20 5fi320 LUBRICATING OIL COMPOSITIONS
AND CONCENTRATES AND THE USE THEREOF
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to oleaginous compositions of enhanced performance characteristics, to additive concentrates for enhancing the performance characteristics of oleaginous base fluids (e.g., lubricants and functional fluids), and to methods of achieving such enhanced performance characteris-tics.
BACKGROUND
Over the years the demand for performance improvements in lubricating oils and functional fluids has persisted and, if anything, progressively increased. For example, lubrica-ting oils for use in internal combustion engines, and in par-ticular, in spark-ignition and diesel engines, are constantly being modified and improved to provide improved performance.
Various organizations including the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), the ASTM (formerly the American Society for Testing Materials) and the API (American Pety~oleum Institute) as well as the automotive manufacturers continually seek to improve the performance of lubricating oils. Various stan-dards have been established and modified over the years through the efforts of these organizations. As engines have increased in power output and complexity, and in many cases decreased in size, the performance requirements have been increased to provide lubricating oils that will exhibit a reduced tendency to deteriorate under conditions of use and thereby to reduce wear and the formation of such undesirable deposits as varnish, sludge, carbonaceous materials and re-sinous materials which tend to adhere to various engine parts and reduce the operational efficiency of the engine.
Current objectives include the development of additive formulations and oleaginous compositions, especially crankcase Case EI-6306+ 2 ~ 5 6 3 2 0

- 2 -lubricants and crank~~ase lubricant additive packages, capable of achieving these stringent performance requirements without requiring use of he<~vy metal-containing components, such as zinc dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphates. Because of environmental and conservational concerns, much emphasis of late has been devoted toward finding ways of eliminating heavy metal-con-taining components from lubricants and functional fluids. Not only do heavy meta:Ls pose environmental and toxicological problems (e. g., problems arising in the event of spillage, leaks, etc. ) , but their presence in used oils complicates used oil reclamation procedures.
Still anoths:r desirable objective is to provide addi-tive formulations a:nd oleaginous compositions which exhibit good compatibility with elastomeric substances utilized in the manufacture of seals, gaskets, clutch plate facings, and like parts. Unfortunately, commonly used additives containing ba-sic nitrogen constituents tend to cause excessive degradation of such elastomers when oils containing such additives come in contact with such elastomers during actual service conditions.
A need thus exists for novel oleaginous compositions (i.e., lubricants and functional fluids) and additive formula-tions therefor which are capable of meeting stringent perfor-mance criteria including adequate compatibility with elasto-meric substances, and which nonetheless are devoid of heavy metal-containing components.
There are 7_iterally hundreds, if not thousands, of patent disclosures describing attempts (some more successful than others) to improve the performance characteristics of oils of lubricating viscosity. A small selection from this vast body of literature comprises U.S. 3,087,936; 3,184,411;

THE INVENTION
This invention provides additive systems capable of imparting enhanced performance characteristics to natural and synthetic oils of lubricating viscosity. In addition, this invention makes it possible to achieve such enhanced perfor mance with additive systems devoid of heavy metal-containing performance enhancers such as heavy metal-containing dithio phosphates, xanthates and/or dithiocarbamates. In short, this invention makes i.t possible to achieve a high level of perfor-mance without use of conventional heavy metal-containing per-formance enhancer additives such as zinc dialkyldithiophos-phates.
In accordance with this invention there is provided in one of its embodiments a composition comprising a major pro-portion of at least one oil of lubricating viscosity and a minor proportion of at least the following components:
a) one or more oil-soluble overbased alkali or alkaline earth metal-containing detergents having a total base number (TBN) of at least 200, preferably at least 250, more preferably at least '300, and most preferably 400 or more; and b) one or more oil-soluble additive compositions formed by heating concurrently or in any sequence at least one ashless dispersant which contains basic nitrogen a.nd/or at least one hydroxyl group with (i) at least one inorganic phosphorus acid or anhydride, or at least one partial or total sulfur analog thereof, or any combination of the foregoing; or (ii) at least one water-hydrolyzable organic phosphorus compound and water; and (iii) at least one boron compound, such that a liquid composition is formed;
components a) and b;1 being proportioned such that the weight ratio of metal in the form of component a) to phosphorus in Case EI-6306+

the form of component b) falls in the range of 0.15:1 to 10:1.
TBN of a) is determined in accordance with ASTM D-2896-88.
In the formation of such liquid composition from (ii) and (iii), water i=~ removed at least during or after the heating with (ii) and (iii) (if conducted concurrently) or at least during or after the heating with (ii) (if conducted sequentially).
The cooperation between components a) and b) of such compositions makes i.t possible to achieve performance levels (reduction in sludge formation and/or deposition and reduction in wear in gears and/or other relatively moveable metal sur-faces in contact with each other) normally achieved, if at all, by use of heavy metal-containing additive components such as zinc dialkyldithiophosphates.
Another advantageous feature of this invention is that combinations of components a) and b) can exhibit good compati-bility toward elastomers cammonly employed in the manufacture of seals or gaskets,, clutch plate facings, etc., such as ni-trile rubbers, fluor~oelastomers, and silicon-containing (e. g., silicone-type) elastomers. In other words, such elastomers are not subjected t:o excessive degradation when in contact under actual service conditions with preferred lubricant or functional fluid co.rnpositions of this invention.
Still anotha_r advantageous feature of this invention is that the combinat.i.ons of components a) and b) are relative ly non-corrosive toward "yellow metals" such as copper, brass, bronze, and the like. In such combinations, component a) is composed of one ar more overbased alkali metal-containing and/or overbased alkaline earth metal-containing detergents of the types generally known to be useful in oleaginous fluids (e. g., overbased sulfonates, overbased phenates, overbased sulfurized phenates" overbased salicylates, overbased sulfuri-zed salicylates, et.c.). Besides contributing detergency to the compositions, :such metal compounds can serve to reduce corrosive attack on so-called "yellow metals" such as copper, bronze, and the like..

Case EI-6306+
. ,

- 5 -Additive concentrates comprising at least components a) and b) above constitute additional embodiments of this in-vention.
In order to satisfy the stringent specification re-quirements to qualify for top-grade crankcase lubricating oils, it is necessary to include in the compositions of this invention a combination of antioxidant and corrosion inhibi-tor. In this way, t:he enhanced performance (e. g., effective control of sludge, deposit and varnish formation and of wear of contacting metal~parts) made possible by this invention can be maintained while at the same time satisfying specification requirements associated with oxidation and corrosion inhibi-tion. Thus in another preferred embodiment of this invention, there is provided a crankcase lubricant composition which com-prises a major proportion of at least one oil of lubricating viscosity and a minor proportion of at least the following components:
a) one or more oil-soluble alkali or alkaline earth metal-containing detergents having a TBN of at least about 200, preferably about 250 or more, more pre ferably about 300 or more, and most preferably about 400 or more;
b) one or more oil-soluble additive compositions formed by heating concurrently or in any sequence at least one ashless dispersant which contains basic nitrogen and/ar at least one hydroxyl group with (i) at least one inorganic phosphorus acid or anhydride, or at least one partial or total sulfur analog thereof, or any combination of the foregoing -- preferably one or more sulfur-free inorganic phosphorus acids; most preferably phosphorous acid (H3P03); or (ii) at least one water-hydrolyzable organic phosphorus compound and water -- preferably one or more halogen-free organic phosphorus compounds such as the total or partial or-ganic ester's of a phosphorus acid, more preferably a dihydrocarbyl hydrogen phosphite, and most preferably Case EI-6306+

- 6 -a dialkyl hydrogen phosphate; and (iii) at least one boron compound -- preferably one or more halogen-free boron compounds; most preferably boric acid and/or one or more boric acid esters; such that a liquid composi tion is formed;
c) one or more oil-soluble antioxidants; and d) one or more oil-soluble corrosion inhibitors;
such that said lubricant composition satisfies (1) the re quirements of the Sequence IID, Sequence IIIE, and Sequence VE
procedures of the American Petroleum Institute; and/or (2) the requirements of the L-38 Test Procedure of the American Petro-leum Institute; and/or (3) the requirements of the Caterpil-lar~ 1G(2) and/or the 1H(2) Test Procedures; component a) and b) being proportions~d such that the weight ratio of metal in the form of component a) to phosphorus in the form of compo-nent b) falls in the range of 0.15:1 to 10:1.
Additive concentrates which comprise at least com-ponents a), b), c), and d) as set forth above, and which when blended with a base oil of lubricating viscosity provide a lubricant satisfying the foregoing Sequence IID, IIIE, and VE
procedures; and/or i~he L-38 procedure; and/or at least one of the Caterpillar~ 1G(2) and Caterpillar~ 1H(2) procedures con-stitute still additional especially preferred embodiments of this invention. ThE; most preferred preferred embodiments are lubricant compositions and additive concentrates which satisfy the requirements of all of the Sequence IID, Sequence IIIE, Sequence VE, L38, C:aterpi:Llar~ 1G(2) and Caterpillar~ 1H(2) procedures.
Additional preferred embodiments of this invention are oleaginous compositions and additive concentrates in which the relative proportions of components a) and b) are such that the weight ratio of alkali and/or alkaline earth metals) in the form of component a) to phosphorus in the form of component b), respectively, falls in the range of about 0.2:1 to about 10:1 (more preferably in the range of about 0.2:1 to about 5:1, and most preferably in the range of about 0.25:1. to about Case EI-6306+
20 5fi320 4:1). Particularly preferred are lubricants and functional fluids containing components a) and b) proportioned as speci-fied in this paragraph wherein the total content of metals in the form of component a) is in the range of about 0.001 to about 1, preferably in the range of about 0.01 to about 0.5, and most preferably in the range of about 0.02 to about 0.3 weight percent of m~etal(s) based on the total weight of the lubricant composition or functional fluid composition. De-spite the absence of any added quantity of heavy metal-con-taming components, such lubricant and functional fluid com-positions can provide a high level of performance.
Other preferred embodiments of this invention are ole-aginous composition~> and additive concentrates in which one or more sulfur-free phosphorus compounds are used in forming com-ponent b). This reduces the possibility of hydrogen sulfide evolution from component b) during long periods of storage under elevated temperatures.
Still further preferred embodiments of this invention comprise lubricant compositions formulated for use as crank case lubricants for gasoline and/or diesel engines containing at least components. a) and b) in proportions such that the ->verall composition has a TBN of at least 4.
Other embodiments of this invention include the provi sion of methods for inhibiting sludge formation and/or deposi tion in oils normally tending to occur during actual service conditions, and methods for imparting antiwear and/or extreme pressure properties to oils of lubricating viscosity. Also provided are method~~ of inhibiting elastomer degradation, par-ticularly fluoroela:~tomer and silicone e:Lastomer degradation, in systems wherein an elastomer is maintained in contact with an oleaginous composition containing one or more basic nitro-gen-containing components.
Yet another embodiment of this invention is the provi sion of ways of reducing scuffing wear, especially scuffing wear of the type experienced when operating an internal com bustion engine on a periodical basis so that it must be star-Case EI-6306+

ted from time to time by cranking the engine after it has been standing idle and is not warmed up through prior operation.
Use of the oleaginous. campositions of this invention as crank-case lubricants can reduce such scuffing wear. Thus, for ex-ample, this invention provides a method of reducing scuffing wear in an internal carnbustion engine which comprises provi ding as the crankca:~e lubricant for the engine, a lubricant composition of this invention and operating the engine on a discontinuous basis such that the engine is started by crank ing from time to time.
The above and other embodiments and features of this invention will become further apparent from the ensuing de-scription and appended claims.
Component a) The metal-containing detergents of the compositions of this invention are exemplified by oil-soluble overbased salts of alkali or alkaline earth metals with one or more of the following acidic substances (or mixtures thereof): (1) sul-fonic acids, (2) <:arboxylic acids, (3) salicylic acids, (4) alkylphenols, (5) sulfurized alkylphenols, (6) organic phos-phorus acids characterized by at last one direct carbon-to-phosphorus linkage. Such organic phosphorus acids include those prepared by the treatment of an olefin polymer (e. g., polyisobutene having a molecular weight of 1,000) with a phos-phorizing agent such as phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus heptasulfide, phosphorus pentasulfide, phosphorus trichloride and sulfur, white phosphorus and a sulfur halide, or phospho-rothioic chloride. The preferred salts of such acids from the cost-effectiveness, toxicological, and environmental stand-points are the salts of sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, and magnesium. And as noted above, the salts for use as com-ponent a) are overbased salts having a TBN of at least 200, more preferably at least 250, still more preferably at least 300, and most preferably at least 400.

