Abstract A liquid lubricant comprising a blend of mono- and di-esters of an organic glycol having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms and a molecular weight of up to 200, and a monocarboxylic acid having from 10 to 24 carbon atoms. The blend includes a sufficient amount of monoesters to serve as a nonionic emulsifier and to impart watermiscibility to the blend. Preferably a sufficient amount of carbon-to-carbon unsaturation is present in the esters to provide to the blend an iodine number up to about 190. The lubricant blend has a balance of properties adapting it to be used as a substitute for sperm oil. The blend may be used as such or chemically combined with sulfur, chlorine or other halogens, phosphorous, and the like.
A LUBRICANT COMPRISING A BLEND CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF FATTY ACIDS EACH HAVING FROM 10 TO 24 CARBON ATOMS AND MONOESTERS AND DI-ESTERS OF SAID FATTY ACIDS WITH GLYCOLS SELECTED FROM THE CLASS CONSISTING OF SIMPLE GLYCOLS, EACH HAVING FROM 2 TO 6 CARBON ATOMS, POLYMERS THEREOF HAVING MOLECULAR WEIGHTS UP TO 282, AND MIXTURES THEREOF, AT LEAST 10 PERCENT BY WEIGHT OF SAID TOTAL MONO-ESTERS AND DI-ESTERS BEING MONOESTERS, SAID BLEND HAVING A HYDROXYL NUMBER IN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 15 TO ABOUT 70, AN ACID NUMBER LESS THAN 15, A POUR POINT BELOW 30*F., AN S.U.S. VISCOSITY AT 100*F. IN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 90 TO ABOUT 120 AND AN IODINE NUMBER FROM 0 TO 190.
