    Inventors: William Sullivan, Shi-Ming Wu, Ellen Brandes
  • Additive system for lubricants
    Publication number: 20060229214
    Abstract: The invention relates to compositions suitable as additive packages for lubricants and other functional fluids, the composition comprising sulfur-containing extreme pressure components, phosphorus-containing anti-wear additives, a triazole-containing species. A preferred use is in industrial gear oils. In embodiments, enhance protection in the areas of bearing wear and micropitting are obtained.

  • Fluids for enhanced gear protection
    Publication number: 20060223720
    Abstract: The invention relates to lubricants which contain a phosphorus to nitrogen ratio of ?1.0 and a sulfur content of >1.4 wt. %. The phosphorus contribution is primarily from an acid phosphate species and the sulfur content is primarily from an antiwear agent. This lubricant composition has been found to provide exceptional protection to new gears or “green gears”, during the break-in phase.
