- Title
Fat-Based synthetic lubricants.
- Authors
Matthews, D. M.
- Abstract
Synthetic lubricants derived from fat-based materials are almost exclusively esters of the following type: (a) mono and dibasic acid esters, e.g., laurates, stearates of short chain aliphatic alcohols, azelates and sebacates of oxo alcohols; (b) polyalkylene glycols and glycol esters, e.g., triethyleneglycol dicaprylate caprate and others; (c) branched polyol or nucleic polyol esters derived from pentaerythritol or trimethylol alkanes and saturated short chained acid of the C6, C8, C9 type; (d) triglycerides, specifically tailored by the rearrangement of two or more naturally occurring triglycerides. Among the unique but desirable characteristics of synthetic lubricants are: good lubricity, minimum viscosity change with temperature (high VI), low temperature fluidity, high thermal and oxidation stability, low volatility, excellent additive response, seal and gasket compatability and high fire and flash points.
