Abstract: An additive for improving the antioxidation properties of lubricating oil is made by reacting a sulfur halide selected from sulfur monochloride or sulfur dichloride with an aliphatic monoolefin (e.g. isobutene) to form an adduct, reacting the adduct thus formed with an alkali metal salt of an organocarbamodithioic acid in an aqueous alkanol medium and recovering the reaction product.When added to lubricating oil, the additive products of the invention improve the antioxidation properties of the lubricating oil.

Abstract: Sulfurized olefins are produced by reacting sulfur monochloride with a monoolefin (e.g. isobutene) in the presence of minor amounts of an active Lewis acid (e.g. ferric chloride) to form an adduct, reacting the adduct with sulfur and sodium sulfide in an aqueous alkanol made at a ratio of 0.02-0.4 gram atom of sulfur per gram mole of sodium sulfide and then recovering the reaction product. Olefin polysulfides obtained by this method are soluble in both mineral and synthetic lubricating oils (including those of the polyalphaolefin type) and are usable as extreme pressure additives when incorporated into such lubricating oils.

Abstract: An asphaltic composition of enhanced utility for vehicular pavement is described. It comprises a road paving grade of asphalt in admixture with a small amount of an alkylene dithiocarbamate such as methylene bis(dibutyldithiocarbamate) characterized by having a reduced increase in absolute viscosity to original absolute viscosity after thin film aging as measured by ASTM Test D 1754 at 140.degree. F. Such compositions exhibit enhanced resistance to oxidative degradation of the type normally experienced by road paving grades of asphalt.
