Abstract
Lubricant and grease compositions are disclosed comprising ratite oils. These lubricant and grease compositions include compositions comprising a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity, and a minor amount of ratite oil. The lubricating and grease compositions are useful as lubricants, friction reducers, and coolants.
Claims10
A lubricant composition comprising:
- (a) a ratite oil;
- and (b) an oil of lubricating viscosity selected from the group consisting of cutting oils, gear oils, hydraulic fluid oils, oils used in gas engines, stationary power engines, and turbines, automatic transmission fluids, transaxle lubricants, tractor lubricants, metal-working lubricants, crankcase lubricating oils for spark-ignited and compression-ignited internal combustion engines, including automobile, tractor and truck engines, two-cycle engines, aviation piston engines, and marine and railroad diesel engines, and mixtures thereof.
A lubricant composition comprising an oil of lubricating viscosity and a ratite oil wherein said ratite oil comprises from about 0.01% to about 25% by weight of said lubricant composition.
A method of preparing a lubricant composition comprising mixing:
- (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity selected from the group consisting of cutting oils, gear oils, hydraulic fluid oils, oils used in gas engines, stationary power engines, and turbines, automatic transmission fluids, transaxle lubricants, tractor lubricants, metal-working lubricants, crankcase lubricating oils for spark-ignited and compression-ignited internal combustion engines, including automobile, tractor and truck engines, two-cycle engines, aviation piston engines, and marine and railroad diesel engines and mixtures thereof;
- and (b) a ratite oil.
A method of lubricating two surfaces moving against one another to reduce friction, heat or wear comprising treating at least one of said surfaces with a lubricant composition comprising a ratite oil.
A method of preparing a lubricant composition comprising mixing:
- (a) an oil for lubricating viscosity;
- and (b) about 0.01% to about 25% by weight of a ratite oil.
