Lubricity Ester groups are polar and therefore affect the efficiency of anti-wear additives. When a base fluid is used which is too polar, it and not the anti-wear additives will be adsorbed onto, and cover, the metal surfaces, giving higher wear characteristics. Consequently, although esters have superior lubricity properties compared to mineral oil, they are less efficient than anti-wear additives. Esters are classified in terms of polarity or non-polarity by the van der Waal formula [48], Equation (2.1) ... 

Generally, the higher the non-polarity index, the lower the affinity for the metal surface. Using the above formula it can be seen that as a general rule, increasing molecular weight improves overall lubricity. Esters terminated by normal acids or alcohols have better lubricities than those made from branched acids/alcohols, while esters made from mixed acids/alcohols have lubricities intermediate between esters of normal acids/alcohols and esters of branched acids/alcohols. 

Synthetic bases or synthetics are products created by the chemical reaction of several ingredients. Two main classes are used for lubricants esters and synthetic hydrocarbons (in particular polyalphaolefms manufactured from ethylene). These products have excellent physical properties and exceptional thermal stability.

Castor oil, ricinoleate, and sebacic esters derived from castor may be used to alter properties of lubricants. Esters of castor oil and ricinoleate, including estolides formed with other FAs, are used as viscosity enhancers for lubricant blends in making greases (Cermak et al., 2006 Garcia-Zapeteiro et al., 2014). 

White crystals m.p. 162-164 C. ll can be prepared by the fermentation of sugar with the mould Aspergillus lerreus or by healing citra-conic anhydride with water at ISO C. Electrolysis of the potassium salt in solution gives allene. Itaconic acid is used as a comonomer in plastics its esters are polymerized to lubricating oils and plasticizers. 

The main synthetic fluids used as special lubricants are esters, polyglycols, silicones, halogenated hydrocarbons and polyphenyl ethers. 

HOaQCHjlfiCOiH, CSH14O4. Important dicarboxylic acid obtained by oxidizing ricino-leic acid (from castor oil) also obtained by oxidation of cyclo-octene or cyclo-octadiene formerly obtained from cork. Used in the formation of alkyd resins and polyamides. Esters are used as plasticizers and heavy duty lubricants and oils. 

Additives for lubrication under extreme conditions fatty esters, fatty acids, etc. 

The most common liquid lubricants are mineral oils (usually naphthenic), esters (either diesters or complex esters), polyalpha olefins and polyalkylene glycols. 

Other constituents may be added to assist in the formation of uniform beads or to influence the use properties of the polymers through plasticization or cross-linking. These include lubricants, such as lauryl or cetyl alcohol and stearic acid, and cross-linking monomers such as di- or trivinylbenzene, diaHyl esters of dibasic acids, and glycol dimethacrylates. 

Lubricants, Fuels, and Petroleum. The adipate and azelate diesters of through alcohols, as weU as those of tridecyl alcohol, are used as synthetic lubricants, hydrauHc fluids, and brake fluids. Phosphate esters are utilized as industrial and aviation functional fluids and to a smaH extent as additives in other lubricants. A number of alcohols, particularly the Cg materials, are employed to produce zinc dialkyldithiophosphates as lubricant antiwear additives. A smaH amount is used to make viscosity index improvers for lubricating oils. 2-Ethylhexyl nitrate [24247-96-7] serves as a cetane improver for diesel fuels and hexanol is used as an additive to fuel oil or other fuels (57). Various enhanced oil recovery processes utilize formulations containing hexanol or heptanol to displace oil from underground reservoirs (58) the alcohols and derivatives are also used as defoamers in oil production. 

Long-chain esters of pentaerythritol have been used as pour-point depressants for lubricant products, ranging from fuel oils or diesel fuels to the high performance lubricating oils requited for demanding outiets such as aviation, power turbines, and automobiles. These materials requite superior temperature, viscosity, and aging resistance, and must be compatible with the wide variety of metallic surfaces commonly used in the outiets (79—81). 

Polyols. Several important polyhydric alcohols or polyols are made from formaldehyde. The principal ones include pentaerythritol, made from acetaldehyde and formaldehyde trimethylolpropane, made from -butyraldehyde and formaldehyde and neopentyl glycol, made from isobutyraldehyde and formaldehyde. These polyols find use in the alkyd resin (qv) and synthetic lubricants markets. Pentaerythritol [115-77-5] is also used to produce rosin/tall oil esters and explosives (pentaerythritol tetranitrate). Trimethylolpropane [77-99-6] is also used in urethane coatings, polyurethane foams, and multiftmctional monomers. Neopentyl glycol [126-30-7] finds use in plastics produced from unsaturated polyester resins and in coatings based on saturated polyesters. 

Rigid Applications. The use of the lead stabilizers is very limited in the United States but, they are stiU used in several rigid PVC appHcations in Europe and Asia. The highest use of lead stabilizers in rigid PVC is for pipe and conduit appHcations. Tribasic lead sulfate is the primary heat stabilizer with lead stearates included to provide lubrication. The lead products are typically fully formulated, usually including lubricants and pigments for pipe extmsion appHcations. These lead one-packs, when used at about 1.8—2.5 phr, provide all of the stabilizer and lubrication needed to process the polymer. A lead one-pack contains tribasic lead sulfate, dibasic lead stearate calcium stearate, polyethylene wax, paraffin wax, ester wax, and pigments. 

The most common VI improvers are methacrylate polymers and copolymers, acrylate polymers (see Acrylic ester polymers), olefin polymers and copolymers, and styrene—butadiene copolymers. The degree of VI improvement from these materials is a function of the molecular weight distribution of the polymer. VI improvers are used in engine oils, automatic transmission fluids, multipurpose tractor fluids, hydrautic fluids, and gear lubricants. Their use permits the formulation of products that provide satisfactory lubrication over a much wider temperature range than is possible using mineral oils alone. 

Olefin oligomers are used widely as automotive lubricants. They often are combiaed with some of the organic esters as base fluids ia engine oils, gear oils, and hydrauHc fluids, eg, for equipment intended for operation ia extremely cold climates, and for premium oils, eg, for the service station market ia temperate climates. 

Dibasic acid esters and polyol esters are used as the bases in all aircraft jet-engine lubricants. They also are employed in aircraft greases that are subjected to wide temperature ranges. 

Halogenated hydrocarbons that are inexpensive sometimes are used alone or in blends with phosphate esters as fire-resistant hydrauHc fluids. Other halogenated fluids are used for oxygen-compressor lubricants, lubricants for vacuum pumps that are in contact with corrosive materials, solvent-resistant lubricants, and other lubricant appHcations where highly corrosive or reactive materials are being handled.
