- Component b It is important to use an oil-soluble zinc dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphate in which at least 35 mol % of the hydrocarbyl groups present are secondary hydrocarbyl groups, such as isopropyl, sec-butyl, and/or 4-methyl-2-pentyl groups.
- an oil-soluble zinc dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphate in which at least 35 mol % of the hydrocarbyl groups present are secondary hydrocarbyl groups, such as isopropyl, sec-butyl, and/or 4-methyl-2-pentyl groups.
- a mixture of zinc dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphates is employed.
- One way of achieving such mixtures is to combine appropriate proportions of an all-primary zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate with an all-secondary zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate.
- the dithiophosphoric acids from which the zinc salts are formed can be prepared by the reaction of about 4 moles of one or more alcohols per mole of phosphorus pentasulfide, and the reaction may be carried out within a temperature range of from about 50 to about 120°C. The reaction generally is completed in about 1 to 10 hours. Hydrogen sulfide is liberated during the reaction.
- Primary alcohols which may be used in forming the dialkyl dithiophosphoric acid intermediate include propanol, butanol, isobutyl alcohol, pentanol, neopentanol, hexanol, heptanol, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, isooctyl alcohol, nonanol, decanol, undecanol, dodecanol, tridecanol, tetradecanol, octadecanol, eicosanol, and the like.
- each alkyl group in the dithiophosphoric acid intermediate typically contains in the range of 3 to about 20 carbon atoms, preferably in the range of 3 to about 12, and most preferably in the range of 3 to about 8 carbon atoms.
- the preparation of the zinc salts of the dialkyl dithiophosphoric acid intermediates is usually effected by reacting the acid product with a suitable zinc compound such as zinc oxide or zinc hydroxide. Simply mixing and heating such reactants is normally sufficient to cause the reaction to occur, and the resulting product is usually of sufficient purity for use without further purification.
- the salts are formed in the presence of a diluent such as an alcohol, water or a light mineral oil.
- Neutral salts are prepared by reacting one equivalent of zinc oxide or hydroxide with one equivalent of the acid.
- Basic metal salts are prepared by adding an excess (i.e., more than one equivalent) of the metal oxide or hydroxide with one equivalent of the dialkyl dithiophosphoric acid. Typical procedures for producing zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates are given in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,085,053; 4,104,291; 4,215,067; and 4,634,541.
- incorporation of certain ingredients such as small amounts of metal acetate or acetic acid in conjunction with the zinc reactant will facilitate the reaction and provide an improved product.
- certain ingredients such as small amounts of metal acetate or acetic acid
- use of up to about 5% of zinc acetate in combination with the required amount of zinc oxide tends to facilitate the formation of zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates.
- one or more of the zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates may be treated with an epoxide (e.g., an alkylene oxide having up to about 8 carbon atoms in the molecule) to form an adduct.
- an epoxide e.g., an alkylene oxide having up to about 8 carbon atoms in the molecule
- zinc salts is a mixture of dialkyl dithiophosphates wherein the zinc salts contain from about 4.8 to about 6.6% by weight of isobutyl groups, from about 4.8 to about 6.7% by weight of 2-ethyl-1-hexyl groups, from about 14.0 to about 14.5% by weight of isopropyl groups, and from about 16.7 to about 20.1% by weight of 4-methyl-2-pentyl groups.
- Another particularly preferred mixture of zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates is a mixture which contains from about 4.6 to about 6.4% by weight of isobutyl groups, from about 2.2 to about 3.1% by weight of primary amyl groups, from about 1.4 to about 2.0% by weight of primary octyl groups, from about 11.6 to about 12.7% by weight of isopropyl groups, and from about 21.4 to about 23.4% by weight of 4-methyl-2-pentyl groups.
- the weight percentages of the respective alkyl groups as set forth in this paragraph are based on the total weight of the zinc salts which, for the purposes of calculation only, are assumed to have the general formula: where each R is one of the designated alkyl groups.
