Abstract: The present invention pertains to low emission polyurethane polymer products based on autocatalytic polyols made by modification of conventional polyols with tertiary amines and processes for their manufacture. The tertiary amine is bound to a conventional polyol by means of an epoxide, epichlorohydrin, or grafting by means of an azo and/or peroxide initiator or sulfonyl azide.

Abstract: Novel traction fluid compounds represented by the following formulae ABn (I) wherein A is a residue of a compound having from 1 to 10 active hydrogen atoms, B is a residue of a cycloalkene oxide having from 4 to 12 carbon atoms, or a cycloaliphatic epoxide having from 4 to 12 carbon atoms, and n is 1 to 10, with the proviso that n can be less than the number of active hydrogen atoms in compound A, and process for the preparation thereof are disclosed. The compounds are useful as traction fluid applications either per se or in blends with known lubricating compositions due to their high traction coefficients.
