Abstract
Functional fluid composition comprising an ester of a phosphorus acid and a compound of the formula I r(ch.sub.2 x).sub.n (I) in which R represents an aromatic hydrocarbon or heterocyclic containing residue, n is an integer of at least 2, and each X is the same or different and represents a leaving group, which composition may be used for a wide variety of purposes, for example in hydraulic machinery employed in foundries and mines, in hydraulic systems for aircraft, in turbines and as fluids in electrical equipment and in heat transfer devices.
