| 20100056407 | LUBRICANT FORMULATIONS AND METHODS OF LUBRICATING A COMBUSTION SYSTEM TO ACHIEVE IMPROVED EMMISIONS CATALYST DURABILITY - Different zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDPs) exhibit different volatilities and have different effects on automotive emissions control catalysts. The ZDDPs and their respective decomposition fragments that have low volatility will have a correspondingly lower detrimental effect on combustion emissions control systems, because there are simply fewer phosphorous atoms that will pass through the combustion system to reach the emissions control system. Specifically, it has been discovered that ZDDPs that contain a significant fraction of MIBC ZDDP exhibit significantly lower volatility than other ZDDPs. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100144563 | ADDITIVES AND LUBRICANT FORMULATIONS FOR IMPROVED ANTIWEAR PROPERTIES - Lubricated surfaces and lubricant compositions for lubricating a surface. The lubricated surface is provided by a lubricant composition including a base oil of lubricating viscosity, at least one metal salt of phosphorothioic acid, and an ashless, sulfur-free organophosphorus compound providing a metal to phosphorus weight ratio ranging from about 0.25:1 to about 1.0:1 by weight.

| 20110111994 | PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF POLYALKENYL SUCCINIC ANHYDRIDES - A polyalkenyl succinic anhydride is prepared with low amounts of resinous or chlorinated byproducts in a two-step process whereby a polyalkene is first reacted with an unsaturated organic acid in a thermal ene reaction, followed with exposure to a gaseous halogen in presence of an additional amount of the unsaturated organic acidic reagent. The foregoing process produces a polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride having a high ratio of succinic anhydride functional groups to polyisobutenyl backbone groups. Such a polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride is particular suitable for the production of oil-soluble hydrocarbyl succinimides that have good dispersant properties when added to lubricating oil compositions. | 05-12-2011 |
