A process for producing a high VIlow volatility lubricating oil basestock and a lubricating oil basestock prepared by said process. In an embodiment, one or more passivation layers are formed over a first substrate. A process and method is also described in which artificial turf can be cleaned and coated in the field after installation and specially coated, flexible mini beads can be added as filler. Therefore, the Vs voltage charged during a period ranging from after the sustain period to before the transistor is turned on, is discharged to be less than the Ve voltage. A method of contacting a fiber to a solution of a siloxane-carborane polymer, drying the coating to a temperature that does not change the polymer to a thermoset or ceramic, and using the dried, coated fiber in a process that requires that the fiber be flexible. A recess formed by the walls of the housing has a planar opening and a seal is attached to the walls of the recess which surrounds the planar opening and which, in use, locates against a work piece to create an air tight seal between the housing and the work piece.