' Case EI-6306+
_ g _ The term "overbased" in connection with composition a) is used to designate metal salts wherein the metal is present in stoichiometrically larger amounts than the organic acid ra-dical. The commonly employed methods for preparing the over-based salts involve heating a mineral oil solution of an acid with a stoichiometric excess of a metal neutralizing agent such as the metal oxide, hydroxide, carbonate, bicarbonate, or sulfide at a temperature of about 50°C, and filtering the re-sulting mass. The use of a "promoter" in the neutralization step to aid the incorporation of a large excess of metal likewise is known. Examples of compounds useful as the pro-moter include phenolic substances such as phenol, naphthol, alkylphenol, thiophenol, sulfurized alkylphenol, and condensa-tion products of formaldehyde with a phenolic substance; alco-hols such as methanol, 2-propanol, octyl alcohol, Cellosolve~' alcohol, Carbitol alcohol, ethylene glycol, stearyl alcohol, and cyclohexyl alcohol; and amines such as aniline, phenylene-diamine, phenothiazine, phenyl-betanaphthylamine, and dodecyl-amine. A particularly effective method for preparing the basic salts comprises mixing an acid with an excess of a basic alkaline earth metal neutralizing agent and at least one alco-hol promoter, and carbonating the mixture at an elevated tem-perature such as 60°-200°C.
Examples of suitable metal-containing detergents in clude, but are not limited to, overbased salts of such sub stances as lithium phenates, sodium phenates, potassium phe nates, calcium phenates, magnesium phenates, sulfurized lithi um phenates, sulfurized sodium phenates, sulfurized potassium phenates, sulfurized calcium phenates, and sulfurized magnesi um phenates wherein each aromatic group has one or more ali-phatic groups to impart hydrocarbon solubility; lithium sulfo-nates, sodium sulfonates, potassium sulfonates, calcium sul-fonates, and magnesium sulfonates wherein each sulfonic acid moiety is attached to an aromatic nucleus which in turn usual-ly contains one or more aliphatic substituents to impart hy-drocarbon solubility; lithium salicylates, sodium salicylates, * Trade-mark Case EI-6306+

potassium salicylates, calcium salicylates, and magnesium sa-licylates wherein the aromatic moiety is usually substituted by one or more aliphatic substituents to impart hydrocarbon solubility; the lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium and magne-sium salts of hydrolysed phosphosulfurized olefins having 10 to 2,000 carbon atoms or of hydrolyzed phosphosulfurized alco-hols and/or aliphatic-substituted phenolic compounds having 10 to 2, 000 carbon atoms; lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium salts of aliphatic carboxylic acids and aliphatic-substituted cycloaliphatic carboxylic acids. and many other similar alkali and alkaline earth metal salts of oil-soluble organic acids. Mixtures of overbased salts of two or more different alkali and/or alkaline earth metals can be used.
Likewise, overbased salts of mixtures of two or more different acids or two or more different types of acids (e.g., one or more overbased calcium phenates with one or more overbased calcium sulfonates) can also be used.
As is well known, overbased metal detergents are gene rally regarded as containing overbasing quantities of inorga nic bases, probably in the form of micro dispersions or col loidal suspensions. Thus the term °'oil-soluble°' as applied to component a) materials is intended to include metal dett~~gents wherein inorganic bases are present that are not necessarily completely or truly oil-soluble in the strict sense of the term, inasmuch as such detergents when mixed into base oils behave in much the same way as if they were fully and totally dissolved in the oil.
Collectively, the various overbased detergents refer red to hereinabove, have sometimes been called, quite simply, basic or overbased alkali metal or alkaline earth metal-con taining organic acid salts.
Methods for the production of oil-soluble overbased alkali and alkaline earth metal-containing detergents are well known to those skilled in the art and are extensively reported in the patent literature. See for example, the disclosures of U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,451,345; 2,451,346; 2,485,861; 2,501,731;

The overbased metal detergents utilized as component a) can, if desired, be oil-soluble boronated overbased alkali or alkaline earth metal-containing detergents. Methods for preparing boronated, overbased metal detergents are described, for example, in U. S. Pat. Nos. 3,480,548; 3,679,584;
3,829,381; 3,909,691; 4,965,003; and 4,965,004.
Particularly preferred metal detergents for use as component a) are one or more overbased calcium sulfonates, one or more overbased magnesium sulfonates, and combinations of one or more overbased calcium sulfonates and one or more over based magnesium sulfonates, in all cases satisfying the TBN
requirements set forth hereinabove.
Com,.ponent b) The other indispensable additive ingredient of the compositions of this invention is comprised of one or more oil-soluble additive compositions formed by heating concur-rently or any sequence at least one ashless dispersant which contains basic nitrogen and/or at least one hydroxyl group with (i) at least one inorganic phosphorus acid or anhydride or at least one partial or total sulfur analog thereof, or any combination of the foregoing; or (ii) at least one water-hy-drolyzable organic compound of phosphorus -- preferably a wa-ter-hydrolyzable ester of an acid of phosphorus -- and water;
arid (iii) at least one boron compound, such that a liquid phosphorus- and boron-containing composition is formed, and from which water has been removed when (ii) and (iii) are used. The ashless dispersant which is heated concurrently or in any sequence with components (i) or (ii) and (iii) is pre-Case EI-6306+
- 12 - .
ferably a preformed ashless dispersant containing basic nitro-gen and/or at least one hydroxyl group. Thus, for example, any suitable ashless dispersant formed in the customary manner can be heated with one or more boron compounds to cause boro-nation to occur and the resultant product mixture can then be heated with (i) one or more inorganic phosphorus compounds or (ii) one or more water-hydrolyzable organic phosphorus com-pounds and water, such that a liquid phosphorus- and boron-containing composition (component b)] is formed. Conversely, a preformed ashless dispersant can be heated with (i) one or more inorganic phosphorus compounds or (ii) one or more water-hydrolyzable organic phosphorus compounds and water, and thereafter the product mixture can be heated with one or more boron compounds so that a liquid phosphorus- and boron-con-to ming composition is formed. The preferred way of forming component b) is to heat a preformed ashless dispersant with a combination of one or more inorganic phosphorus compounds and one or more boron compounds to form a liquid phosphorus- and boron-containing composition. In other words, to form compo-nent b) in the preferred manner, the preformed ashless disper sant is concurrently heated with one or more inorganic phos phorus compounds and one or more boron compounds. In all cases, the resulting liquid product composition when subjected to chemical analysis reveals the presence of both phosphorus and boron.
Rather than utilizing a preformed ashless dispersant containing basic nitrogen and/or at least one hydroxyl group, it is possible to produce component b) by:
1) forming the ashless dispersant in the presence of one or more suitable boron compounds (e.g., boron ester or boron oxide) and then heating the resultant composi tion with (i) one or more inorganic phosphorus com pounds or (ii) one or more water-hydrolyzable organic phosphorus compounds and waters or 2) forming the ashless dispersant in the presence of (i) one or mare suitable inorganic phosphorus compounds Case EI-6306+

(e.g., a phosphorus oxide or sulfide) and then heating the resultant composition with one or more boron com-pounds, or forming the ashless dispersant in the pre-sence of (ii) one or more water-hydrolyzable organic phosphorus compounds and then heating the resultant composition with one or more boron compounds in the presence of water; or 3) forming the ashless dispersant in the presence of one or more suitable boron compounds (see 1) above) and one or more suitable inorganic phosphorus compounds (see 2) above); or forming the ashless dispersant in the presence of one or more boron compounds and one or more water-hydrolyzable organic phosphorus compounds and heating the ashless dispersant in the presence of water either during or after the formation of the ash-less dispersant; or 4) heating one or more boron compounds with a basic ni-trogen-containing and/or hydroxyl group-containing reactant used in forming the ashless dispersant, using the resultant boronated reactant to form the ashless dispersant and 'then heating the resultant ashless dis-persant with (i) one or more inorganic phosphorus com-pounds or (ii) with one or more water-hydrolyzable organic phosphorus compounds in the presence of water;
or 5) heating (i) one or more inorganic phosphorus compounds or (ii) one or more water-hydrolyzable organic phos-phorus compounds in the presence of water, with a basic nitrogen-containing and/or hydroxyl group-con-taming reactant used in forming the ashlars disper-sant, using the resultant phosphorylated reactant to form the ashless dispersant and then heating the resultant ashless dispersant with one or more boron compounds) or 5) heating (i) one or more inorganic phosphorus compounds and one mare boron compounds or (ii) in the presence Case ~I-6306+

of water one or more water-hydrolyzable organic phos-phorus compounds and one more boron compounds, with a basic nitrogen-containing and/or hydroxyl group-con-taining reactant used in forming the ashless disper-sant, and using the resultant phosphorylated and boronated reactant to form the ashless dispersant.
In all cases, the final product composition [component b)]
should be a liquid composition that on analysis reveals the presence of boron and phosphorus. Such product composition should also exhibit dispersant properties. In any case where-in an ashless dispersant used in forming component b) is not a liquid but rather is in whole or in part in 'the solid state of aggregation at room temperature (e. g., 25°C), it is pre-ferable to dissolve such dispersant in a suitable solvent or diluent (polar or non-polar, as may be required to dissolve the dispersant) before the dispersant is subjected to phospho-rylation and/or' boronation (as the case may be) in forming component b) . In this connection, the phrase °'such that a liquid composition is formed" as used herein in connection with such solid state dispersants means that component b), including such'solvent or diluent, is in the liquid state of aggregation a~:.room temperature (e.g., 25°C), even though at a lower temperature the dispersant may revert in whole or in part to 'the solid state. Of course in any case, component b) must be oil-soluble within the meaning of such term as set forth hereinafter.
Irrespective of the method used in forming component b), in any instance wherein macro (i.e., non-dispersible) solids are formed or remain in the liquid composition after it has been formed, such solids should be removed, and can be readily removed, by any of a variety of conventional separa-tion techniques such as filtration, centrifugation, decanta-tion, or the like.
The actual chemical structures of the final product compositions used as component b) in the practice of this in vention, however prepared, are not known with absolute cer ' Case EI-6306+

tainty. While it is believed that phosphorus-containing moie-ties and boron-containing moieties are chemically bonded to the ashless dispersant, it is possible that component b) is in whole or in part a micellar structure containing phosphorus-and/or boron-containing species or moieties. Thus, this in-vention is not limited to, and should not be construed as be-ing limited to, any specific structural configurations with respect to component b). As noted above, all that is required is that component b) is a liquid that is oil soluble and that if subjected to analysis reveals the presence of both phospho-rus and boron. In addition, component b) should possess dis-persant properties.
Although any of a variety of standard methods can be used to analyze the phosphorylated and boronated dispersant for the presence of phosphorus and boron therein, it is de sirable to use the analytical procedure set forth in ASTM
D4951. In this procedure it is convenient to use a Perkin-Elmer Plasma 40 Emission Spectrometer. The analyzing wave-lengths for acceptable measurements are 213.618 ixm and 249.773 nm for phosphorus and boron, respectively.
The phosphorylated and boronated dispers.~nts utilized as component b) in the compositions of this in~-~.Ztion when in their undiluted state should have on a weight basis a phospho-rus content of at least 100 parts per million (ppm) (prefera-bly at least 500 ppm and more preferably at least 1000 ppm) and a boron content of at least 100 ppm (preferably at least 500 ppm and more preferably at least 1000 ppm).
It is to be understood and appreciated that component b) may contain chemical species and/or moieties besides the phosphorus- and boron-containing species or moieties such as, for example, nitrogen- and/or oxygen- and/or sulfur-containing species or moieties over and above the basic nitrogen and/or hydroxyl groups) forming an essential part of the initial ashless dispersant itself. It is also to be understood and appreciated that organic phosphorus-containing compounds may be used along with inorganic phosphorus compounds in making * Trade-mark Case EI-6306+
- 1g _ component b). Further, the inorganic phosphorus compound or compounds can be formed in situ, as, for example, by heating a mixture of phosphorus and sulfur to form a phosphorus sul-fide, or by treating one or more organic phosphorus compounds to convert the same in whole or in part into one or more inor-ganic phosphorus compounds. Also, inorganic phosphorus-con-taining compounds may be used along with water and one or more water-hydrolyzable organic phosphorus compounds in making com-ponent b). Further, the water-hydrolyzable organic phosphorus compound or compounds can be formed in situ, as, for example, by heating a mixture of one or more alcohols or phenols with one or more phosphorus halides (e.g., PC13, POC13, PSC13, RPC12, ROPC12, RSPC12, RPOC12, ROPOCIz, RSPOCIz, RPSC12, ROPSClz, RSPSC12, RZPCl, (RO)ZPCl, (RS)zPCl, (RO)(RS)PC1, RZPOC1, (RO)zPOCl, (RS)ZPOCl, (RO)(RS)POC1, RzPSCl, (RO)ZPSCI, (RS)zPSCl, etc., where each R is, independently, a hydrocarbyl group) and introducing water into the system in order to hydrolyze the water-hydrolyzable phosphorus ester so formed.
As used herein, the term '°pkiosphorylated" means that the ashless dispersant has been heated with (i) one or more inorganic phosphorus compounds or with (ii) one or more water hydrolyzable organic phosphorus comks~~unds and water, such that the resultant product, on analysis, reveals the presence of phosphorus. Likewise, as used herein, the term "boronated"
means that the ashless dispersant has been heated with one or more boron compounds such that the resultant product, on analysis, reveals the presence of boron. As noted herein-above, the precise chemical makeup of the phosphorylated and boronated dispersant compositions is not known with absolute 3G certainty. Thus the terms "phosphorylated°' and °'boronated°' are not to be construed as requiring that the resultant com-position contain chemically bound phosphorus or boron. While it is believed that chemical reactions do occur to produce a composition containing at least some chemically bound phos-phorus moieties and at least some chemically bound boron moieties, moieties or species of either or both of such Case E'I.°6306+

elements conceivably could be present, at least in part, in the form of micellar structures.
Any of a variety of ashless dispersants can be uti lized in forming component b) of the compositions of this invention. These include the following types:
Type A - Carboxylic Dispersants. These products are described in many patents, including British patent specifi-cation No. 1,306,529 and the following U. S. Patents:

