Abstract

Abstract Ester lubricants derived from high molecular weight aliphatic dibasic acids, polyoxyalkylene glycols and monofunctional aliphatic alcohols are provided. These ester compositions are useful as lubricants and are readily emulsifiable with water. Aqueous emulsions of these esters have superior lubricating and rust inhibiting properties.
