Conclusions
-
1.
It has been established that polymer-thickened oils are better than ordinary mineral oils in antipitting properties over the range of viscosities that were investigated.
-
2.
The curve relating antipitting properties to viscosity passes through a maximum both for mineral oils and thickened oils; the maximum is sharper for thickened oils.
-
3.
The antipitting properties of thickened oils are affected by the polymer molecular weight, especially at high polymer concentrations. The curves for antipitting properties of thickened oils as a function of molecular weight of the test polymer (P-3, P-8, P-20) pass through a maximum that is characteristic for polyisobutene with 8,000 molecular weight