There are a number of sub-categories of carboxylic dispersants. One such sub-category which constitutes a preferred type for use in the formation of component b) is composed of the polyamine succinamides and more preferably the polyamine succinimides in which the succinic group contains a hydrocarbyl substituent containing at least- 30 carbon atoms.
The polyamine used in forming such compounds contains at least one primary amino group capable of forming an imide group on reaction with a hydrocarbon-substituted succinic acid or acid derivative thereof such an anhydride, lower alkyl ester, acid halide, or acid-ester. Representative examples of such dis-persants are given in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,172,892; 3,202,678;
3,216,936; 3,219,666; 3,254,025; 3,272,746; and 4,234,435.
The alkenyl succinimides may be formed by conventional methods such as by heating an alkenyl succinic anhydride, acid, acid-ester, acid halide, or lower alkyl ester with a polyamine containing at least one primary amino group. The alkenyl suc-cinic anhydride may be made readily by heating a mixture of olefin and malefic anhydride to about 180°-220°C. The olefin is preferably a polymer or copolymer of a lower monoolefin Case EI-6306+

such as ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, isobutene and the like.
The more preferred source of alkenyl group is from polyisobu-tene having a number average molecular weight of up to 100, 000 or higher. In a still more preferred embodiment the alkenyl group is a polyisobutenyl group having a number average mo-lecular weight (determined using the method described in de-tail hereinafter) of about 500-5,000, and preferably about 700-2,500, more preferably about 700-1,400, and especially 800-1,200. The isobutene used in making the polyisobutene is usually (but not necessarily) a mixture of isobutene and other C4 isomers such as 1-butene. Thus, strictly speaking, the acylating agent formed from malefic anhydride and "polyiso-butene" made from such mixtures of isobutene and other C~
isomers such as 1-butene, can be termed a "polybutenyl suc-cin:ic anhydride" and a succinimide'made therewith can be termed a "polybuteny7. succinimide'°. However, it is common to refer to such substances as "polyisobutenyl succinic anhy-dride" and "polyisobutenyl succinimide", respective:ly. As used herein "polyisobutenyl" is used to denote the alkenyl moiety whether made from a highly pure isobutene or a more impure mixture of isobutene and other CG isomers such as 1-butene.
polyamines which may be employed in forming the ash less dispersant include any that have at least one primary amino group which can react to form an imide group. A few representative examples include branched-chain alkanes con-taining two or more primary amino groups such as tetraamino-neopentane, etc.; polyaminoalkanols such as 2-(2-aminoethyl-amino)-ethanol and 2-[2-(2-aminoethylamino)-ethylamino]-etha-noll heterocyclic compounds containing two or more amino groups at least one of which is a primary amino group such as 1-(13-aminoethyl)-2-imidazolidone, 2-(2-aminoethylamino)-5-nitropyridine, 3-amino-N-ethylpiperidine, 2-(2-aminoethyl)-pyridine, 5-aminoindole, 3-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole, and 4-(aminomethyl)-piperidine; and the alkylene polyamines such as propylene diamine, dipropylene triamine, di-(1,2-bu-Case EI-6306+

tylene)triamine, N-(2-aminoethyl)-1,3-propanediamine, hexa-methylenediamine and tetra-(1,2-propylene)pentamine.
The most preferred amines are the ethylene polyamines which can be depicted by the formula HzN (CHZCHzNH) ~H
wherein n is an integer from one to about ten. These include:
ethylene diamine, diethylene triamine, triethylene tetramine, tetraethylene pentamine, pentaethylene hexamine, and the like, including mixtures thereof in which case n is the average va-lue of the mixture. These ethylene polyamines have a primary amine group at each end so can form mono-alkenylsuccinimides and bis-alkenylsuccinimides. Commercially available ethylene polyamine mixtures usually contain minor amounts of branched species and cyclic species such as N-aminoethyl piperazine, N,N'-bis(aminoethyl)piperazine, N,N'-bis(piperazinyl)ethane, and like compounds. The preferred commercial mixtures have approximate overall compositions falling in the range corre-sponding to diethylene triamine to pentaethylene hexamine, mixtures generally corresponding in overall makeup to tetra-ethylene pentamine being most preferred. Methods for the production of polyalkylene polyamines are known and reported in the literature. See for example U.S. Pat. No. 4,827,03:' and references cited therein.
Thus especially preferred ashless dispersants for use in the present invention are the products of reaction of a polyethylene polyamine, e.g. triethylene tetramine or tetra ethylene pentamine, with a hydrocarbon-substituted carboxylic acid or anhydride (or other suitable acid derivative) made by reaction of a polyolefin, preferably polyisobutene, having a number average molecular weight of 500 to 5,000, preferably 700 to 2,500, more preferably 700 to 1,400 and especially 800 to 1., 200, with an unsaturated polycarboxylic acid or anhy-dride, e.g., malefic anhydride, malefic acid, fumaric acid, or the like, including mixtures of twa or more such substances.
As used herein the term '°succinimide" is meant to encompass the completed reaction product from reaction between Case EI-6306+

the amine reactants) and the hydrocarbon-substituted carboxy-lic acid or anhydride (or like acid derivative) reactant(s), and is intended to encompass compounds wherein the product may have amide, amidine, and/or salt linkages in addition to the imide linkage of the type that results from the reaction of a primary amino group and an anhydride moiety.
Residual unsaturation in the alkenyl group of the alkenyl succinimide may be used as a reaction site, if de-sired. For example the alkenyl substituent may be hydrogena-ted to form an alkyl substituent. Similarly the olefinic bonds) in the alkenyl substituent may be sulfurized, halo genated, hydrohalogenated or the like. Ordinarily, there is little to be gained by use of such techniques, and thus the use of alkenyl succinimides as the precursor of component b) is preferred.
Another sub-category of carboxylic dispersants which can be used in forming component b) includes alkenyl succinic acid esters and diesters of alcohols containing 1-20 carbon atoms and 1-6 hydroxyl groups. Representative examples are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,331,776; 3,381,0227 and 3,522,179. The alkenyl succinic portion of these esters corresponds to the alkenyl succinic portion of the succini-mides described above including the same preferred and most preferred subgenus, e.g., alkenyl succinic acids and anhy-drides, etc. , where the alkenyl group contains at least 30 carbon atoms and notably, polyisobutenyl succinic acids and anhydrides wherein the polyisobutenyl group has a number average molecular weight of 500 to 5,000, preferably 700 to 2,500, more preferably 700 to 1,400, and especially 800 to 1,200. As in the case of the succinimides, the alkenyl group can be hydrogenated or subjected to other reactions involving olefinic double bonds.
Alcohols useful in preparing the esters include metha nol, ethanol, 2-methylpropanol, octadecanol, eicosanol, ethy lene glycol, diethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, diethy lene glycol monoethylether, propylene glycol, tripropylene Case EI°6306+
- 21 - ~oa~~a3~~
glycol, glycerol, sorbitol, 1,1,1-trimethylol ethane, 1,1,1-trimethylol propane, 1,1,1-trimethylol butane, pentaerythri-tol, dipentaerythritol, and the like.
The succinic esters are readily made by merely heating a mixture of alkenyl succinic acid, anhydrides or lower alkyl (e.g., C~-C4) ester with the alcohol while distilling out water or lower alkanol. In the case of acid-esters less alcohol is used. In fact, acid-esters made from alkenyl succinic anhy drides do not evolve water. In another method the alkenyl succinic acid or anhydrides can be merely reacted with an appropriate alkylene oxide such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, and the like, including mixtures thereof.
Still another sub-category of carboxylic dispersants useful in forming component b) comprises an alkenyl succinic ester-amide mixture. These may be made by heating the above described alkenyl succinic acids, anhydrides or lower alkyl esters or etc. with an alcohol and an amine either sequen-tially or in a mixture. The alcohols and amines described above a~-e also useful in this embodiment. Alternatively, amino alcohols can be used alone or with the alcohol and/or amine to form the ester-amide mixtures. The amino alcohol can contaizn 1-20 carbon atoms, 1-6 hydroxy groups and 1-4 amine nitrogen atoms. Examples are ethanolamine, diethanolamine, N-ethanol-diethylene triamine, and trimethylol aminomethane.
Here again, the alkenyl group of the succinic ester-amide can be hydrogenated or subjected to other reactions involving olefinic double bonds.
Representative examples of suitable ester-amide mix-tures are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,184,474; 3,576,743 3,632,511; 3,804,763; 3,836,471: 3,862,981: 3,936,480;
3,948,800: 3,950,341; 3,957,854: 3,957,855; 3,991,098;
4,071,548: and 4,173,540.
Yet another sub-category of carboxylic dispersants useful in forming component b) comprises the Mannich-based derivatives of hydroxyaryl succinimides. Such compounds can be made by reacting a polyalkenyl succinic anhydride with an Case EI-6306+

aminophenol to produce an N-(hydroxyaryl) hydrocarbyl succini-mide which is then reacted with an alkylene diamine or polyal-kylene polyamine and an aldehyde (e.g., formaldehyde), in a Mannish-base reaction. Details of such synthesis are set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 4,354,950. As in the case of the other carboxylic dispersants discussed above, the alkenyl succinic anhydride or like acylating agent is derived from a polyole-fin, preferably a polyisobutene, having a number average mo-lecular weight of 500 to 5,000, preferably 700 to 2,500, more preferably 700 to 1,400, and especially 800 to 1,200. Like-wise, residual unsaturation in the polyalkenyl substituent group can be used as a reaction site as for example, by hy-drogenation, sulfurization, or the like.
Type B - Hydrocarbyl Polyamine Dispersants. This category of ashless dispersants which can be used in forming component b) is likewise well known to those skilled in the art and fully described in the literature. The hydrocarbyl polyamine dispersants are generally produced by reacting an aliphatic or alicyclic halide (or mixture thereof) containing an average of at least about 40 carbon atoms with one or more amines, preferably polyalkylene polyamines. Examples of such hydrocarbyl pol~-a:mine dispersants are described in U.S. Pat.
NoS. 3,275,554; 3,438,757; 3,454,555; 3,565,804; 3,671,511;
3,821,302; 3,394,576; and in European Patent Publication No.
382,405.
In general, the hydrocarbyl-substituted polyamines are high molecular weight hydrocarbyl-N-substituted polyamines containing basic nitrogen in the molecule. The hydrocarbyl group typically has a number average moleculaz° weight in the range of about 750-10,000, more usually in the range of about 1,000-5,000.
The hydrocarbyl radical may be aliphatic or alicyclic and, except for adventitious amounts of aromatic components in petroleum mineral oils, will be free of aromatic unsaturation.
The hydrocarbyl groups will normally be branched-chain alipha-tic, having 0-2 sites of unsaturation, and preferably from 0-1 Case EI-6306+
- 2 3 _ ~a~"~~~~~
site of ethylene unsaturation. The hydrocarbyl groups are preferably derived from petroleum mineral oil, or polyolefins, either homo-polymers or higher-order polymers, or 1-olefins of from 2-6 carbon atoms. Ethylene is preferably copolymerized with a higher olefin to insure oil solubility.
Illustrative polymers include polypropylene, polyiso-butylene, poly-1-butene, etc. The polyolefin group will nor-mally have at least one branch per six carbon atoms along the chain, preferably at least one branch per four carbon atoms along the chain. These branched-chain hydrocarbons are readi-ly prepared by the polymerization of olefins of from 3-6 car-bon atoms arid preferably from olefins of from 3-4 carbon atoms.
In preparing the hydrocarbyl polyamine dispersants, rarely will a single compound having a defined structure be employed. With both polymers and petroleum-derived hydrocar-bon groups, the composition is a mixture of materials having various structures and molecular weights. Therefore, in re-ferring to molecular weight, number average molecular weights are intended. Furthermore, when speaking of a particular hydrocarbon group, it is intended that the group include the mixture that is normally contained within materials which are commercially available. For example, polyisobutylene is known to have a range of molecular weights and may include small amounts of very high molecular weight materials.
Particularly preferred hydrocarbyl-substituted amines or polyamines are prepared from polyisobutenyl chloride.
The polyamine employed to prepare the hydrocarbyl-sub stituted polyamine is preferably a polyamine having from 2 to about 12 amine nitrogen atoms and from 2 to about 40 carbon atoms. The polyamine is reacted with a hydrocarbyl halide (e. g., chloride) to produce the hydrocarbyl-substituted poly-amine. The polyamine preferably has a carbon-to-nitrogen ratio of from about 1:1 to about 10:1.
The amine portion of the hydrocarbyl-substituted amine may be substituted with substituents selected from (A) hydro-Case EI-6306+

gen, and (B) hydrocarbyl groups of from about 1 to about 10 carbon atoms.
The polyamine portion of the hydrocarbyl-substituted polyamine may be substituted with substituents selected from (A) hydrogen, (B) hydrocarbyl groups of from 1 to about 10 carbon atoms, (C) acyl groups of from 2 to about 10 carbon atoms, and (D) monoketo, monohydroxy, mononitro, monocyano, lower alkyl and lower allcoxy derivatives of (B) and (C).
"Lower" as used in terms like lower alkyl or lower alkoxy, means a group containing Pram 1 to about 6 carbon atoms.' At least one of the nitrogens in the hydrocarbyl-substituted amine or polyamine is a basic nitrogen atom, i.e., one titratable by a strong acid.
Hydrocarbyl, as used in describing the substituents in the amine or polyamine used in forming the dispersants, de notes an organic radical composed of carbon and hydrogen which may be aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic or combinations thereof, e.g., aralkyl. Preferably, the hydrocarbyl group will be re latively free of aliphatic unsaturation, i.e., ethylenic and acetylenic, particularly acetylenic unsaturation. The hydro-carbyl substituted polyamines used in forming the dispersants are generally, but not necessarily, N-substituted polyamiaies.
Exemplary hydrocarbyl groups and substituted hydrocarbyl groups which may be present in the amine portion of the dis-persant include alkyls such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, isobutyl, pentyl, hexyl, octyl, etc., alkenyls such as pro-penyl, isobutenyl, hexenyl, octenyl, etc., hydroxyalkyls, such as 2-hydroxyethyl, 3-hydroxypropyl, hydroxyisopropyl, 4-hy-droxybutyl, etc., ketoalkyls, such as 2-ketopropyl, 6-keto-octyl, etc., alkoxy and lower alkenoxy alkyls, such as eth-oxyethyl, ethoxypropyl, propoxyethyl, propoxypropyl, 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethyl, 2-(2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl, 3,6,9,12-tetraoxytetradecyl, 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)hexyl, etc.
Typical amines useful in preparing the hydrocarbyl substituted amines include methylamine, dimethylamine, ethyl amine, diethylamine, n-propyiamine, di-n-propylamine, etc.

