Abstract: Novel additive compositions are provided comprising the reaction product of a mixture of reactants comprising (A) an unsubstituted or aliphatic hydrocarbon based substituted succinic acylating agent and (B) an ether amine. Fuels and lubricants containing said novel additive compositions are also described.

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.

Abstract: Metal working operations, especially drawing, are facilitated by applying to the metal a composition which provides lubricity thereto, which melts at about 30.degree.-150.degree. C., and which comprises principally a polymer of a monoepoxide or monoepisulfide containing from about 8 to about 25 carbon atoms. The composition may be applied in liquid form and solidifies on cooling to ambient and normal storage temperatures. Prior to application, the composition is preferably heated to a temperature higher than its melting temperature for ease of flow and uniform dispersion thereof onto the metal.

Abstract: Compounds having the formula: ##STR1## wherein each R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 is a hydrocarbon-based radical; R.sup.3 is a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl, and substituted lower alkyl; each of X.sup.1, X.sup.2 and X.sup.3 is oxygen or sulfur; and a and b are each 0 or 1, are useful as lubricant additives and have insecticidal and pesticidal properties.

Abstract: Compositions useful as lubricants and functional fluids comprise an oleaginous liquid of lubricating viscosity, typically a mineral oil, and a sulfur-containing polyfunctional nitrile. The preferred nitriles are cyanoethylation products of mercaptans. They serve as seal swelling agents and/or demulsifiers.
