Abstract:
This invention generally relates to a high temperature stable polyol ester lubricant composition containing short chain carboxylic esters and a process for making the same. The polyol ester lubricant compositions are preferably formed from pentaerythritol and a mixture of Cto Ccarboxylic acids in which (1) from 95 to 80 mole %, based on total acids, are Cto Ccarboxylic acid, and (2) from 5 to 20 mole %, based on total acids, are at least one Cto Ccarboxylic acid The polyol ester lubricant compositions of the present invention, specifically those using at least one Cto Ccarboxylic acid, are useful as base stock for high temperature application such as Aviation Turbine Oils and exhibit enhanced anti-deposition and oxidation stability compared with the base polyol ester compositions while maintaining a good viscosity index.
