Patent number: 10059897Abstract: Problem A detergent friction modifying agent having both a detergent performance that ameliorates and prevents degradation over time that is caused by deposits in the engine, and a friction reducing effect that lowers frictional resistance in the engine; a fuel additive that improves drivability with a good balance over the entire range of engine speeds, and provides engine characteristics such that, over the entire range of driving speeds, the engine-braking characteristics are such that the feeling of free running will be strongly produced, such that a fuel consumption improvement effect is produced in actual vehicles that is greater than the values produced on the test bench, and which also has storage stability; and a fuel composition containing the same. Solution The present invention is characterized by containing a polyetheramine carboxylic acid salt; the fuel additive of the present invention is added to fuel at 0.5 wt % or less.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2015Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: TURBULENCE LTD.Inventor: Shigeru Sugimoto

Publication number: 20180119047Abstract: Object There found a demand for ashless type novel lubricant which does not contain phosphorus, sulfur or metals and has high friction reducing effect, and suppresses the generation of deposit/sludge and the like, and furthermore can exhibit a detergency effect. It is an object to provide a novel lubricant capable of responding to this demand. In addition, it was found out that it is required to demonstrate performances such as friction reduction effect and detergent effect under various low temperature and high temperature environments. In the present invention, it is also an object to provide a novel lubricant which can exhibit excellent performance even under various low temperature and high temperature environments even at the higher dosage. Solution A lubricating oil/grease additive characterized by containing a polyetheramine carboxylic acid salt represented by the general formula (1).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2016Publication date: May 3, 2018Applicant: TURBULENCE LTD.Inventor: Shigeru SUGIMOTO