Case EI-6306-- 25 _ ~~~~s~
Such amines are either commercially available or are prepared by art recognized procedures.
The polyamine component may also contain heterocyclic polyamines, heterocyclic substituted amines and substituted heterocyclic compounds, wherein the heterocyclic comprises one or more 5-6 membered rings containing oxygen and/or nitrogen.
Such heterocyclics may be saturated or unsaturated and substi-tuted with groups selected from the aforementioned (A), (B), (C), and (D). The heterocyclics are exemplified by pipera-zines, such as 2-methylpiperazine, 1,2-bis(N-piperazinyl-eth ane), and N,N'-bis(N-piperazinyl)piperazine, 2-methylimidazo line, 3-aminopiperidine, 2-aminopyridine, 2-(f3-aminoethyl)-3 pyrroline, 3-aminopyrrolidine, N-(3-aminopropyl)morpholine, etc. Among the heterocyclic compounds, the piperazines are preferred.
Typical polyamines that can be used to form the hydro-carbyl polyamine dispersants include the following: ethylene diamine, 1,2-propylene diamine, 1,3-propylene diamine, diethy-lene triamine, triethylene tetramine, hexamethylene diamine, tetraethylene pentamine, methylaminopropylene diamine, N-(13 aminoethyl)piperazine, N,N'-di(13-aminoethyl)piperazine, N,N"_ di(!3-aminoethyl)imidazolidone-2, N-(f3-cyanoethyl)ethane-1,2 diamine, 1,3,6,9-tetraaminooctadecane, 1,3,6-triamino-9-oxa decane, N-methyl-1,2-propanediamine, 2-{2-aminoethylamino) ethanol, and the like.
Another group of suitable polyamines are the polyal-kylene amines in which the alkylene groups differ in carbon content, such as for example bis(aminoprapyl)ethylenediamine.
Such compounds are prepared by the reaction of acrylonitrile with an ethyleneamine, for example, an ethyleneamine having the formula HZH (CHZCH2NH) nH wherein n is an integer from 1 to 5, followed by hydrogenation of the resultant intermediate.
Thus, the product prepared from ethylene diamine and acrylo-nitrile has the formula HZN (CHZ) 3NH (CHZ) ZNH (CHZ) 3NH2.
In many instances the polyamine used as a reactant in the production of the hydrocarbyl-substituted polyamine is not a single compound but a mixture in which one or several com-pounds predominate with the average composition indicated.
For example, tetraethylene pentamine prepared by the poly-merization of aziridine or the reaction of 1,2-dichloroethane and ammonia will have both lower and higher amine members, e.g., triethylene tetramine, substituted piperazines and pentaethylene hexamine, but the composition will be largely tetraethylene pentamine and the empirical formula of the total amine composition will closely approximate that of tetraethy-l0 lene pentamine. Finally, in preparing the hydrocarbyl-substi-tuted polyamines for use in this invention, where the various nitrogen atoms of the polyamine are not geometrically equiva-lent, several substitutional isomers are possible and are encompassed with the final product. Methods of preparation of polyamines and their reactions are detailed in Sidgewick, The Organic Chemistry of Nitrogen, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1966;
Nollier, Chemistry of Organic Compounds, Saunders, Philadel-phia, 2nd Ed. , 1957 ; and Kirk-Othmer, Encyclopedia of Chemical Technoloctv, 2nd Edition, 1963, especially volume 2, pp. 99-116.
The preferred hydrocarbyl-substituted polyalkylene polyamines for use in this invention may be represented by the formula R~ NH- ( -RZ-NH- ) a-H
wherein R~ is hydrocarbyl having an average molecular weight of from about 750 to about 10, 000: RZ is alkylene of from 2 to 6 carbon atoms; and a is an integer of from 0 to about 10.
Preferably, R~ is hydrocarbyl having an average molecular weight of from about 1,000 to about 10,000.
Preferably, R2 is alkylene of from 2 to 3 carbon atoms and a is preferably an integer of from 1 to 6.
Type C - Mannich polyamine dispersants . This category of ashless dispersant which can be utilized in the formation of component b) is comprised of reaction products of an alkyl phenol, with one or more aliphatic aldehydes containing from 1 to about 7 carbon atoms (especially formaldehyde and deriva-tives thereof), and polyamines (especially polyalkylene poly-Case EI-6306+
- 27 - ~~a~a~~~
amines of the type described hereinabove). Examples of these Mannich polyamine dispersants are described in the following U.S. Patents: 2,459,112; 2,962,442; 2,984,550; 3,036,003;

The polyamine group of the Mannich polyamine disper-sants is derived from polyamine compounds characterized by containing a group of the structure -NH- wherein the two remaining valances of the nitrogen are satisfied by hydrogen, amino, or organic radicals bonded to said nitrogen atom.
These compounds include aliphatic, aromatic, heterocyclic and carbocyclic polyamines. The source of the oil-soluble hydro-carbyl group in the Mannich polyamine dispersant is a hydra-carbyl-substituted hydroxy aromatic compound comprising the reaction product of a hydroxy aromatic compound, according to well 3~nown procedures, with a hydrocarbyl donating agent or hydrocarbon source. The hydrocarbyl substituent provides substantial oil solubility to the hydroxy aromatic compound and, preferably, is substantially aliphatic in character.
Commonly, the hydrocarbyl substituent is derived from a polyolefin having at least about 40 carbon atoms. The hydro-carbon source should be substantially free from pendant groups which render tk~e hydrocarbyl group oil insoluble. Examples of acceptable substituent groups are halide, hydroxy, ether, car-boxy, ester, amide, nitro and cyano. However, these substi-tuent groups preferably comprise no more than about 10 weight percent of the hydrocarbon source.
The preferred hydrocarbon sources for preparation of the Mannich polyamine dispersants are those derived from sub stantially saturated petroleum fractions and olefin polymers, preferably polymers of mono-olefins having from 2 to about 30 Case EI-6306+
2 8 - ~~~~a3~r~
carbon atoms. The hydrocarbon course can be derived, for ex-ample, from polymers of olefins such as ethylene, propene, 1-butene, isobutene, 1-octene, 1-methylcyclohexene, 2-butene and 3-pentene. Also useful are copolymers of such olefins with other polymerizable olefinic substances such as styrene. In general, these copolymers should contain at least 80 percent and preferably about 95 percent, on a weight basis, of units derived from the aliphatic mono-olefins to preserve oil solu-bility. The hydrocarbon source generally contains at least about 40 and preferably at least about 50 carbon atoms to provide substantial oil solubility to the dispersant. The olefin polymers having a number average molecular weight between about 600 and 5,000 are preferred for reasons of easy reactivity and low cost. However, polymers of higher mole-cular weight can also be used. Especially suitable hydrocar-bon sources are isobutylene polymers.
The Mannich polyamine dispersants are generally pre-pared by reacting a hydrocarbyl-substituted hydroxy aromatic compound with an aldehyde and a polyamine. Typically, the substituted hydroxy aromatic compound is contacted with from about 0.1 to about 10 moles of polyamine and about 0.1 to about 10 moles of aldehyde per mole of substituted hydroxy aromatic compound. The reactants are mixed and heated to a temperature above about 80°C. to initiate the reaction. pre-ferably, 'the reaction is carried out at a temperature from about 100° to about 250°C. The resulting Mannich product has a predominantly benzylamine linkage between the aromatic com-pound and the polyamine. The reaction can be carried out in an inert diluent such as mineral oil, benzene, toluene, naph-the, ligroin, or other inert solvents to facilitate control of viscosity, temperature and reaction rate.
polyamines are preferred for use in preparing the Mannich polyamine dispersants, and suitable polyamines in-clude, but are not limited to, alkylene diamines and polyalky-lens polyamines hand mixtures thereof) of the formula:

Case El-6306+

A A
wherein n is an integer from 1 to about 10, R is a divalent hydrocarbyl group of from 1 to about 18 carbon atoms, and each A is independently selected from the group consisting of hy-drogen and monovalent aliphatic groups containing up to 10 carbon atoms which can be substituted with one or two hydroxyl groups. Most preferably, R is a lower alkylene group of from . 2 to 6 carbon atoms and A is hydrogen.
Suitable polyamines for use in preparation of the Mannish polyamine dispersants include, but are not limited to, methylene polyamines, ethylene polyamines, butylene polya-mines, propylene polyamines, pentylene polyamines, hexylene polyamines and heptylene polyamines. The higher homologs of such amines and related aminoalkyl-substituted piperazines are also included. Specific examples of such polyamines include ethylene diamine, triethylene tetramine, tris(2-aminoethyl)-amine, propylene diamine, pentamethylene diamine, hexamethy-lene diamine, heptamethylene diamine, octamethylene diamine, decamethylene diamine, di(heptamethylene) triamine, penta-ethylene hexamine, di(trimethylene) triamine, 2-heptyl-3-(2-aminopropyl)imidazoline, 1,3-bis(2-amirioethyl)imidazoline, 1-(2-aminopropyl)piperazine, 1,4-bis(2-aminoethyl)piperazine and 2-methyl-1-(2-aminobutyl)piperazine. Higher homologs, ob-tained by condensing two or more of the above mentioned amines, are also useful, as are the polyoxyalkylene polya-mines.~
The polyalkylene polyamines, examples of which are set forth above, are especially useful in preparing the Mannish polyamine dispersants for reasons of cost and effectiveness.
Such polyamines are described in detail under the heading "Diamines and Higher Amines'° in Kirk-Othmer, Encyclopedia of Chemical Technoloay, Second Edition, Vol. 7, pp. 22-39. They are prepared most conveniently by the reaction of an ethylene imine with a ring-opening reagent such as ammonia. These Case EI-6306+
3 0 ~~~~an~~~
reactions result in the production of somewhat complex mix-tures of polyalkylene polyamines which include cyclic conden-sation products such as pi.perazines. Because of their avail-ability, these mixtures are particularly useful in preparing the Mannish polyamine dispersants. However, it will be appre-ciated that satisfactory dispersants can also be obtained by use of pure polyalkylene polyamines.
Alkylene diamines and polyalkylene polyamines having one or more hydroxyalkyl substituents on the nitrogen atom are also useful in preparing the Mannish polyamine dispersants.
These materials are typically obtained by reaction of the cor-responding polyamine with an epoxide such as ethylene oxide or propylene oxide. Preferred hydroxyalkyl-substituted diamines and polyamines are those in which the hydroxyalkyl groups have less than about 10 carbon atoms. Examples of suitable hy-droxyalkyl-substituted diamines and polyamines include, but axe not limited to, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine, N,N'-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine, mono(hydroxypropyl)diethy-lenetriamine, (di(hydroxypropyl)tetraethylenepentamine and N-(3-hydroxybutyl)tetramethylenediamine. Higher homologs ob-tained by condensation of the above mentioned hydroxyalkyl-substituted diamines and polyamines through amine groups or through ether groups are also useful.
Any conventional formaldehyde yielding reagent is use ful for the preparation of the Mannish polyamine dispersants.
Examples of such formaldehyde yielding reagents are trioxane, paraformaldehyde, trioxymethylene, aqueous formalin and gase ous formaldehyde.
Type D - Polymeric polyamine dispersants. Alsa suit able for preparing component b) of the sompositions of this invention are polymers containing basis amine groups and oil solubilizing groups (for example, pendant alkyl groups having at least about 8 carbon atoms). Such polymeric dispersants are herein referred to as polymeric polyamine dispersants.
Such materials include, but are not limited to, interpolymers of decyl methacrylate, vinyl decyl ether or a relatively high Case EI-6306+

molecular weight olefin with aminoalkyl acrylates and amino alkyl acrylamides. Examples of polymeric polyamine disper sants are set forth in the following patents: U.S. Pat. Nos.

mvpe E - Post-treated basic nitrogen-containing and or ~droxyl-containing ashless dispersants. As is well known in the art, any of the ashless di.spersants referred to above as types A-D can be subjected to post-treatment with one or more suitable reagents such as urea, thiourea, carbon disulfide, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, anhydrides of low mole-cular weight dibasic acids, nitriles, epoxides, and the like.
Such post-treated ashless dispersants can be used in forming component b) of the compositions of this invention provided that the post--treated dispersant contains residual basic ni-trogen and/or one or more residual hydroxyl groups. Alter-natively, the phosphorylated and boronated dispersant can be subjected to post-treatment with such reagents. Likewise, the post-treatment can be conducted in between the phosphorylation and boronation or conversely, between the boronation and the phosphorylation. Examples of post-treatment procedures and post-treated ashless disper~ants are set forth in the fol-lowing U.S. Patents: 3,036,003: 3,087,936; 3,200,107;

Mannich-based derivatives of hydroxyaryl succinimides that have been post-treated with CS-C9 lactones such as e-ca-prolactone and optionally with other post-treating agents as described for example in U.S. Pat. No. 4,971,711 can also be utilized in forming component b) for use in the practice of Case EI-6306+

this invention, provided that such post-treated Mannich-based derivatives of hydroxyaryl succinimides contain basic nitro-gen, and/or at least one hydroxyl group. The disclosures of U.S. Pat. No. 4,971,711, as well as related U.S. Pat. Nos.

