An extreme pressure additive composition for use in grease contains alkaline earth metal derivatives of 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (DMTD) complexed to alkylene glycol fluids and or PAG fluids. In addition, additives for extreme pressure and antiwear contain a complex of alkali and/or alkaline earth metal derivatives of DMTD with alkylene glycol fluids and or PAG fluids, in combination with an organophosphorus compound.

Compositions comprising silicone fluids are formulated to provide improved metal-to-metal lubrication. Such Lubricating compositions comprise a major amount of (1) one or more siloxane polymer ('silicone fluids') selected from dimethyl siloxane polymers (also known as dimethyl silicone) and/or phenylmethyl dimethyl siloxane copolymers (also known as phenyl silicone), and lesser amounts of (2) synthetic and/or bio-based ester co-fluid, and (3) an alkoxylated aliphatic polyamine derivative. Unexpectedly, the compositions show a significant improvement in metal-to-metal lubrication, performing better than either the silicone fluids alone or and a combination of silicone with-ester and or silicone with-alkoxylated aliphatic polyamine combinations.

Silicone based lubricant compositions

The invention relates to an extreme pressure additive composition with excellent corrosion resistance properties for use in grease, as well as a lubricating grease composition containing the additive. The additive composition is based on (a) approximately equal amounts by mass of antimony diamyldithiocarbamate and zinc diamyldithiocarbamate, and (b) thiadiazole dimer poly(ether)glycol complex; at (a):(b) mass ratio of about 1.6:1 to about 9.6:1.

Non-corrosive EP grease composition

The present invention relates to oligomeric or polymer dithiophosphate di- or poly-sulfides and their utility in rubbers. Another aspect of the invention is a method for making oligomeric or polymeric dithiophosphates by reacting phosphorous pentasulfide with a di- or polyol and a mono alcohol to produce a dithiophosphoric acid, and then oxidizing the dithiophosphoric acid with an oxidizing agent to produce an oligomeric or polymeric dithiophosphate.

Dithiophosphate composition and utility in rubber

Antimony dithiocarbamate is known to provide extreme pressure (EP) protection in lubricating compositions, such as grease. However, there is a desire to reduce the amount of antimony used in such compositions, while still maintaining acceptable EP performance. It has now been found by using small amounts of either ammonium dithiocarbamate or zinc dithiocarbamate in combination with the antimony dithiocarbamate (SbDTC), a lower amount of SbDTC can be used in the lubricating composition while still maintaining excellent or exceptional EP protection. To counteract the corrosive effects of the SbDTC and ammonium dithiocarbamate composition, it has been found that compounds containing a carboxylic acid group are effective in avoiding copper corrosion.

A novel hydroxyalkyldithiocarbamate borate ester compound is presented according to the formula: where R=alkyl Cto C; R'=H or COR; R&#x2033;=(CH)OH where m=1 to 8, or alkyl Cto C; n=1 to 8. The borate ester compound is prepared by reacting boric acid with a novel hydroxyalkyldithiocarbamate ester compound according to the formula, and optionally with an alcohol: where R, R&#x2032;, R&#x2033; and n are as above. The hydroxyalkyldithiocarbamate ester is prepared by reacting a hydroxyalkylamine with CS, and an acrylate or maleate compound. A lubricating composition is based on a major amount of lubricating oil and a minor amount of the hydroxyalkyldithiocarbamate borate ester.

A processes for preparing highly sulfurized molybdenum oxysulfide dithiocarbamates (Mo DTCs) by reacting: [A] a tertiary amine, [B] a hexavalent molybdenum compound, [C] carbon disulfide, [D] water, and [E] a secondary amine are disclosed. The Mo DTCs can be efficiently produced with high sulfur contents and in high yields with low corrosive action and excellent friction properties. The produced Mo DTCs can be used in either grease or lubricating oils as friction modifiers, antiwear agents, extreme pressure agents and antioxidants.

The present invention relates to 1,3,4-thiadiazole reaction products useful as accelerators and/or curing agents for halogenated polymers in rubber vulcanization processes, and to halogenated polymer compositions containing the thiadiazole derivatives, as well as a method of preparing the same. The additive is the reaction product of a 1,3,4-thiadiazole compound and a dithiocarbamic acid or an amine, or an isomer thereof.
