A method for preparing a water soluble lubricating additive having the generic structural formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is an alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkaryl or aralkyl group having from 1 to 34 carbon atoms; R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are independent alkylene groups having from 2 to 30 carbon atoms; x is either 1 or 2; y is either 0 or 1 when x=1 and is 0 when x=2; m is either 0 or 1 and n=2 to 30 is disclosed, wherein a sulfur-containing alcohol is initially reacted with an organic carboxylic acid to produce an alkylmercapto ester which is then further reacted with an alkylene oxide to produce the lubricating additive. The water-soluble lubricating additives produced in this manner are useful as lubricating additives for water-based fluids used in metalworking operations.

Water soluble lubricating additives

A water soluble lubricating additive for water-based fluids used in metalworking operations comprising a polyoxyalkylene sulfur compound selected from the group consisting of alkyl polyoxyalkylene sulfides, alkyl polyoxyalkylene sulfoxides and mixtures thereof. In an alternate embodiment of this invention, dithiodiglycol may be combined with a polyoxyalkylene sulfur compound selected from the group consisting of alkyl polyoxyalkylene sulfides, alkyl polyoxyalkylene sulfoxides and mixtures thereof to produce said water soluble lubricating additive.

Alkyl polyoxyalkylene sulfides and alkyl polyoxyalkylene sulfoxides as

Certain branched chain amines and carboxylic derivatives thereof are useful additives for lubricants and fuels.

Gasoline compositions containing branched chain amines or derivatives

Engine deposits are controlled by dispensing an additive to fuel. In one aspect, the additive comprises paraffins. In another aspect, a solid form additive for dispensing fuel additive to fuel in solid form is provided by employing a structural agent which is soluble and dispersible in fuel to contain and provide dimensional stability to the additive.

Solid form additives and method of forming same

A mixture of di-(2-hydroxyethyl)disulfide and a derivative of polyoxyalkylene glycol selected from the group consisting of polyoxyalkylene glycol esters and polyoxyalkylene glycol ethers. The mixture is useful in improving the lubricating characteristics of water based fluids in metal working operations.

Method of forming solid form fuel additives

Vegetable oils, particularly soy oil, are reacted with polyamines, particularly tetraethylenepentamine, to form a mixture containing amides, imides, half esters and glycerol; subsequent reaction with sulfonic acid to produce a product mix that is further reacted with a boron-containing compound, particularly boric acid, to provide a fuel additive that has good detergent properties and is particularly non-corrosive.
