There is disclosed a method of suppressing misting or spatting from an oil-containing functional fluid, such as a chain saw lubricant, by blending with the functional fluid a mist suppressing effective amount of a copolymer of a C.sub.3 or C.sub.4 alpha-monoolefin and at least one other alpha-monoolefin having from 5 to about 20 carbon atoms, said copolymer having a viscosity average molecular weight of from about 500,000 to about 10 million.

Method of suppressing mist formation from oil-containing functional

The fuel economy of an internal combustion engine can be improved by adding to the lubricating oil used to lubricate the crankcase of said engine a synergistic blend of amine/amide and ester/alcohol friction modifying agents, for example, by reacting (a) a carboxylic acid, such as oleic acid and/or isostearic acid with an amine, such as diethylene triamine or tetraethylene pentamine, and (b) glycerine monooleate and/or glycerine monoricinoleate.

Synergistic blend of amine/amide and ester/alcohol friction modifying

The invention relates generally to explosives, and more particularly to dry ammonium nitrate-fuel oil based explosives, containing a high molecular weight polymer characterized by a high stringiness factor.
