Abstract: A wear-indicating metalworking fluid is provided that includes a lubricant base; and a wear-indicating agent. A method of determining wear in a metalworking fluid includes providing wear-indicating metalworking fluid that contains a lubricant base and a wear indicating agent; and observing the visual appearance of the metalworking fluid. A change in visual appearance of the metalworking fluid when compared to an unused metalworking fluid indicates wear of the metalworking fluid.

Abstract: The invention relates to compounds with the formula (II), where R is a C1- to C30-alkyl group, a C2- to C30-alkenyl group, a C6- to C18-aryl group, or a C7- to C30-alkylaryl group, AO is a C2-C4-alkoxy group, x is a number from 1 to 50, m is a number between 4 and 12, and to the use thereof in quantities of 0.0001 to 5% by weight relative to the oil content of the emulsion to be demulsified, for splitting water in oil emulsions.

Abstract: A sliding member includes: a substrate which has a sliding surface sliding under the presence of lubricating oil; and a film which is fixed to at least a part of the sliding surface. The film contains carbon (C), titanium (Ti), and boron (B), is obtained by repeatedly and alternately layering a first layer containing amorphous carbon as a principal component and a second layer containing C and Ti as principal components, and has hardness of 18 GPa or more.

Abstract: Novel sulfur-containing compositions comprise a polyether polysulfide or an ether polysulfide. The polyether polysulfide may be based upon an alkoxylate (an alcohol or glycol-initiated compound) that is a copolymer of at least two of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and butylene oxide. The polyether polysulfide may alternatively be based upon a homopolymer of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or butylene oxide. The ether polysulfide may be based upon a methoxy-capped polyglycol or an alkyl ether of 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol.
