Title: Arthur J Kiehn: Innovator in Engine Lubrication Technologies

Introduction

Arthur J Kiehn is a notable inventor based in Seattle, WA, who has made significant contributions to the field of engine lubrication. With a total of 2 patents, Kiehn has focused on developing innovative solutions that enhance the performance and efficiency of both two-cycle and four-cycle engines.

Latest Patents

Kiehn's latest patents include a two-cycle engine lubricant composition that comprises an ester copolymer and a diester. This composition improves the performance of two-cycle and four-cycle engines by adding a copolymer of an alpha-olefin and a dialkyl fumarate or maleate, along with a synthetic diester compound containing about 30 carbon atoms. For two-cycle engines, the formulation includes both chemicals and an octane booster, such as methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl. In contrast, the four-cycle engine composition contains at least one of the copolymer and diester, along with a molybdenum or bismuth salt, dimercapto 1,3,4-thiadiazole, and sulfur-phosphorous EP or chlorinated paraffin. This innovative composition also enhances gear and grease lubrication, providing improved lubricity to fuels.

Another significant patent by Kiehn involves siloxane polymer compositions. This invention features a composition containing a siloxane polymer designed for cleaning, polishing, and lubricating surfaces. In addition to the siloxane polymer, the formulation includes a surface bonding enhancer, a lower alkyl alcohol, and a citrus extract. The siloxane polymer can be a low viscosity siloxane polymer or a mixture of low and high viscosity siloxane polymers. A preferred embodiment of this invention utilizes d-limonene as the citrus extract.
