Abstract
A viscosity index improver, comprising an oil-soluble copolymer (A) having 20-70% by weight of alkyl acrylate units and 30-80% by weight of alkyl methacrylate units, and a viscosity index improver, comprising 20-80% by weight of an oil-soluble alkyl acrylate (co)polymer (A1) and 20-80% by weight of an oil-soluble methacrylate (co)polymer (A2), are capable of reducing high-temperature high-shear viscosity, particularly isoparaffin-containing high viscosity index oil, and provide luburicating oils useful as engine oil, gear lubricant and so on.
Claims16
A lubricating oil composition, which comprises:
- a minor portion, as a viscosity index improver, of an oil-soluble copolymer (A) having 20-70% by weight of at least one alkyl acrylate unit (a1) containing 5-22 carbon atoms in the alkyl group and 30-80% by weight of at least one alkyl methacrylate unit (a2) containing 1-22 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, and a major portion of an isoparaffin-containing high viscosity index oil (B) having a viscosity index of at least 110.
A lubricating oil composition, which comprises:
- a minor portion, as a viscosity index improver, of an oil-soluble copolymer (A) comprising 20-70% by weight of alkylacrylate unit (a1) whose alkyl group has 1-22 carbon atoms comprising an alkylacrylate monomer (a1-1) whose alkyl group has 5-10 carbon atoms and an alkylacrylate monomer (a1-2) whose alkyl group has 1-4 carbon atoms and 30-80% by weight of at least one alkylmethacrylate unit (a2) containing 1-22 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, and a major portion of an isoparaffin-containing high viscosity index oil (B) having a viscosity index of at least 110.
A lubricating oil composition, which comprises:
- a minor portion, as a viscosity index improver, of an oil-soluble copolymer (A) having 20-70% by weight of at least one alkyl acrylate unit (a1) containing 5-10 carbon atoms in the alkyl group and 30-80% by weight of at least one alkyl methacrylate unit (a2) containing 1-22 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, and a major portion of an isoparaffin containing high viscosity index oil (B) having a viscosity index of at least 110.
A lubricating oil composition, which comprises:
- a minor portion, as a viscosity index improver, of an oil-soluble copolymer (A) having 20-70% by weight of at least one alkylacrylate unit (a1) containing 1-22 carbon atoms in the alkyl group and 30-80% by weight of at least alkylmethacrylate unit (a2) containing 1-22 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, and a major portion of an isoparaffin-containing high viscosity index oil (B) having a viscosity index of at least 110;
- wherein said unit (a1) comprises at least 60% by weight of the alkylacrylate unit (a1-1) containing 5-10 carbon atoms in the alkyl group.
