TRACTION FLUID COMPOSITION

摘要

Novel traction fluid compounds represented by the following formulae ABn (I) wherein A is a residue of a compound having from 1 to 10 active hydrogen atoms, B is a residue of a cycloalkene oxide having from 4 to 12 carbon atoms, or a cycloaliphatic epoxide having from 4 to 12 carbon atoms, and n is 1 to 10, with the proviso that n can be less than the number of active hydrogen atoms in compound A, and process for the preparation thereof are disclosed. The compounds are useful as traction fluid applications either per se or in blends with known lubricating compositions due to their high traction coefficients.
