Lubricating oil containing aromatic ether compounds

The present invention provides lubricant oil compositions comprising a polyalkylene glycol carbonate. The lubricant oil compositions are useful for industrial gear oil, automotive gear oil, and lubricant oil for refrigerators, rolling installations and fibers, which are excellent in lubricating properties and detergency. The present invention also relates to lubricant oil compositions which comprise a polyalkylene glycol polycarbonate having mutual solubility with an ozone layer-nondestructive Freon such as Freon R-134a, and which are accordingly especially suited for refrigerators using hydrogenated fluorocarbon as a refrigerant. A polyalkylene glycol carbonate according to the invention comprises a polyoxypropylene group in the molecular chain and an alkyl group and an alkyloxyalkylene group at the molecular terminals. This invention provides a process for preparing said polyalkylene glycol polycarbonate wherein a polypropylene glycol and a carbonate are allowed to react, said reaction including condensation polymerization. The invention also provides a process without condensation polymerization for preparing a polyalkylene glycol polyol wherein a polyol and a carbonate is allowed to react in the presence of a basic catalyst while a produced alcohol is being distilled off, the catalyst is removed then, and the unreacted carbonate is eliminated.

Polyalkylene glycol polycarbonate based lubricant oil composition

A polycarbonate lubricating oil composition which is resistant to decomposition of the polycarbonate and the generation of carbon dioxide gas. The lubricating oil composition contains a polycarbonate lubricant, at least one compound selected from the group of epoxy compound, phenol compound, sulfur compound and amine compound, and optionally a triester phosphite or a triester phosphate compound as inhibitors to the generation of carbon dioxide gas. The lubricating oil composition are stable, have excellent lubricating properties, cleaning properties, and electrical insulating properties, and their viscosity at low temperature can readily be lowered.
