Abstract: The lubricating oil composition contains a base oil, a phosphate ester derivative represented by a formula (1) below and a zinc compound. An element ratio (Zn/P) between zinc (Zn) and phosphorus (P) in the lubricating oil composition is 0.55 or more at a mole ratio. In the formula, Y represents S (sulfur) or O (oxygen); R1 represents an organic group having 4 to 24 carbon atoms; R2 represents a divalent organic group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; and n represents an integer of 1 to 3.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for manufacturing a lubricant composition comprising combining a superabsorbent polymer with a material for decreasing friction between moving surfaces. The superabsorbent polymer absorbs from about 25 to greater than 100 times its weight in water and may comprise a polymer of acrylic acid, an acrylic ester, acrylonitrile or acrylamide, including co-polymers thereof or starch graft co-polymers thereof or mixtures thereof. A product produced by the process includes the material for decreasing friction comprising a petroleum lubricant containing an additive, water containing an additive, synthetic lubricant, grease, solid lubricant or metal working lubricant, wherein the synthetic lubricant, grease, solid lubricant or metal working lubricant optionally contain an additive. A process comprising controlling the delivery of a lubricant to at least one of two moving surfaces in order to decrease friction between said moving surfaces, is also disclosed.

Abstract: A lubricant composition comprising a perfluoropolyether lubricant and fluorinated ketone solvent is described. The lubricant composition can be applied as a coating to a substrate such as magnetic media. After the coating dries, a thin uniform lubricant film covers the substrate surface. The fluorinated ketone solvent can solubilize a wide range of perfluoropolyether compounds but not potential contaminants such as water and hydrocarbons. Additionally, the solvent has low potential to adversely affect global warming.
