Abstract: This invention discloses a lubricant suitable for use in percussion equipment. The lubricant comprises a base oil selected from the group consisting of Group I or Group II, blended in a synergistic amount with a gear oil package and a friction modifier. The lubricant exhibits superior wear and superior extreme pressure properties due to the synergistic effect of the gear oil package and the friction modifier. In a preferred embodiment, the gear oil package comprises a polyalkyl methacrylate polymer, and the friction modifier comprises a synthetic ester.

Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to methods of making application-specific finished lubricant compositions comprising bio-derived diester species. In some embodiments, bio-derived fatty acid moieties are reacted with Fischer-Tropsch/gas-to-liquids reaction products and/or by-products (e.g., gas-to-liquids-produced ?-olefins) to yield bio-derived diester species that can then be selectively blended with base oil and one or more additive species to yield an application-specific finished lubricant product having a biomass-derived component.

Abstract: A metalworking fluid composition comprising an isomerized base oil having consecutive numbers of carbon atoms and less than 10 wt % naphthenic carbon by n-d-M is provided. The metalworking fluid has reduced mist formation, low foaming tendency and excellent air release properties, and excellent wear properties.
