a sulfur and phosphorus containing catalyst.

Abstract: A process for the recovery of alcohols and hydrogen sulfide from a thiophosphate containing mixture is disclosed.

Abstract: A lubricant mixture suitable for a manual transmission fluid comprising:(a) a boronated overbased alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt selected from the group consisting of sulfonates, phenates, oxylates, carboxylates and mixtures thereof;(b) a friction modifier selected from the group consisting of fatty phosphites, fatty acid amides, borated fatty epoxides, fatty amines, glycerol esters and their borated derivatives, borated alkoxylated fatty amines, sulfurized olefins and mixtures thereof;(c) and an oil of lubricating viscosity, wherein such lubricants have excellent static and dynamic frictional characteristics. The lubricant fluids are particularly useful in reducing double detent and clashing during manual transmission shifting.

Abstract: This invention describes phenothiazine derivatives which are N-substituted and which contain an additional sulfur molecule in the N substituent.

Abstract: The compositions described herein of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal containing composition with or without a hydrocarbon soluble dispersant which are combined with the reaction product of the carboxylic acid and a polyhydroxyalkanolamine. The resultant compositions are resistant to partition or separation when mixed with water.

Abstract: A composition comprising(A) the reaction product of(A)(1) one or more alpha-beta olefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid reagents containing 2 to about 20 carbon atoms exclusive of the carboxyl-based groups, with(A)(2) one or more olefin polymers of at least 30 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of homopolymers and/or interpolymers of mono-olefins of from 12 to 30 carbon atoms, and chlorinated or brominated analogs thereof; and(B) the reaction product of(B)(1) one or more alpha-beta olefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid reagents containing 2 to about 20 carbon atoms exclusive of the carboxyl-based groups, with(B)(2) one or more olefin polymers of at least 30 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of homopolymers and/or interpolymers of mono-1-olefins of from 2 to 8 carbon atoms and chlorinated or brominated analogs thereof.

Abstract: Nitrogen-containing phosphorus-free carboxylic acid derivatives made by reaction of an acylating agent with an alkanol tertiary monoamine are described. Typically the carboxylic acylating agent is an alkyl or alkenyl succinic anhydride containing about 20 to about 500 carbon atoms in the alkyl or alkenyl group. A typical amine is diethyl ethanol amine. These derivatives are useful in incorporating oil-soluble, water-insoluble functional additives, such as metal salts of acid phosphate and thiophosphate hydrocarbyl esters, into water-based functional fluids such as water-based hydraulic fluids.

Abstract: Lubricating oils containing at least one amino phenol of the general formula ##STR1## wherein R is a substantially saturated, hydrocarbon-based group of at least about 10 aliphatic carbon atoms, a, b and c are, for example, each 1, 2 or 3, and Ar is an aromatic moiety such as a benzene nucleus, naphthalene nucleus or linked benzene nuclei, are effective in lubricating two-cycle internal combustion engines. Typically such amino phenols for this use are formed by nitration and reduction of alkyl phenols having an alkyl or alkenyl group of at least about 50 carbon atoms.

Abstract: Combinations of certain hydroxy amines, particularly the "Ethomeens," and hydrocarbon-soluble carboxylic dispersants are useful as engine and carburetor detergents for normally liquid fuels. The preferred compositions are those in which the carboxylic dispersants are the reaction products of substituted succinic acids with polar compounds, especially with amines such as ethylene polyamines.

Abstract: Certain polyamines are useful carburetor dispersants for liquid fuel compositions. Among the suitable polyamines are diamines which may be prepared by the Mannich reaction of certain primary or secondary amines with an aldehyde such as formaldehyde and an aliphatic nitro compound such as 2-nitropropane, followed by reduction of the nitro group.
