A biodegradable lubricating oil composition includes (A) an ester represented by a formula (1) below, the ester having a kinematic viscosity in a range from 300 mm/s to 1000 mm/s at 40 degrees C. and an acid value of 0.5 mgKOH/g or less; (B) an ester being obtained by reacting a straight-chain saturated aliphatic carboxylic acid with a polyhydric alcohol, the ester having an acid value of 0.5 mgKOH/g or less; and (C) a phosphate amine salt being obtained by reacting an acidic phosphate with an alkylamine. In the formula, Ra is a hydrocarbyl group having 4 to 20 carbon atoms, Rb is a hydrocarbyl group having 4 to 18 carbon atoms, Rc is an acyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and n is an integer of 3 to 15.

Biodegradable lubricant composition

A lubricating oil composition for high-temperature applications contains (A) a pyromellitate ester, (B) a sulfur-containing triazine antioxidant, and (C) a thiophosphoric acid ester antioxidant. When the lubricating oil composition for high-temperature applications according to the invention is applied to a chain, a gear, a bearing and the like, an amount of evaporation of the lubricating oil composition is restrained for a long time and fluidity thereof is also kept for a long time.

Lubricating oil composition for high-temperature applications

A biodegradable lubricating oil composition includes (A) an ester being obtained by reacting a saturated aliphatic carboxylic acid, a straight-chain aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and a polyhydric alcohol together, the ester having a kinematic viscosity in a range from 400 mm/s to 1000 mm/s at 40 degrees C. and an acid value of 0.5 mgKOH/g or less; (B) an ester being obtained by reacting a straight-chain saturated aliphatic carboxylic acid with a polyhydric alcohol, the ester having an acid value of 0.5 mgKOH/g or less; and (C) a phosphate amine salt being obtained by reacting an acidic phosphate with an alkylamine.
