A lubricant composition includes a polyalkylene glycol base oil component in an amount of at least about 60 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the lubricant composition. The lubricant composition has a kinematic viscosity at 100&#xb0; C. of from about 4 to about 50 cSt and a kinematic viscosity at 40&#xb0; C. of from about 20 to about 700 cSt, each measured in accordance with ASTM D445.

Lubricant composition

A lubricant composition characterized as having a viscosity of less than about 150,000 cP at &#x2212;40&#xb0; C., a kinematic viscosity of less than about 150,000 cSt at &#x2212;40&#xb0; C., and a kinematic viscosity of at least about 18.5 cSt at 100&#xb0; C. for use in association with a device involving metal to metal contact of moving parts comprising: (a) base-stock comprising (i) at least one relatively low viscosity polyalphaolefin, (ii) at least one ester, and at least one Group III base oil; (b) viscosity improver comprising (i) at least one relatively high viscosity polyalphaolefin, and (ii) a least one olefin copolymer; (c) a performance additive comprising at least one additive effective to improve at least one property of the lubricant and/or the performance of the equipment in which the lubricant is to be used; (d) at least one pour-point depressant; and, optionally, (e) at least one antifoam agent.

High viscosity lubricant compositions meeting low temperature performance requirements

One aspect of the present invention relates to the use of a polyamide as a binder for printing inks, wherein the polyamide is a reaction product (P) of (1) one or more compounds which are chosen from the group of primary and/or secondary monoamines and polyamines with (2) a dimer fatty acid and (3) a carboxylic monoacid, with the proviso that the dimer fatty acid (2) building block of (P) contains at least 30% by weight of monomer fatty acid.

Polyamides as binders for printing inks

Disclosed are low VOC defoaming agents comprising at least one active defoaming compound or combination of defoaming compounds, and a liquid carrier comprising one or more organic compounds having a viscosity of less than about 100 centistokes (cSt) at 40&#xb0; C. as measured by ASTM D445, having a VOC content as measured by ASTM method D3960 'Standard Practice for Determining Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Content of Paints and Related Coatings' of not greater than about 1% by weight.