4,866,141; 4,866,142; 4,906,394; and 4,913,830 are referred to as regards additional suitable basic nitrogen-containing and/or hydroxyl group-containing ashless dispersants which may be utilized in forming component b).
One preferred category of post-treated ashless disper-sants is comprised of basic nitrogen-containing and/or hydrox-yl group-containing ashless dispersants which have been heated with (1) a phosphorus compound such that they contain phospho-rus, or (2) a boron compound such that they contain boron, all with the proviso that such post-treated products contain resi-dual basic nitrogen and/or one or more residual hydroxyl groups. Numerous examples of such dispersants and methods for their production are described in the U.S. Patents referred to at the outset of this disclosure under the caption "Back-ground". The boron-containing post-treated ashless disper-sants of the prior art type can be converted into a material suitable for use as component b) simply by conducting a phos-phorylation in the manner described herein. If desired, addi-tional boron can also be incorporated into a prior art type post-treated boron-containing ashless dispersant by conducting a boronation in the manner described herein either before, during or after the phosphorylation. Likewise, the phos-phorus-containing post-treated ashless dispersants of the prior art type can be converted into a material suitable for use as component b) simply by conducting a boronation in the manner described herein. If desired, additional phosphorus can also be incorporated into a prior art type post-treated phosphorus-containing ashless dispersant by conducting a phosphorylation in the manner described herein either before, during or after the boronation. It is also possible by using the phosphorylation and/or boronation procedures described Case EI-6306+

herein to phosphorylate and/or boronate a post-treated ashless dispersant that already contains both phosphorus and boron, again provided that such initial post-treated ashless disper-sant contains at least some residual basic nitrogen and/or at least some residual hydroxyl substitution.

The ashles s dispersant(s) used in forming component b) can be any mixturecontaining any two or more ashless disper-sants containing basic nitrogen and/or at least one hydroxyl group. Thus, for example, with reference to dispersants of the above types , B, C, D and E, use can be made of A such mixtures as:

It will also be understood that any given type of dis-persant whether used with one or more other dispersant types or without any other dispersant type can comprise:
(I) A mixture in which at least one component contains ba s sic nitrogen but no hydroxyl group and another component of 'the mixture contains at least one hydroxyl group but no basic nitrogen;
(II) A mixture in which at least one component contains ba sic nitrogen but no hydroxyl group and another component of the mixture contains basic nitrogen and at least one hydroxyl group (III) A mixture in which at least one component contains at least one hydroxyl group but no basic nitrogen and another component of the mixture contains basic nitrogen and at least one hydroxyl group; and (IV) A mixture in which at least one component contains ba-sic nitrogen but no hydroxyl group, another component of the mixture contains at least one hydroxyl group but no basic ni-trogen, and still another component of the mixture contains basic nitrogen and at least one hydroxyl group.
Because of environmental and cbnservational concerns it ~:s desirable to employ ashless dispersants which contain little, if any, halogen atoms such as chlorine atoms. Thus, in order to satisfy such concerns, it is desirable (although not necessary from a performance standpoint) to select ashless dispersants (as well as the other components used in the com-positions of this invention) such that the total halogen con-tent, if any, of the overall lubricant or functional fluid composition does not exceed 100 ppm. Indeed, the lower the better. Likewise, it is preferable in accordance with this invention, to provide additive concentrates which, when dissolved in a halogen-free base oil, at a concentration of 10% by weight, yield an oleaginous composition in which the total halogen content, if any, is 100 ppm or less.
Suitable compounds of boron useful in forming the phosphorylated and boronated ashless dispersants for use as Case EI-6306+

component b) include, fox example, baron acids, boron oxides, boron esters, and amine or ammonium salts of boron acids.
Illustrative compounds include boric acid (sometimes referred to as orthoboric acid), boronic acid, tetraboric acid, meta-boric acid, pyroboric acid, esters of such acids, such as mono-, di-~, and tri-arganic esters with alcohols or polyols having up to 20 or more carbon atoms (e. g., methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, propanol, butanols, pentanols, hexanols, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, trimethylol propane, diethanol amine, etc.), boron oxides such as boric oxide and boron oxide hydrate, and ammonium salts such as ammonium borate, ammonium pyroborate, etc. While usable, boron halides such as boron trifluoride, boron trichloride, and the like, are undesirable as they tend to introduce halogen atoms into the boronated ~.5 dispersant, a feature which is detrimental from the environ-mental, toxicological and conservational standpoints. Amine borane addition compounds and hydrocarbyl boranes can also be used, although they tend to be relatively expensive. The pre-ferred boron reagent is boric acid, H3B03.

Producing Phosphorylated and Boronated Ashless Dispersants from at least one Inorganic Phosphorus Compound and at least one Boron Compound Typical procedures for producing the phosphorylated and boronated ashless dispersants from (i) and (iii) above involve concurrently or sequentially heating one or more ash less dispersants of the types described above with at least one inorganic phosphorus compound and at least one_boron com pound under conditions yielding a liquid phosphorus- and bo ron-containing composition. Examples of inorganic phosphorus compounds which are useful in forming such products include Case EI-6306+

phosphorous acid (H3P03, sometimes depicted as HZ(HP03), and sometimes called ortho-phosphorous acid or phosphonic acid), phosphoric acid (H3P04, sometimes called orthophosphoric acid) , hypophosphoric acid (H4P2o6) , metaphosphoric acid (HP03) , pyro-phosphoric acid (H,~PZ07) , hypophosphorous acid (H3POZ, sometimes called phosphinic acid) , pyrophosphorous acid (H4P2o5, some-times called pyrophosphonic acid), phosphinous acid (H3P0), tripolyphosphoric acid (H5P30~o), tetrapolyphosphoric acid (H6P4~13) ~ trimetaphosphoric acid (H3P309) , phosphorus trioxide, phosphorus tetraoxide, phosphorus pentoxide, and the like.
Partial or total sulfur analogs such as phosphorotetrathioic acid (H3PS~), phosphoromonothioic acid (H3P03S), phosphorodi-thioic acid (H3POzSz), phosphorotrithioic acid (H3POS3), phos-phorus sesquisulfide, phosphorus heptasulfide, and phosphorus pentasulfide (PzSS, sometimes referred to as P4S~o) can also be used in forming products suitable for use as component b) in the practice of this invention. Also usable, though less pre-ferred, are the inorganic phosphorus halide compounds such as PC13, PBr3, POC13, PSC13, etc. rfhe preferred phosphorus rea-gent is phosphorous acid, (H3P03)~
It will be understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art that the form or cor~pnsition of the inorganic com-pound s) as charged into the mixture to be heated or being heated may be altered in situ. For example, the action of heat and/or water can transform certain inorganic phosphorus compounds into other inorganic phosphorus compounds or spe-cies. Any such in situ transformations that may occur are within the purview of this invention provided that the liquid phosphorylated ashless dispersant reveals on analysis the presence therein of phosphorus (as well as boron).
Optionally, additional sources of basic nitrogen can be included in the inorganic phosphorus compound-ashless dis-persant-boron compound mixture so as to provide a molar amount (atomic proportion) of basic nitrogen up to that equal to the molar amount of basic nitrogen contributed by the ashless dis-persant. Preferred auxiliary nitrogen compounds are long Case EI-6306+
3$ _ chain primary, secondary and tertiary alkyl amines containing from about 12 to 24 carbon atoms, including their hydroxyalkyl and aminoalkyl derivatives. The long chain alkyl group may optionally contain one or more ether groups. Examples of suitable compounds are oleyl amine, N-oleyl.trimethylene di-amine, N-tallow diethanolamine, N,N-dimethyl oleylamine, and myristyloxapropyl amine.
Other materials normally used in lubricant additives which do not interfere with the process may also be added, for example, a benzotriazole, including lower (C~-C~) alkyl-substi tuted benzotriazoles, which function to protect copper sur-faces.
The concurrent heating step or the combination of se-quential heating steps is conducted at temperatures sufficient to produce a final liquid composition which contains both phosphorus and boron. The heating can be carried out in the absence of a solvent by heating a mixture of the ashless dis-persant and one or more suitable inorganic phosphorus com-pounds, or one or more suitable boron compounds, or, prefer-ably, a combination of one or more suitable inorganic phos-phorus compounds and one or more suitable boron compounds.
The temperatures used will vary somewhat de~~nding upon the nature of the ashless dispersant and the inorganic phosphorus and/or boron reagent being utilized. Generally speaking how-ever, the temperature will usually fall within the range of about 40 to about 200°C. The duration of the heating is likewise susceptible to variation, but ordinarily will fall in the range of about 1 to about 3 hours. When conducting the heating in bulk, it is important to thoroughly agitate the components to insure intimate contact therebetween. When utilizing the preferred phosphorus and boron reagents (phos-phorous acid and boric acid), it is preferable to add water to facilitate initial dissolution of the boric acid. Alterna-tively, the phosphorous acid may be utilized in the form of an aqueous solution thereby introducing water into the system to facilitate dissolution of the boric acid. Water (and when Case EI-6306+

using baron esters, alcohol) formed in the process and any added water is preferably removed from the heated mixture by vacuum distillation at temperatures of from about 100 to about 140°C. Preferably the heating step or steps will be conducted in a diluent oil or other inert liquid medium such as light mineral oils, and the like.
The amount of phosphorus compound employed in the hea-ting process ranges from about 0.001 mole to 0.999 mole per mole of basic nitrogen and free hydroxyl in the mixture being heated, up to one half of which may be contributed by an auxi-liary nitrogen compound. The amount of boron compound em-ployed ranges from about 0.001 mole to about 1 mole per mole of basic nitrogen and/or hydroxyl in the mixture which is in excess of the molar amount of inorganic phosphorus compound.
When conducting the phosphorylation and boronation on a se-quential basis (or when conducting one of these operations on a dispersant which has previously been subjected to the other such operation), the last-to-be-used reagent(s) -- inorganic phosphorus compounds) or boron compound(s), as the case may be -- can be used in an amount equivalent to (or even in ex-cess of) the amount of basic nitrogen and/or hydroxyl groups in the dispersant being heated with such last-to-be-used x~ra-gent(s).
When used, the amount of added water is not particu larly critical as it is removed by distillation during the course of, or at the end of, the heating step. Amounts of up to 1% by weight of the mixture being heated are preferred.
When used, the amount of diluent usually ranges from about 10 to about 50% by weight of the mixture being subjected to heating.
When conducting the preferred concurrent heating step for production of component b) , it is desirable to employ pro-cedures such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,857,214.
When forming component b) in part by use of one or more organic phosphorus compounds such as one or more organic phosphates (e. g., trihydrocarbyl phosphates, dihydrocarbyl Case EI-6306+

monoacid phosphates, monohydrocarbyl diacid phosphates, or mixtures thereof), phosphites (e. g., trihydrocarbyl phos-phites, dihydrocarbyl hydrogen phosphites, hydrocarbyl diacid phosphites, or mixtures thereof), phosphonates (e. g., hydro-carbyl phosphonic acids, mono- and/or dihydrocarbyl esters of phosphonic acids, or mixtures thereof), phosphonites (e. g., hydrocarbyl phosphinic acids, mono- and/or dihydrocarbyl es-ters of phosphinic acids, or mixtures thereof), etc., or the partial or total sulfur analogs thereof, and in part by use of one or more inorganic phosphorus compounds, the latter should be used in an amount sufficient to provide at least 10% (pre-ferably at least 50% and more preferably at least 75%) of the total content of phosphorus in the phosphorylated and boro-nated dispersant. For crankcase lubricant usage, component b) when in the undiluted state preferably contains at least 3, 000 ppm (more preferably at least 5, 000 ppm and most preferably at least 7,000 ppm) of phosphorus and at least 1,500 ppm (more preferably at least 2,500 ppm and most preferably at least 3,500 ppm) of born.
The preparation from (i) and (iii) of phosphorylated and boronated ashless dispersants suitable for use as compo-nent b) in the c~.npositions of this invention is illustrated by the following examples in which all parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise clearly specified.

A mixture is formed from 260 parts of a commercial succinimide ashless dispersant (HiTEC~ 644 dispersant; Ethyl Petroleum Additives, Inc.; Ethyl Petroleum Additives, Ltd.), 100 parts of a 100 Solvent Neutral refined mineral oil dilu-ent, 8 parts of phosphorous acid, 3.5 parts of tolutriazole, 8 parts of boric acid, aid 3:0 parts of water. The mixture is heated at 100 ° C for two hours until all of the solid materials are dissolved. A vacuum of 40 mm Hg is gradually drawn on the product to remove the water while the temperature is slowly * Trade-mark Case EI-6306+

The procedure of Example A-1 is repeated except that the succinimide ashless dispersant used is derived from poly butene having a number average molecular weight of 1,100. The average number of succinic groups per alkenyl group in the succinimide is approximately 1.2.

The procedure of Example A-1 is repeated except that the succinimide ashless dispersant is replaced by an equal amount of a Mannich polyamine dispersant (AMOCO~ 9250 disper sant; Amoco Corporation). The AMOCO 9250 dispersant as sup plied by the manufacturer is believed to be a boronated dis persant and in such case, anotheL material suitable for use as component b) can be formed by ei:iminating the boric acid and water from the procedure used in this example and thereby conducting phosphorylation on an already boronated dispersant.

The procedure of Example A-1 is repeated except that the succinimide ashless dispersant is replaced by an equal amount of a commercial ashless dispersant of the pentaerythri tol succinic ester type (Lubrizol~ 936 dispersant; The Lubri zol Corporation). As in the case of Example A-4, the initial dispersant as supplied by the manufacturer is believed to be a boronated dispersant. In such cases, the dispersant can, if desired, be subjected just to phosphorylation to thereby form still another product suitable for use as component b).

