Description

Comprise the lubricating composition that esterified copolymer comprises elastoprene multipolymer

Invention field

Example embodiment relates to the lubricating composition comprising esterified copolymer and elastoprene multipolymer.This lubricating composition finds to be used in particular for engine oil as crankcase oils.Also disclose method and the purposes of lubricating composition.

background

Usually viscosity modifier (also referred to as viscosity index (VI) improving agent) is added in lubricating oil composition to improve the viscosity index of lubricant.Viscosity modifier depends on that application-specific combines with base oil together with dispersion agent, purification agent, friction improver, corrosion inhibitor, pour point reducer etc. with other performance additive in lubricating oil composition.Typical viscosity modifier comprises the multipolymer of alkyl methacrylate, alkyl acrylate, the polymkeric substance (multipolymer of such as ethene and propylene) of alkene, vinylbenzene and conjugated diolefine, with maleic anhydride and alpha-olefin or cinnamic multipolymer, and esterified derivative.The viscosity modifier comprising ester group tends to ester functional group to be incorporated in side/grafting/branched groups.Ester functional group can derived from straight chain or the branched-alkyl alcohol with 1-40 carbon atom.The example of this base polymer is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,435,928; 6,174,843; 6,419,714; 6,544,935; With 7,254,249; And in international application No.WO 07/133999 and WO 2010/014655.

Lubricating oil stands vehicle motor part usually, such as, high temperature in bearing and shear conditions.Under certain conditions, viscosity modifier may due to moving parts mechanical deterioration, and partly lose it and improve the ability of base oil viscosity.Deterioration causes the lubricant film thickness reduced, and this can cause accelerated wear test again.When molecular weight reduces, the shear stability of viscosity modifier is tended to improve.But when molecular weight reduces, the thickening capabilities of viscosity modifier also reduces.

Compositions formulated is to realize minimum high temperature/high shear rate (HTHS) viscosity, and protection is in case overwear vt. in oil engine simultaneously.Although abrasion protection is good, high HTHS viscosity lubricating composition tends to the fuel economy meeting with difference.On the contrary, the fluid with lower HTHS viscosity also demonstrates harmonic motion viscosity (KV) usually, and cause the formation of thinner lubricant film, this can improve fuel economy, but affects abrasion protection negatively.

So for strengthening abrasion protection or being improvement fuel efficiency, advantageously HTHS/KV is higher than as much as possible.With this relation; can prepare: 1) there is identical KV but higher HTHS; or in other words there is equal fuel efficiency but the lubricating oil of the abrasion protection improved; 2) there is identical HTHS but reduce KV; namely identical abrasion protection but the lubricating oil of fuel efficiency improved, and 3) reduce KV but improve HTHS.

For SAE30 stage motor oil, lubricating composition can have as SAE J300, " Engine OilViscosity Classification " define the kinematic viscosity (KV_100) of 9.3-12.5cSt.This kind of lubricating composition can have the KV_40 of about 50 to about 70cSt, and must have the HTHS viscosity being greater than 2.9cSt.

Some engine oils preferably use elastoprene multipolymer to prepare to meet above-mentioned motor performance requirement, and these preparatons do not have the problem meeting the HTHS viscosity limit usually, such as, for SAE 10W-30 grade, and minimum 2.9cP.But, for making bearing weather resistance maximize, usually want to prepare the SAE30 stage motor oil with at least 3.4cP or at least 3.45cP or at least HTHS viscosity of 3.5cP.Such as, a large amount of European original equipment manufacturer (OEM) requires the higher minimum HTHS requirement about 10W-30 viscosity grade 3.5cP, and may be to challenge with elastoprene multipolymer preparation engine oil to realize this kind of specification.

It is desirable to provide lubricating composition, described lubricating composition comprises elastoprene and obtains such combination, namely provides the good HTHS about engine pack weather resistance, provides harmonic motion viscosity rub to reduce and improve fuel economy simultaneously.
