Definitions

• Lubricating composition preparation process and applications, in particular as an additive in oils.
• the present application relates to a lubricating composition, its preparation process and its applications, in particular as an additive in oils.
• the base oils developed by petroleum companies for use as lubricants are monograde oils. Most engines such as internal combustion, petrol or diesel engines for cars, for example, use multigrade oils.
• Additives must be incorporated into these monograde oils to obtain multigrade oils after mixing.
• oils are subjected to sulfonation reactions in order to be dissolved in the oils to which they are added. With aging, the oils release acids which corrode motors, more particularly stationary motors.
• French patent application No. 2359200 describes a hybrid lubricant dilutable in a conventional fluid lubricating oil, comprising an aqueous colloidal dispersion of polytetrafluoroethylene particles, a neutralizing and stabilizing agent, a carrier fluid lubricating oil incorporated in the stabilized dispersion for forming with it an emulsion, which emulsion comprises a dispersing agent and finally a wetting agent added to 1 "emulsion endowed with affinity with respect to rubbing surfaces so as to predispose them to be impregnated by said particles and merge with them to form a surface lubricating layer.
• the hybrid lubricant uses an aqueous dispersion.

These (co) polymers can be used alone or as a mixture. Mention may in particular be made of Teflon R (PTFE) essentially composed of tetrafluoroethylene. Mention may also be made of Teflon FEP R , tetrafluoroethylene copolymer hexafluoropropy- lene. Mention may also be made of Teflon PRPFA R, which is a perfluorinated alkoxylated polymer.

The same is true of plain bearings, above all because of the small contact surfaces, for ball and roller bearings on which, during start-ups, the metal dreaded by specialists is avoided.
• the operation becomes progressively more flexible as the treatment produces its effects. Start-up becomes easier, engine wear is slowed down, certain standards are restored, in particular the compression ratios are balanced and return to normal, and the segments possibly stuck by the residues peel off and refill again their role of sealing and stoichiometric stability, avoiding the rise of oil in the combustion chambers and the projection of fuel in the oil.
