Abstract: The invention relates to thickened fuctional fluids. The functional fluids can be used in hydraulic systems or as metalworking compositions to cool and lubricate surfaces which are in frictional contact during operations such as the turning, cutting, peeling, or grinding of metals.The functional fluid contains a diluent, a dialkyldithiophosphate, a compound which is a source of molybdate ion, a polyether nonionic surfactant, and an associative polyether thickener.

Abstract: This invention relates to water based functional fluids and antiwear compositions for such functional fluids. The functional fluids can be used in hydraulic systems or as metal working compositions to cool and lubricate surfaces which are in frictional contact during operations such as the turning, cutting, peeling, or grinding of metals. More specifically, the invention relates to a novel antiwear composition for inclusion in functional fluids which comprises:(a) a metal dialkyldithiophosphate, and(b) certain primary amines.It has been found that this combination of certain primary amines with the metal dialkyldithiophosphate provides improved wear properties over the use of the metal dialkyldithiophosphate alone, particularly at higher operating pressures such as 2000 psig and above. The functional fluid would also contain(c) a thickener and optionally(d) a carboxylic compound; and(e) a surfactant.

Abstract: The invention relates to functional fluid concentrates and functional fluids which can be prepared by mixing the concentrates with water. The functional fluids can be used in hydraulic systems or as metalworking compositions to cool and lubricate surfaces which are in frictional contact during operations such as the turning, cutting, peeling, or grinding of metals.The functional fluid concentrate comprises:(a) a cloud point raising metal dialkyldithiophosphate additive having the following structural formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, and R.sub.4 are individually linear or branched alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, arylalkyl and alkylaryl groups having from 1 to 24 carbon atoms; and M is selected from the group consisting of Zn, Sb, Sn, Mg, and Mn; preferably Zn or Sb;(b) a polyether nonionic surfactant; and(c) an associative polyether thickener.Preferably the concentrate also contains a linear or branched alkanolamine having 2 to 10 carbon atoms.

Abstract: The invention relates to functional fluid concentrates and functional fluids which can be prepared by mixing the concentrates with water. The functional fluid concentrate comprises certain basic zinc salts as cloud point raising additives; a polyether nonionic surfactant; and an associative polyether thickener.
