Abstract: Non-aqueous pigment concentrate comprising one or more pigments, one or more dispersants, and at least one resin, characterized in that the resin is a polyester comprising at least one oligo-ester building block with a hydrophobic tail linked thereto, wherein the hydrophobic tail is selected from the group consisting of: (a) branched hydrocarbons, (b) hydrocarbons containing a cyclic group, and (c) linear hydrocarbons, provided that when said linear hydrocarbon is linked to the oligo-ester building block via an ester group, the linear hydrocarbon contains 3 to 12 carbon atoms.

Abstract: A copolymer suitable for the use in or as a lubricant, which copolymer includes an ?-olefin and a di-ester of an ?,? ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid. More particularly, a high molecular weight lubricating oil base fluid or additive includes a copolymer of ?-olefins with chain lengths, for example from 12 to 18 carbon atoms, and a di-ester of an ?,? ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid, with a C3-C7 alkylic alcohol, for example n-butanol, as an esterifying component, which is compatible with other low polar lubricating oil base fluids.
