  • Process for making shock absorber fluid
    Patent number: 8058214
    Abstract: A process to make a shock absorber fluid having improved performance properties, the properties including an air release after 1 minute by DIN 51381 of less than 0.8 vol %, a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. less than 5 mm2/s and an aniline point greater than or equal to 95° C., or meeting the specifications for Kayaba 0304-050-0002 or VW TL 731 class A. The shock absorber fluid is made by blending a base oil having less than 10 wt % naphthenic carbon and a high viscosity index with low levels of (or no) viscosity index improver and pour point depressant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 28, 2007
    Date of Patent: November 15, 2011
    Assignee: Chevron U.S.A. Inc.
    Inventors: Chantal R. Swartele, John M. Rosenbaum, Marc J. De Weerdt, Thomas Plaetinck, Stephen J. Miller, Mark L. Sztenderowicz
  • Functional fluid compositions
    Patent number: 8022024
    Abstract: A functional fluid comprising a base oil with a high viscosity index, wherein the functional fluid has a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. between 2.5 and 5.0 mm2/s, a low Brookfield viscosity, a high aniline point, and excellent air release. Shock absorber fluids with improved performance, comprising a particular base oil, wherein the improved performance includes high viscosity index, low Brookfield viscosity, high aniline point, excellent air release and high flash point.
