Abstract: The present invention relates to a lubricant composition exhibiting enhanced load-carrying capacity and oxidative/corrosion stability. The lubricant composition of the present invention comprises a major portion of an aliphatic ester base oil having lubrication properties and formed by the reaction of pentaerythritol and an organic carboxylic acid. The lubricant composition further comprises 3-(di-isobutoxy-thiophosphonylsulfanyl)-2-methyl-propionic acid (DITMPA) as an additive comprising from about 0.01 to about 0.40 weight percent of the fully formulated lubricating oil composition as well as yellow metal passivator comprising from about 0.01 to about 0.40 weight percent of the fully formulated lubricating oil composition. The enhanced load-carrying capacity and oxidative/corrosion stability of lubricant compositions containing DITMPA and yellow metal passivator is achieved without deleteriously affecting other salient properties of the lubricant.

Abstract: The present invention relates, generally, to a high temperature stable mixed polyol ester lubricant composition partly containing an aromatic carboxylic acid ester and a process of making the same. Typically, the aromatic acid ester is benzoic acid, and the lubricant composition preferably comprises a mixture of linear C5, i-C9, and linear C7-10 aliphatic carboxylic acid. The esters are preferably formed from an aliphatic polyol. These mixed polyol esters are useful in aero-derived gas turbine engines.

Abstract: This invention generally relates to new polyol ester derivatives of polyamines for use as dispersant additives compatible in synthetic ester-based turbo oils. The dispersant additives of the present invention consist of a hydrocarbon acid, a polyol, an amine carrier such as diacid or cyclic anhydride and a polyamine. The hydrocarbon acid makes up the non-polar hydrocarbon portion of the dispersant and the polyamine functions as the polar headgroup. The diacid or cyclic anhydride provides a means for attaching the polar polyamine to the dispersant structure through an amide linkage. Different dispersant structures are obtained by varying the hydrocarbon acid, the polyol and the nature of the polyamine.

Abstract: This invention generally relates to a high temperature stable polyol ester lubricant composition containing short chain carboxylic esters and a process for making the same. The polyol ester lubricant compositions are preferably formed from pentaerythritol and a mixture of C2 to C10 carboxylic acids in which (1) from 95 to 80 mole %, based on total acids, are C5 to C10 carboxylic acid, and (2) from 5 to 20 mole %, based on total acids, are at least one C2 to C4 carboxylic acid The polyol ester lubricant compositions of the present invention, specifically those using at least one C2 to C4 carboxylic acid, are useful as base stock for high temperature application such as Aviation Turbine Oils and exhibit enhanced anti-deposition and oxidation stability compared with the base polyol ester compositions while maintaining a good viscosity index.