Producing Phosphorylated and Boronated Ashless Dispersants from Water and at least one Water-Hydrolyzable Organic Phosphorus Compound and at least one Boron Compound Typical procedures for producing the phosphorylated and boronated ashless ~dispersants from (ii) and (iii) above involve concurrently or sequentially heating one or more ash-less dispersants of the types described above with (ii) water and at least one water-hydrolyzable organic phosphorus com-pound and (iii) at least one boron compound under canditions yielding a liquid phosphorus- and boron-containing composi-tion. Examples of organic phosphorus compounds which are useful in forming such products include mono-, di-, and tri-esters of phosphoric acid (e. g., trihydrocarbyl phosphates, dihydrocarbyl monoacid phosphates, monohydrocarbyl diacid phosphates, and mixtures thereof), mono-, di-, and triesters of phosphorous acid (e. g., trihydrocarbyl phosphates, dihydro-carbyl hydrogen phosphates, hydrocarbyl diacid phosphates, and mixtures thereof) , esters of phosphonic acids (both"primary", RP(O)(OR)z, and "secondary", RzP(O)(OR)), esters of phosphinic acids, phosphonyl halides (e. g., RP(O)Clz and RZP(O)C1), halo-Case EI-630o+

phosphates (e.g., (RO)PClz and (RO)ZPCl), halophosphates (e.g., ROP(O)C12 and (RO)ZP(O)C1), tertiary pyrophosphate esters (e. g., (RO)2P(0)-O-P(0)(OR)2), and the total or partial sulfur analogs of any of the foregoing organic phosphorus compounds, and the like. Also usable, although less preferred, are the halophosphine halides (e. g., hydrocarbyl phosphorus tetraha-lides, dihydrocarbyl phosphorus trihalides, and trihydrocarbyl phosphorus dihalides), and 'the halophosphines (monohalophos-phines and dihalophosphines). By "water-hydrolyzable" is meant that the organic phosphorus compound when boiled at atmospheric pressure for a period of 5 hours with either (a) distilled water, or (b) water adjusted to at least one pH
between 1 and 7 by use of HzS04, or (c) water adjusted to at least one pH between 7 and 13 with KOH, is hydrolyzed to the extent of at least 50 mole %. In some cases, hydrolysis of certain types of organophosphorus compounds results in can-comitant oxidation, and compounds which undergo both hydroly-sis and oxidation under the foregoing conditions are usable in forming the phosphorylated dispersants for use in this inven-tion. Likewise, certain sulfur-containing organophosphorus com~~ounds undergo loss of sulfur under hydrolysis conditions.
He.-.rh again, compounds of this type are suitable for use in forming the phosphorylated dispersants used in the practice of -this invention. Considerable information exists in the lite-rature concerning hydrolysis of organophosphorus compounds --see for example Kosolapoff, Oraanophas~horus Compounds, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1950 (and pertinent references cited therein), Van Wazer, Phosphorus and its Compounds, Intersci-ence Publishers, Inc., Vol. I: Chemistry, 1958 (and pertinent references cited therein), and Vojvodic, et a1, Arch.

Other materials normally used in lubricant additives which do not interfere with the process may also be added, for example, a benzotriazole, including lower (C~-C4) alkyl-substi tuted benzotriazoles, which function to protect copper sur faces.
The concurrent heating step or the combination of se quential heating steps is conducted at temperatures sufficient to produce a final liquid composition which contains both phosphorus and r.,o:~-on. The heating can be carried out in the absence of a solvent by heating a mixture of the ashless dis persant, water and one or more suitable organic phosphorus compounds, or one or more suitable boron compounds, or, pre-ferably, a combination of water, one or more suitable organic phosphorus compounds and one or more suitable boron compounds.
The temperatures used will vary somewhat depending upon the nature of the ashless dispersant and the organic phosphorus and/or boron reagent being utilized. Generally speaking how°
ever, the temperature will usually fall within the range of about 40 to about 200°C. The duration of the heating is like-wise susceptible to variation, but ordinarily will fall in the range of about 1 to about 3 hours. When conducting the heat-ing in bulk, it is important to thoroughly agitate the compo-nents to insure intimate contact therebetween. When utilizing Case EI-6306~-the preferred boron reagent (boric acid) in a boronation con-ducted separately from the phosphorylation, it is preferable to add water with the boric acid to facilitate initial disso-lution of the boric acid.
Various methods can be used for removing water from component b) during or after its formation. The preferred method involves applying a suitable vacuum to the reaction system while heating 'the water-containing mixture to a suita-bly elevated temperature. In this way the water is readily stripped off. When conducting the phosphorylation (separately or concurrently with boronation) using a phosphorus ester made from a lower alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, 2-propanol, butanol, isobutyl alcohol, etc., both lower alcahol liberated in the process and water can be stripped off from the product mixture during or on completion of the heating operation. For example, water and relatively volatile alco-hols formed in the hydrolysis process and the added water are preferably removed from the heated mixture by vacuum distilla-tion at temperatures of from about 100 to about 140°C. Pre-ferably the heating step or steps will be conducted in a dilu-ent oil or other inert liquid medium such as light mineral oils, and the like.
The amount of phosphorus compound employed in the heating process ranges from about 0.001 mole to 0.999 mole per mole of basic nitrogen and free hydroxyl in the mixture being heated, up to one half of which may be contributed by an aux-iliary nitrogen compound. The amount of boron compound em-ployed ranges from about 0.001 mole to about 1 mole per mole of basic nitrogen and/or hydroxyl in the mixture which is in excess of the molar amount of inorganic phosphorus compound.
When conducting the phosphorylation and boronation on a se-quential basis (or when conducting one of these operations on a dispersan~t which has previously been subjected to the other such operation), the last-to-be-used reagent(s) -- water and organic phosphorus compounds) or boron compound(s), as the case may be -- can be used in an amount equivalent to (or even Case EI-6306+

in excess of) the amount of basic nitrogen and/or hydroxyl groups in the dispersant being heated with such last-to-be-used reagent(s).
As noted above, insofar as the phosphorylation is concerned, it is preferable to heat the ashless di5persant with one or more water-hydrolyzable organic phosphorus com pounds in the presence of water. In this case the water can be added before and/or during the heating step, and before, after, or at 'the same time one or more phosphorus compounds are introduced into the vessel in which the heating is taking place or is to take place. It is also possible to heat the ashless dispersant with the organic phosphorus compound and then subsequently heat the resultant composition with water, although this procedure is less preferred.
The amount of added water is not particularly critical as long as a sufficient amount is present to effect hydrolysis of the water-hydrolyzable organic phosphorus compound. Water present in the system can be removed by distillation (prefera-bly at reduced pressure) during the course of, and preferably is removed at the end of, the heating step. Amounts of water up to 15% by weight of the mixture being heated .are preferred, and amounts of water of up to 5% by weight a..r,.: particularly preferred. When used, the amount of diluent usually ranges from about 10 to about 50% by weight of the mixture being subjected to heating.
The hydrolysis of the water-hydrolyzable organic phos-phorus compounds) employed in the phosphorylation operation can be effected in any of a variety of ways. For example, the dispersant to be phosphorylated, one or more water-hydrolyza-ble organic phosphorus compounds, and water may be mixed toge-ther and heated either in an open system at atmospheric pres-sure or in a closed system at superatmospheric pressure. If conducted with an open system, the temperature may be kept below the boiling point of water and the mixture subjected to stirring of sufficient intensity to cause and maintain inti-mate contact among the components within the hydrolysis reac-Case EI-6300+

tion mixture. It is also feasible to raise the temperature of the mixture in an open system to the boiling point of water and allow the water vapor either to escape from the system or to be condensed in a suitable condensing system and returned to the refluxing hydrolysis reaction mixture. If the water is allowed to escape, sufficiently large amounts of water should be used to insure that a substantial amount of hydrolysis occurs before the supply of water in the hydrolysis mixture has been depleted. In all such cases, water can be fed to the system as an initial complete charge or it can be fed inter-mittently or continuously into the hydrolysis mixture.
When conducting the hydrolysis in a closed system, the system may be kept at one or more selected autogenous pres-sures by suitable adjustment and regulation of the tempera-ture. And, still higher pressures may be imposed upon the system, as fox example by injecting high pressure steam into a sealed autoclave containing the hydrolysis reaction mixture.
The water itself may be charged to the system in any suitable form, such as in the form of liquid water, steam, or even ice. Similarly, the water may be introduced in the form of hydrated solids so that the water is released by the appli-cation of heat during the course of the hydrolysis operat5:c~n.
Injection of wet steam into a well-agitated hydrolysis system is one preferred way of conducting the operation.
The hydrolysis operation should be conducted under any given set or sequence of hydrolysis conditions for a period of time long enough that at least 10%, preferably at least 50%, and most preferably at least 75%, of the organic phosphorus compounds) present in the hydrolysis mixture have been hydro-lyzed. The nature of the hydrolysis products can be expected to vary in relation to the type of phosphorus compound (s) used and the severity of the hydrolysis conditions imposed upon the hydrolysis system. Thus inorganic and organic hydrolysis pro-ducts can be formed in the system, and these in turn can be expected to be taken up by the ashless dispersant(s) present in the system substantially as they are formed. Accordingly, Case EI-6306+

although the chemical structures) of the phosphorylated dis-persant(s) are not known with absolute certainty, it is rea-sonable to conclude that at least some interaction occurs be-tween the dispersant(s) and organic and/or inorganic phospho-rus-containing species formed in the hydrolysis reactions taking place in the system. It is also conceivable that such interacted components may undergo displacements and/or other forms of interactions with components present in the hydroly-sis system as the hydrolysis operation proceeds.
~s pointed out above, the phosphorylation may be con-ducted apart from the boronation, or it may be conducted con-currently with the boronation. When performing the phosphory-lation and boronation operations concurrently, any~of the foregoing hydrolysis procedures can be utilized, the principal difference being that one or more boron compounds are used in combination with one or more water-hydrolyzable organic phos-phorus compounds.
If desired, small amounts of one or more acids (e. g., sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, etc.) or bases (e. g., NaOH, KOH, ammonium hydroxide, etc.) may be added to the hydrolysis mixture to facilitate hydrolysis of the or-ganic phosphorus compounds) being used.
When forming component b) in part by use of one or more inorganic phosphorus compounds such as phosphorous acid (H3P03, sometimes depicted as HZ (HP03) , and sometimes called ortho-phosphorous acid or phosphonic acid), phosphoric acid (H3P04, sometimes called orthophospharic acid), hypophosphorous acid (H3P02, sometimes called phosphinic acid), hypophosphoric acid (H4P206), metaphosphoric acid (HP03), pyrophosphoric acid (H4P207) , pyrophosphorous acid (H~P~OS, sometimes called pyro-phosphonic acid), phosphinous said (H3P0), tripolyphosphoric acid (H5P3o~o) , tetrapolyphosphoric acid (H6P4o13) , trimetaphos-phoric acid (H3P309), phasphorus trioxide, phosphorus tetrox-ide, phosphorus pentoxide, and/or partial or total sulfur analogs of the foregoing such as phosphorotetrathioic acid (H3PS~) , phosphoromonothioic acid (H3P03S) , phosphorodithioic Case EI-6306+

acid (H3POzSz) , phosphorotrithioic acid (H3POS3) , phosphorus sesquisulfide, phosphorus heptasulfide, and phosphorus penta-sulfide (PzSS, sometimes referred to as P4S~o) , or the like, and in part by use of one or more water-hydrolyzable organic phos-phorus compounds, the latter should be used in an amount suf-ficient to provide at least 10% (preferably at least 50% and more preferably at least 75%) of the total phosphorus content of the phosphorylated and boronated dispersant. For crankcase lubricant usage, component b) when in the undiluted state pre-ferably contains at least 3000 ppm (more preferably at least 5000 ppm and most preferably at least 7000 ppm) of phosphorus and at least 1500 ppm (more preferably at least 2500 ppm and most preferably at least 3500 ppm) of boron.

The: procedure of Example B-32 is repeated except that the diethyl hydrogen phosphate is replaced by 5 parts of di-methyl hydrogen phosphate and 4 parts of phosphorous acid.
A particularly preferred embodiment of this invention involves using as component b) a phosphorylated and boronated alkenyl succinimide of a polyethylene polyamine or mixture of polyethylene polyamines, wherein the succinimide is formed from (i) an alkenyl succinic acylating agent having a succination ratio (i.e., the ratio of the average number of chemically bound succinic groups per alkenyl group in the molecular structure of the succinic acylating agent) in the range of 1 to about 1.3, the alkenyl group being derived from a polyolefin (most preferably a polyisobutene) having a number average molecular weight in the .range of about 600 to about 1,300 (more preferably in the r<xa~age of 700 to 1,250 and most preferably in the range of 800 to 1,200).
Unless otherwise expressly indicated, the following procedures are used to determine the succination ratio of the alkenyl succinic acylating agents utilized in forming such particularly preferred phosphorylated and boronated ashless dispersants:
A. The number average molecular weight (Mn) of the polyalkene from which the substituent is derived is determined by use of either of two methods, namely, vapor pressure osmo-metry (VPO) or gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The VPO
determination should be conducted in accordance with ASTM
D2503-82 using high purity toluene as the measuring solvent.
Alternatively, a GPC procedure can be employed. As is well known, the GPC technique involves separating molecules Case EI-6306+
- $3 -according to their size in solution. For this purpose liquid chromatographic columns are packed with a styrene-divinyl benzene copolymer of controlled particle and pore sizes. When the polyalkene molecules from which the substituent is derived are transported 'through the GPC columns by a solvent (tetrahy-drofuran), the polyalkene molecules small enough to penetrate into the pores of the column packing are retarded in their progress through the columns. On the other hand, the poly-alkene molecules which are larger either penetrate the pores only slighly or are totally excluded from the pores. As a consequence, these larger polyalkene molecules are retarded in their progress through the columns to a lesser extent. Thus a velocity separation occurs according to the size of the respective polyalkene molecules. In order to define the relationship between polyalkene molecular weight and elution time, the GPC system to be used is calibrated using known molecular weight polyalkene standards and an internal standard method. Details concerning such GPC procedures and methods for column calibration are extensively reported in the litera-ture. See for example, W. W. Yau, J. J. Kirkland, and D. D.
Bly, Modern Size-Exclusion Liguid ChromatorLraphy, John Wiley & Sons, 1979, Chapter 9 (pages 285-341), a~.-a references cited therein.
In general, the hin determined by the VPO and GPC
methods should agree within the precision of the respective methods.
B. The total weight of the substituent groups present in the substituted succinic acylating agent is determined by conventional methods fax determination of the number of carbo-nyl functions. The preferred procedure for use involves nan-aqueous titration of the substituted acylating agent with standardized sodium isopropoxide. In this procedure the titration is conducted in a 1:1 mineral spirits:l-butanol solvent system. An alternative, albeit less preferred, pro-cedure is the ASTM D94 procedure.

