NOVEL APPLICATION OF THICKENERS TO ACHIEVE FAVORABLE AIR RELEASE IN LUBRICANTS

摘要

Methods for achieving favorable air release properties, methods fo blending a lubricant composition and lubricant compositions are disclosed. I one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of obtaining at least one bas stock and at least one thickener, blending the base stock(s) and the thickene wherein the treat rates of the base stock and thickener are chosen to achieve favorable air release properly using a relationship between the thickener, lubricant viscosity, and viscosity of at least one base stock.
