Hydrocarbyl ethers of sulfur-containing hydroxyl derived aromatics as synthetic lubricant base stocks

U.S. Patent Number: 5344578

Abstract: Alkyl ethers of sulfur-containing hydroxyl-derived aromatics have been found to be effective as high-performance synthetic lubricant base stocks with superior catalytic thermal/oxidative stabilities, excellent antiwear and load-carrying properties, as exemplified by bisphenol sulfide (BPS) based products. These ethers are also highly useful in fuel compositions.
