FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0001] The disclosure is directed to hydrolytically stable oleaginous fluids and improved additives for oleaginous fluids, particularly certain poly(alkyl (meth)acrylates) useful as additives for hydraulic fluids. BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY
[0002] Hydraulic systems, e.g., systems wherein the operation of high speed, high pressure hydraulic pumps is subject to wide temperature variations, can impose severe demands on hydraulic fluids. Under such severe operating conditions, water or moisture ingress to the system can have a serious effect on the performance of the hydraulic fluid if reactive acidic components are present in the fluid.
[0003] Additives for improving properties of hydraulic fluids such as viscosity index improving additives are known. Viscosity index improving additives reduce the influence of temperature changes on fluid viscosity. Of the viscosity index improving additives, acrylic acid ester copolymers are particularly suitable for such applicati...