Case ET-630o+
_ g4 _ The restarts from procedures A and B above are used in calculating the weight of substituent groups per unit weight of total sample.
C. In determining the succination ratio of the alke nyl succinic acylating agents used in forming the particularly preferred phosphorylated and boronated ashless dispersants employed as component b) pursuant to this invention, the determination is to be based on the active portion of the sample. That is to say, alkenyl succinic acylating agents are often produced as a mixture with an inactive diluent. Thus for the purpose of succination ratio determination, such dilu-ent should not be considered a part of the succinic acylating agent, and accordingly a separation as between the diluent and the alkenyl succinic acylating agent should be accomplished.
Such separation can be effected before determination of total weight of the subtituent groups present in the substituted succinic acylating agent. However, it is preferable to effect such separation after such determination using a mathematical correction of the result. The separation itself can be achieved using a silica gel column separation technique. A
low molecular weight non-polar hydrocarbon solvent, such as hexane and more preferably pentane, is used as the sc~.ivent whereby the unreactive diluent is readily eluted from the co-lumn. The substituted succinic acylating agent entrained in the column can then be recovered by use of a more polar elu-tion solvent, preferably methanol/methylene dichloride.
Other Additive Components The lubricant and lubricant concentrates of this in vention can and preferably will contain additional components in order to partake of the properties which can be conferred to the overall composition by such additional components. The nature of such components will, to a large extent, be governed by the particular use to which the ultimate oleaginous compo-sition (lubricant or functional fluid) is to be subjected.

Typical esters of phosphorus acids which may be used as antiwear and/or extreme pressure additives include trihy-drocarbyl phosphates, phosphonates and phosphates, and dihy-drocarbyl phosphates; such as tricresyl phosphate, tributyl phosphate, tris(2-chloroethyl)phosphate and phosphate, dibutyl trichloromethyl phosphonates, di(n-butyl)phosphite, triphenyl phosphate, and tolyl phosphinic acid dipropyl ester.
Among the amine salts of phosphorus acids and phos-phorus acid-esters which can be employed are amine salts of partially esterified phosphoric, phosphorous, phosphonic, and phosphinic acids and their partial or total thio analogs such as partially esterified monothiophosphoric, dithiophosphoric, tr:i_~:'ziophosphoric and tetrathiophosphoric acids; amine salts of phosphonic acids and their thio analogs; and the like.
Specific examples include the dihexylammonium salt of dodecyl-phosphoric acid, the diethyl hexyl ammonium salt of dioctyl dithiophasphoric acid, the octadecylammonium salt of dibutyl thiophosphoric acid, the dilaurylammonium salt of 2-ethylhex-ylphosphoric acid, the dioleyl ammonium salt of butane phos-phoric acid, and analogous compounds.
Higher carboxylic acids and derivatives which can be used as antiwear and/or extreme pressure additives are illus-trated by fatty acids, dimerized and trimerized unsaturated natural acids (e.g., linoleic) and esters, amine, ammonia, and metal (particularly lead) salts thereof, and amides and imida-zoline salt and condensation products thereof, oxazolines, and Case EI-6306+

Suitable chlorine-containing additives include chlori nated waxes of both the paraffmic and microcrystalline type, polyhaloaromatics such as di- and trichlorobenzene, trifluoro methyl naphthalenes, perchlorobenzene, pentachlorophenol and dichloro diphenyl trichloroethane. Also useful are chlorosul-furized olefins and olefinic waxes and sulfurized chlorophenyl methyl chlorides and chloroxanthates. Specific examples in-elude chlorodibenzyl disulfide, chlorosulfurized polyisobutene of Mn 600, chlorosulfurized pinene and chlorosulfurized lard oil.
Supplemental Ashless Dispersants. If desired, the compositions of this invention can include one or more sup elemental ashless dispersants in order to supplement the dis persancy contributed by component b). The supplemental ash-less dispersant(s) differ from component b) in that the sup-plemental ashless dispersants are not phosphorylated and boronated in the manner of component b). The supplemental ashless dispersant(s) can, nevertheless, be a phosphorylated or boronated ashless dispersant formed by using procedures of the types describFC~ herein for use in forming component b) or by using procedures of the types conventionally employed for producing by conventional technology ashless dispersants con-taming phosphorus or boron. For example, the supplemental ashless dispersant can be a basic nitrogen-containing or hydroxyl-containing ashless dispersant which has been heated with either one or more inorganic or one or more organic phosphorus compounds, or a combination of one or more inorganic and one or more organic phosphorus compounds.
Thus, the supplemental ashless dispersant(s) which may be used in the compositions of this invention can be any of the basic nitrogen-containing or hydroxyl group-containing ashless dispersants of the type referred to hereinabove in connection with the preparation of companent b). Use can therefore be made of any of the carboxylic dispersants and/or Case EI-6306-a-any of the hydrocarbyl polyamine dispersants and/or any of the Mannich polyamine dispersants and/or any of the polymeric polyamine dispersants referred to hereinabove. other ashless dispersants which can be included in the compositions of this invention are imidazoline dispersants which can be represented by the formula:

H2C\ ~C R 1 N
wherein R~ represents a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, e.g. an alkyl or alkenyl group having % to 22 carbon atoms, and RZ represents a hydrogen atoms or a hydro-carbon radical of 1 to 22 carbon atoms, or an aminoalkyl, acylaminoalkyl or hydroxyalkyl radical having 2 to 50 carbon atoms. Such long-chain alkyl (or long-chain alkenyl) imid-azoline compounds may be made by reaction of a corresponding long-chain fatty acid (of formula R~-COOH), for example oleic acid, with an appropriate poly«.7uine. The imidazoline formed is then ordinarily called, for example, oleylimidazoline where the radical R1 represents the oleyl residue of oleic acid.
Other suitable alkyl substituents in the 2- position of these imidazolines include undecyl, heptadecyl, lauryl and erucyl.
Suitable N-subst.ituents of the imidazolines (i.e. radicals RZ) include hydrocarbyl groups, hydroxyalkyl groups, aminoalkyl groups, and acylaminoalkyl groups. Examples of these various groups include methyl, butyl, decyl, cyclohexyl, phenyl, ben zyl, tolyl, hydroxyethyl, aminoethyl, oleylaminoethyl and stearylaminoethyl.
Another class of ashless dispersant which can be incorporated in the compositions of this invention are the products of reaction of an ethoxylated amine made by reaction of ammonia with ethylene oxide with a carboxylic acid of 8 to Case EI-6306+

30 carbon atoms. The ethoxylated amine may be, for example, mono-, di- or tri-ethanolamine or a polyethoxylated derivative thereof, and the carboxylic acid may be, for example, a straight or branched chain fatty acid of 10 to 22 carbon atoms, a naphthenic acid, a resinic acid or an alkyl aryl carboxylic acid.
Still another type of ashless dispersants which can be used in the practice of this invention are the a-olefin-male-imide copolymers such as are described in U. S. Pat. No.
3,909,215. Such copolymers are alternating copolymers of N-substituted maleimides and aliphatic a-olefins of from 8 to 30 carbon atoms. The copolymers may have an average of 4 to 20 maleimide groups per molecule. The substituents on the nitro-gen of the maleimide may be the same or different and are or-ganic radicals composed essentially of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen having a total of 3 to 60 carbon atoms. A commer-cially available material which is highly suitable for use in this invention is Che~,rron OFA 425B, and this material is be-lieved to be or comprise an a-olefin maleimide copolymer of the type described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,909,215.
The above and many other types of ashless dispersants can be utilized eith~L singly or in combination in the compo-sitions of this invention, provided of course that they are compatible with the other additive components being employed and are suitably soluble in the base oil selected for use.
Pour Point De,~ressants. Another useful type of addi-tive included in compositions of this invention is one or more pour point depressants. The use of pour point depressants in oil-base compositions to improve the low temperature proper-ties of the compositions is well known to the art. See, for example, the books Lubricant Additives by C. V. Smalheer and R. Kennedy Smith (Lezius-Hiles Co. Publishers, Cleveland, Ohio, 1967); Gear and Transmission Lubricants by C. T. Boner (Reinhold Publishing Corp., New York, 1964); and Lubricant Additives by M. W. Ranney (Noyes Data Corporation, New Jersey, 1973). Among the types of compounds which function satisfac-* Trade-mark Case EI-6306+

torily as pour point depressants in the compositions of this invention are polymethacrylates, polyacrylates, condensation products of haloparaffin waxes and aromatic compounds, and vinyl carboxyl ate palymers. Also useful as pour point depres-s sants are terpolymers made by polymerizing a dialkyl fumurate, vinyl ester of a fatty acid and a vinyl alkyl ether. Tech-niques for preparing such polymers and their uses are dis-closed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,250,715. Generally, when they are present in the compositions of this invention, the pour point depressants are present in the amount of 0.01 to 5, and preferably 0.01 to 1, weight percent of the total composition.
Viscosity Index Improvers. Depending upon the visco sity grade required, the lubricant compositions can contain up to 15 weight percent of one or more viscosity index improvers excluding the weight of solvent or carrier fluid with which viscosity index improvers are often associated as supplied).
Among the numerous types of materials known for such use are hydrocarbon polymers grafted with, for example, nitrogen-con-taining polymers, olefin polymers such as polybutene, ethy-lene-propylene copolymers, hydrogenated polymers and copoly-mers and terpolymers of styrene with isoprene and/or butadi-ene, polymers of alkyl acrylates or alkyl methacrylates...o-polymers of alkyl methacrylates with N-vinyl pyrrolidont or dimethylaminoalkyl methacrylate; post-grafted polymers of ethylene-propylene with an active monomer such as malefic an-hydride which may be further reacted with an alcohol or an alkylene polyamine; styrene/maleic anhydride polymers post-treated with alcohols and/or amines, and the like.
Dispersant viscosity index improvers, which combine the activity of dispersants and viscosity index improvers, suitable for use in the compositions of this invention are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,702,300;
4,06$,056; 4,068,058; 4,089,794; 4,137,185; 4,146,489;
4,149,984; 4,160,739; and 4,519,929.
Friction Modifiers. These materials, sometimes known as fuel economy additives, include such substances as the al-Case EI-6306+
_ 97 _ kyl phosphonates as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,356,097, aliphatic hydrocarbyl-substituted succinimides derived from ammonia or alkyl monoamines as disclosed in European Patent Publication No. 20037, dimer acid esters as disclosed in U.S.
Pat. No. 4,105,571, oleamide, and the like. Such additives, when used are generally present in amounts of 0.1 to 5 weight percent. Glycerol oleates are another example of fuel economy additives and these are usually present in very small amounts, such as 0.05 to 0.2 weight percent based on the weight of the formulated oil.
Other suitable friction modifiers include aliphatic amines or ethoxylated aliphatic amines, aliphatic fatty acid amides, aliphatic carboxylic acids, aliphatic carboxylic es-ters, aliphatic carboxylic ester-amides, aliphatic phosphates, aliphatic thiophosphonates, aliphatic thiophosphates, etc., wherein the aliphatic group usually contains above about eight carbon atoms so as to render the compound suitably oil solu-ble.
A desirable friction modifier additivE~ combination which may be used in the practice of this invention is de scribed in European Patent Publication No. 389,237. This combination involves use of a long chain succirv~.mide deriva tive and a long chain amide.
Seal Swell A eq nts. Additives may be introduced into the compositions of this invention in order to improve the seal performance (elastomer compatibility) of the composi tions. Known materials of this type include dialkyl diesters such as dioctyl sebacate, aromatic hydrocarbons of suitable viscosity such as Panasol~ AN-3N, products such as Lubrizol 730, polyol esters such as Emery*2935, 2936, and 2939 esters from the Emery Group of Henkel Corporation and Hatcol 2352, 2962, 2925, 2938, 2939, 2970, 3178, and 4322 polyol esters from Hatco Corporation. Generally speaking the most suitable diesters include the adipates, azelates, and sebacates of C$-C~3 alkanols (or mixtures thereof) , and the phthalates of C4-C~3 alkanols (or mixtures thereof). Mixtures of two or more dif-* Trade-mark Case EI-6306+
~'a~e~~~

