Abstract

Abstract A high-viscosity refrigerator oil composition comprising (A) a polyglycol oil such as a polyoxypropylene glycol or an alkyl ether thereof and (B) 0.1-10% by weight, based on the total weight of (A) and (B), of a glycidyl ether type epoxy compound, an epoxidized fatty acid monoester and/or an epoxidized vegetable oil.
