There are disclosed functional fluid compositions containing a two component friction modifier additive composed of a thio-bis-alkanol succinate ester and a phosphate diester such as dioleyl phosphite. The compositions are especially useful as tractor fluids.

Power transmission shift fluids containing two-component friction

There are disclosed functional fluids and lubricating compositions containing a minor amount of an oil-soluble alkoxypolyethyleneoxy acid phosphite ester additive which provides improved water tolerance properties to the compositions.

Functional fluids and lubricants having improved water tolerance

New and improved shielding tapes for use in electric cable construction are disclosed and include a metallic foil treated on both sides with a conductive adhesion promoting material and surrounded on both sides with a continuous layer of a semi conductive polymer material. The tapes provide an improved electrostatic shield and moisture barrier for cables destined to be utilized in extended underground installation applications.

Semi-conductive, moisture barrier shielding tape and cable

A method is described for dehydrochlorinating 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane employing a refluxing dipolar aprotic solvent, such as dimethylformamide, containing a lithium halide catalyst to produce a crystalline product consisting essentially of 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethylene. The crystalline product can be isolated in substantially pure form and converted to a high impact, flame retardant polycarbonate.
