Abstract: Engine oil compositions comprise (A) a lubricating base oil having a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of 2 to 6 mm2/S, a viscosity index of 120 or more, and a total aromatics content of 15 percent by mass or less and (B) a polymethacrylate-based viscosity index improver in such an amount that the composition has a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of 4.0 to 9.3 mm2/s. Disclosed are also engine oil compositions which comprise (A) a lubricating base oil having a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of 2 to 6 mm2/S, a viscosity index of 120 or more, and a total aromatics content of 15 percent by mass or less; (B) a polymethacrylate-based viscosity index improver in such an amount that the composition has a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of 4.0 to 9.3 mm2/s; and (C) molybdenumdithiocarbamate.

Abstract: A copolymer comprising units derived from (a) methaciylic acid esters containing from about 9 to about 25 carbon atoms in the ester group and (b) methacrylic acid esters containing from 7 to about 12 carbon atoms in the ester group, said ester groups having 2-(C1-4 alkyl)-substituents, and optionally (c) at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of methacrylic acid esters containing from 2 to about 8 carbon atoms in the ester group atoms and which are different from methacrylic acid esters (a) and (b), vinyl aromatic compounds, and nitrogen-containing vinyl monomers with the proviso that no more than 60% by weight of the esters contain not more than 11 carbon atoms in the ester group. Also described are additive concentrates and lubricating oil compositions containing the copolymers and processes for preparing copolymers.

Abstract: Aqueous metal working fluids containing a mist suppressing copolymer are disclosed. The copolymer includes hydrophobic and hydrophilic monomers. Optionally, the metal working fluid may be an oil-in-water emulsion.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for preparation of amine functionalized copolymers by reacting copolymers of alkyl methacrylate and maleic anhydride with N-phenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine in mineral oil and inert atmosphere at 40 to 75.degree. C. The copolymers are useful viscosity index improvers when incorporated into lubricating oils.

Abstract: A lubricating oil for a rolling bearing in a high-speed rotating equipment comprises a nondrying vegetable oil. A rolling bearing for a high-speed rotating equipment is provided with a rolling bearing element constructed of an outer ring, an inner ring, rolling elements and a retainer to rotatably support at least a rotary shaft thereon. The retainer is made of a non-porous metal or synthetic resin and is lubricated with the lubricating oil.

Abstract: Copolymers and functionalized copolymers comprising ethylene units, in combination with non ethylene copolymer derivatives, give improved engine piston cleanliness when used as lubricating oil additives.

Abstract: A description follows of an additive for lubricating oils which is a viscosity-index improver, with dispersing properties and stable towards fluoroelastomers, having a greater shear stability and improved rheological behaviour at low temperature. The above additive is prepared by the polymerization of a composition of particular poly(meth)acrylates.
