Abstract

There is disclosed a method of suppressing misting or spatting from an oil-containing functional fluid, such as a chain saw lubricant, by blending with the functional fluid a mist suppressing effective amount of a copolymer of a C.sub.3 or C.sub.4 alpha-monoolefin and at least one other alpha-monoolefin having from 5 to about 20 carbon atoms, said copolymer having a viscosity average molecular weight of from about 500,000 to about 10 million.
