Polyglycerol esters as functional fluids and functional fluid modifiers

摘要

High viscosity functional fluids prepared by reacting a polyglycerol with a triglyceride oil or fat. The reaction products can be used as high viscosity lubricants or blended with triglyceride-based functional fluids for use in mud drilling, as low temperature lubricants, cutting fluids, hydraulic fluids, and food grade lubricants.