ferent types of diesters (e. g., dialkyl adipates and dialkyl azelates, etc.) can also be used. Examples of such materials include the n-octyl, 2-ethylhexyl, isodecyl, and tridecyl di-esters of adipic acid, azelaic acid, and sebacic acid, and the n-butyl, isobutyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl, dodecyl, and tridecyl diesters of phthalic acid.
Base Oils.
The additive combinations of this invention can be in corporated in a wide variety of lubricants and functional flu ids in effective amounts to provide suitable active ingredient concentrations. The base oils not only can be hydrocarbon oils of 7.ubricating viscosity derived from petroleum (or tax sands, coal, shale, etc.), but also can be natural oils of suitable viscosities such as rapeseed oil, etc., and synthetic oils such as hydrogenated polyolefin oils; poly-c-olefins (e. g., hydrogenated or unhydrogenated a-olefin oligomers such as hydrogenated poly-1-decene); alkyl esters of dicarboxylic acids; complex esters of dicarboxylic acid, polyglycol and alcohol; alkyl esters of carbonic or phosphoric acids; poly-silicones; fluorohydrocarbon oils; and mixtures of mineral, natura? and/or synthetic oils in any proportion, etc. The term "base oil" for this disclosure includes all the fore-going.
The additive combinations of this invention can thus be used in lubricating oil and functional fluid compositions, such as automotive crankcase lubricating oils, automatic transmission fluids, gear oils, hydraulic oils, cutting oils, etc., in which the base oil of lubricating viscosity is a mineral oil, a synthetic oil, a natural oil such as a vege table oil, or a mixture thereof, e.g. a mixture of a mineral oil and a synthetic oil.
Suitable mineral oils include those of appropriate viscosity refined from crude oil of any source including Gulf Coast, Midcontinent, Pennsylvania, California, Alaska, Middle East, North Sea and the like. Standard refinery operations Case EI-6306-t-may be used in processing the mineral oil. Among the general types of petroleum oils useful in the compositions of this invention are solvent neutrals, bright stocks, cylinder stocks, residual oils, hydrocracked base stocks, paraffin oils including pale oils, and solvent extracted naphthenic oils.
Such oils and blends of them are produced by a number of conventional techniques which are widely known by those skilled in the art.
As is noted above, the base oil can consist essential ly of or comprise a portion of one or more synthetic oils.
Among the suitable synthetic oils are homo- and inter-polymers of Cz-C~Z olefins, carboxylic acid esters of both monoalcohols and polyols, polyethers, silicones, polyglycols, silicates, alkylated aromatics, carbonates, thiocarbonates, orthofor mates, phosphates and phosphates, borates and halogenated hy-drocarbons. Representative of such oils are homo- and inter-polymers of CZ-C~z monoolefinic hydrocarbons, alkylated ben-zenes (e. g., dodecyl benzenes, didodecyl benzenes, tetradecyl benzenes, dinonyl benzenes, di-(2-ethylhexyl)benzenes, wax-alkylated naphthalenes); and polyphenyls (e. g., biphenyls, terphenyls).
Alkylene oxide ~:olymers and interpolymers and deriva-tives thereof where the terminal hydroxyl groups have been modified by esterification, etherification, etc., constitute another class of synthetic oils. These are exemplified by the oils prepared through polymerization of alkylene oxides such as ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, and the alkyl and aryl ethers of these polyoxyalkylene polymers (e. g., methyl poly-isopropylene glycol ether having an average molecular weight of 1,000, diphenyl ether of polyethylene glycol having a mo-lecular weight of 500-1,000, diethyl ether of polypropylene glycol having a molecular weight of 1,000-1,500) or mono- and poly-carboxylic esters thereof, far example, the acetic acid ester, waxed C3-Cb fatty acid esters, or the C~3 Oxo acid diester of tetraethylene glycol.

Case EI-6306-Another suitable class of synthetic oils comprises the esters of dicarboxylic acids (e. g., phthalic acid, succinic acid, malefic acid, azelaic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, linoleic acid dimer) with a variety of alcohols (e. g., butyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, dodecyl alco-hol, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol, ethylene glycol). Specific exam-ples of these esters include dibutyl adipate, di(2-ethylhex-yl)adipate, didodecyl adipate, di(2-ethylhexyl)sebacate, di-lauryl sebacate, di-n-hexyl fumarate, dioctyl sebacate, diiso-octyl azelate, diisodecyl azelate, dioctyl phthalate, didecyl phthalate, di(eicosyl)sebacate, the 2-ethylhexyl diester of linoleic acid dimer, and the complex ester formed by reacting one mole of sebacic acid with two moles of tetraethylene gly-col and two moles of 2-ethylhexanoic acid.
Esters which may be used as synthetic oils also in-clude those made from C3-C12 monocarboxylic acids and polyols and polyol ethers such as neopentyl glycol, trimethylolpro-pane, pentaerythritol and dipentaerythritol. Trimethylol pro-pane tripelargonate and pentaerythritol tetracaproate serve as examples.
Silicon-based oils such as the palyalkyl-, polyaryl-, polyalkoxy-, or polyaryloxy-siloxaT:~~ oils and silicate oils comprise another class of synthetic .lubricants (e. g., tetra-ethyl silicate, tetraisopropyl silicate, tetra-(2-ethylhexyl) silicate,tetra-(p-tert-butylphenyl) silicate,poly(methyl)si-loxanes, and poly(methyl.phenyl)siloxanes. Other synthetic lu-bricating oils include liquid esters of phosphorus-containing acids (e.g. , tricresyl phosphate, trioctyl phosphate, triphen-yl phosphite, and diethyl ester of decane phosphonic acid.
Also useful as base oils or as components of base oils are hydrogenated or unhydrogenated liquid oligomers of C6-C~6 alpha-olefins, such as hydrogenated or unhydrogenated oligo-mers formed from 1-decene. Methods for the production of such liquid oligomeric 1-alkene hydrocarbons are known and reported in the literature. See for example U. S. Pat. Nos. 3,749,560;
3,763,244; 3,780,128; 4,172,$55; 4,218,330; and 4,950,822.

Case EI-6306+

Additionally, hydrogenated 1-alkene oligomers of this type are available as articles of commerce, for example, under the trade designations ETHYLFL0~162, ETHYLFLO 164, ETHYLFLO 166, ETHYLFLO 168, ETHYLFLO 170, ETHYLFLO 174, and ETHYLFLO 180 poly-a-olefin oils (Ethyl Corporation: Ethyl S.A.: Ethyl Canada Limited) . Blends of such materials can also be used in order to adjust the viscometrics of the given base oil. Suit-able 1-alkene oligomers are also available from other suppli-ers. As is well known, hydrogenated oligomers of this type contain little, if any, residual ethylenic unsaturation.
Preferred oligomers are formed by use of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst (especially boron trifluoride promoted with water or a Ci_ZO alkanol) followed by catalytic hydrogenation of the oligomer so formed using procedures such as are de-scribed in the foregoing U. S: patents.
Other catalyst systems which can be used to form oli-gomers of 1-alkene hydrocarbons, which, on hydrogenation, pro-vide suitable oleaginous Liquids include Ziegler catalysts such as ethyl aluminum sesquichloride with titanium tetra-chloride, aluminum alkyl catalysts, chromium oxide catalysts on silica or alumina supports and a system in which a boron trifluoride catalyst oligu.cterization is followed by treatment with an organic peroxide.
It is also possible in accordance with this invention to utilize blends of one or more liquid hydrogenated 1-alkene oligomers in combination with other oleaginous materials hav ing suitable viscosities, provided that the resultant blend has suitable compatibility and possesses the physical proper ties desired.
Typical natural oils that may be used as base oils or as components of the base oils include castor oil, olive oil, peanut oil, rapeseed oil, corn oil, sesame oil, cottonseed oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, hemp oil, linseed oil, tung oil, oiticica oil, jojoba oil, and the like.
Such oils may be partially or fully hydrogenated, if desired.
* Trade-mark Case EI-6306+

The fact that the base oils used in the compositions of this invention may be composed of (i) one or more mineral oils, (ii) one or more synthetic oils, (iii) one or more natural oils, or (iv) a blend of (i) and (ii), or (i) and (iii), or (ii) and (iii), or (i), (ii) and (iii) does not mean that these various types of oils are necessarily equivalents of each other. Certain 'types of base oils may be used in cer-tain compositions for the specific properties they possess such as high temperature stability, non-flammability or lack of corrosivity towards specific metals (e. g. silver or cad-mium). In other compositions, other types of base oils may be preferred for reasons of availability or low cost. Thus, the skilled artisan will recognize that while the various types of base oils discussed above may be used in the compositions of this invention, they are not necessarily functional equiva-lents of each other in every instance.
Proportions and Concentrations In general, the components of the additive composi tions of this invention axe employed in the oleaginous liquids (e. g., lubricating oils and functional fluids) in minor amounts sufficient to improve the performance characteristics and properties of the base oil or fluid. The amounts will thus vary in accordance with such factors as the viscosity characteristics of the base oil or fluid employed, the vis-cosity characteristics desired in the finished product, the service conditions for which the finished product is intended, and the performance characteristics desired in the finished product. However, generally speaking, the following concen-trations (weight percent) of the components (active ingre-diems) in the base oils or fluids are illustrative:

More-over, such components can be blended in the form of separate solutions in a diluent. Except for viscosity index improvers and/or pour point depressants (which are usually blended apart from other components), it is preferable to blend the compo-nents used in the form of an additive concentrate of this invention, as this simplifies the blending operations, reduces the likelihood of blending errors, and takes advantage of the Case EI-6306+

compatibility and solubility characteristics afforded by the overall concentrate.
The additive concentrates of this invention will con tain components a) and b) in amounts proportioned to yield finished oil or fluid blends consistent with the concentra tions tabulated above. Tn most cases, the additive concen-trate will contain one or more diluents such as light mineral oils, to facilitate handling and blending of the concentrate.
Thus concentrates containing up to 50% by weight of one or more diluents or solvents can be used.
The oleaginous liquids provided by this invention can be used in a variety o.f applications. For example, they can be employed as crankcase lubricants, gear oils, hydraulic fluids, manual transmission fluids, automatic transmission fluids, cutting and machining fluids, brake fluids, shock absorber fluids, heat transfer fluids, quenching oils, trans-former oils, and the like. The compositions are particularly suitable for use as crankcase lubricants for spark ignition (gasoline) engines, and compression ignition (diesel) engines.
Blending The.,.'ormulation or blending operations are relatively simple and involve mixing together in a suitable container or vessel, using a dry, inert atmosphere where necessary or de-sirable, appropriate proportions of the selected ingredients.
Those skilled in the art are cognizant of and familiar with the procedures suitable for formulating and blending additive concentrates and lubricant compositions. Usually the order of addition of components to the blending tank or vessel is not critical provided of course, that the components being blended at any given time are not incompatible with each other. Agi-tation such as with mechanical stirring equipment is desirable to facilitate the blending operation. Frequently it is help-ful to apply sufficient heat to the blending vessel during or after the introduction of the ingredients thereto, so as to maintain the temperature at, say, 40-60°C. Similarly, it is Case EI-6306+

sometimes helpful to preheat highly viscous components to a suitable temperature even before they are introduced into the blending vessel in order to render them more fluid and thereby facilitate their introduction into the blending vessel and render the resultant mixture easier to stir or blend. Natu-rally the temperatures used during the blending operations should be controlled so as not to cause any significant amount of thermal degradation or unwanted chemical interactions.
When forming the lubricant compositions of this inven Lion, it is usually desirable to introduce the additive ingre dients into the base oil with stirring and application of mildly elevated temperatures, as this facilitates the disso lution of the components in the oil and achievement of product uniformity.
The practice and advantages of this invention are still further illustrated by the following examples in which all parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise spe-cifically indicated. In these examples, the weights of the various ingredients are on.an "as received" basis -- i.e., the weights include solvents or diluents cahich are in the products as supplied.

Lubricant compositions prepared as in Examples 24 through 29 were subjected to the Toyota 3AU Valve Train Wear Test, a motored engine test simulating cold start cranking of an engine. The procedure is designed to evaluate cam follower wear -- wear based mainly on scuffing. The amount of camshaft lobe wear and the rocker arm demerit ratings so obtained were as follows:

No. 4,873,004 it is pointed out that to achieve improved dispersancy properties it is necessary to have a molar ratio of succinic groups to alkenyl groups (sometimes referred to as the '°succination ratio") of at least 1.4 when using succinimides made from polyamines such as te-traethylene pentamine and polyisobutenyl succinic anhydrides having number average molecular weights in the range of 600 to 1,300. For example the patent shows in its Tables 3 and 4 that with succinimide derived from polyisobutylene of number average. molecular weight of 950, malefic anhydride and tetra-ethylene pentamine, products having a succination ratio of 1.0 gave inferior results on dispersancy and varnish formation than co:-responding succinimides in which the succination ratio was 1.8. Yet, a boronated and phosphorylated polyisobutenyl succinimide with a succination ratio of about 1.15 made from polyisobutene of number average molecular weight of about 900, can give good results both on dispersancy and on wear prevention.
As used in the foregoing description, the term '°oil soluble" is used in the sense that the component in question has sufficient solubility in the selected base oil in order to dissolve therein at ordinary temperatures to a concentration at least equivalent to the minimum concentration specified herein for use of such component. Preferably, however, the solubility of such component in the selected base oil will be in excess of such minimum concentration, although there is no requirement that the component be soluble in the base oil in Case EI-6306+

all proportions. As is well known to those skilled in the art, certain useful additives do not completely dissolve in base oils but rather are used in the form of stable suspen~
sions or dispersions. Additives of this type can be employed in the compositions of this invention, provided they do not significantly interfere with the performance or usefulness of the composition in which they are employed.
