Abstract

A lubricant composition comprising a Group I-IV or Group VI lube base stock and a glycerol tri-ester of the formula: wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are independently selected from linear or branched C 4 to C 14 alkyl groups.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A lubricant composition comprising a Group I-IV or Group VI lube base stock and a glycerol tri-ester of the formula: 
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
       
       wherein R 1 , R 2  and R 3  are independently selected from linear or branched C 4  to C 14  alkyl groups. 
     
     
         2 . The lubricant composition of  claim 1 , wherein the Group I-IV or Group VI lube base stock is present in an amount of 50 wt % to 99 wt %. 
     
     
         3 . The lubricant composition of  claim 1 , wherein the lube base stock is a liquid polyalphaolefin having a Kv 100  of from greater than 3 cSt to 10,000 cSt. 
     
     
         4 . The lubricant composition of  claim 1 , wherein R 1 , R 2  and R 3  are the same or different. 
     
     
         5 . The lubricant composition of  claim 4 , wherein R 1 , R 2  and R 3  are linear alkyl groups. 
     
     
         6 . The lubricant composition of  claim 4 , wherein R 1 , R 2  and R 3  are branched alkyl groups. 
     
     
         7 . The lubricant composition of  claim 4 , wherein R 1 , R 2  and R 3  are a combination of linear and branched alkyl groups. 
     
     
         8 . The lubricant composition of  claim 1 , wherein the glycerol tri-ester is glycerol trioctanoate. 
     
     
         9 . The lubricant composition of  claim 1 , wherein the glycerol tri-ester is glycerol trinonanoate. 
     
     
         10 . The lubricant composition of  claim 1 , wherein the glycerol tri-ester is glycerol tridecanoate. 
     
     
         11 . The lubricant composition of  claim 1 , wherein the glycerol tri-ester has a Kv 100  of less than 20 cSt. 
     
     
         12 . The lubricant composition of  claim 1 , wherein the glycerol tri-ester has a VI greater than 90. 
     
     
         13 . The lubricant composition of  claim 3 , wherein the liquid polyalphaolefin has a Kv 100  of from greater than 3 cSt to 300 cSt. 
     
     
         14 . The lubricant composition of  claim 1 , wherein the glycerol tri-ester has a pour point of less than 0° C. 
     
     
         15 . The lubricant composition of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one additive selected from the group consisting of detergents, dispersants, antioxidants, antiwear additives, pour point depressants, viscosity index modifiers, friction modifiers, defoaming agents, corrosion inhibitors, wetting agents, densifiers, fluid-loss additives and rust inhibitors. 
     
     
         16 . The lubricant composition of  claim 1 , wherein the Group I-IV or Group VI lube base stock is derived from a gas-to-liquid hydrocarbon material. 
     
     
         17 . The lubricant composition of  claim 1 , wherein the Group I-IV or Group VI lube base stock is a Group III lube base stock. 
     
     
         18 . A lubricant composition comprising greater than 50 wt % of a metallocene-catalyzed PAO lube base stock, having a Kv 100  from 3 cSt to 300 cSt, and less than 50 wt % of a glycerol tri-ester of the formula: 
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
       
       wherein R 1 , R 2  and R 3  are independently selected from linear or branched C 4  to C 14  alkyl groups. 
     
     
         19 . A lubricant composition comprising greater than 50 wt % of a Group III lube base stock, and less than 50 wt % of a glycerol tri-ester of the formula: 
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
       
       wherein R 1 , R 2  and R 3  are independently selected from linear or branched C 4  to C 14  alkyl groups.