- the amount of any solvent or diluent that may be present in the mixture of zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates is omitted, and the assumption is made --solely for the purposes of the calculations -- that the zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates are not overbased, or treated with an epoxide or zinc carboxylate, although in fact they may be overbased and/or treated in such manner.
- One way of forming a typical mixture of zinc salts characterized by having on a weight basis about 4.8 to about 6.6% by weight of isobutyl groups, from about 4.8 to about 6.7% by weight of 2-ethyl-1-hexyl groups, from about 14.0 to about 14.5% by weight of isopropyl groups, and from about 16.7 to about 20.1% by weight of 4-methyl-2-pentyl groups is to mix LUBRIZOL® 1060 zinc dialkyldithiophosphate and HiTEC® 685 zinc dialkyldithiophosphate in a weight ratio (using both additives on an as received basis) of 1.79:1, respectively.
- one way of forming a typical mixture of zinc salts having on a weight basis from about 4.6 to about 6.4% by weight of isobutyl groups, from about 2.2 to about 3.1% by weight of primary amyl groups, from about 1.4 to about 2.0% by weight of primary octyl groups, from about 11.6 to about 12.7% by weight of isopropyl groups, and from about 21.4 to about 23.4% by weight of 4-methyl-2-pentyl groups is to mix HiTEC® 7169 zinc dialkyldithiophosphate and either HiTEC® 7198 or 7197 zinc dialkyldithiophosphate in a weight ratio (again, both additives being weighed on an as received basis) of 3.29:1, respectively.

Description
- This invention relates to lubricant compositions, and more particularly to lubricants and additive concentrates of enhanced performance characteristics.
- Over the years the demand for performance improvements in lubricating oils and functional fluids has persisted and, if anything, progressively increased. For example, lubricating oils for use in internal combustion engines, and in particular, in spark-ignition and diesel engines, are constantly being modified and improved to provide improved performance. Various organizations around the world as well as the automotive manufacturers continually seek to improve the performance of lubricating oils. Various standards 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 resinous materials which tend to adhere to various engine parts and reduce the operational efficiency of the engine.
- An objective therefore is to provide novel compositions capable of effectively controlling wear and formation of undesirable quantities of such varnish, sludge, and carbonaceous deposits.
- Flexible engine seals are used in assembling internal combustion engines and drivetrains to prevent leakage of lubricants at locations where moving parts, such as crank-case shafts, extend outside the engine block. Accordingly, qualification tests have been established whereby the effect of a lubricant composition on a given seal-type material is measured under a particular set of controlled laboratory bench test conditions. The commercial reality is that the lubricant needs to exhibit good performance in a variety of elastomer compatibility tests to achieve acceptance in the marketplace. Thus another objective is to provide compositions capable of passing such seal compatibility tests.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,080,815 to Fenoglio et al describes dispersants having improved compatibility toward a particular fluoroelastomer. Those dispersants are formed by reacting a hydrocarbyl-substituted dicarboxylic acid compound such as a hydrocarbyl-substituted dicarboxylic acid anhydride with aminoguanidine or a basic salt thereof in a ratio of about 1.5 to about 2.2 moles of aminoguanidine or basic salt thereof per mole of hydrocarbyl-substituted dicarboxylic acid compound.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,908,145 to Fenoglio describes dispersants for lubricating oils that are also compatible with that fluorohydrocarbon elastomer. These dispersants are enriched in alkyl-bis-3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (e.g., polybutenyl-bis-3-amino-1,3,4-triazoles) and are formed by reacting an alkyl-substituted dicarboxylic acid compound, such as a polyisobutenyl succinic acid compound, with a basic salt of aminoguanidine at a ratio of from about 1.6 to about 2 moles of aminoguanidine compound per mole of the alkyl-substituted dicarboxylic acid compound.
- Both of the foregoing patents show in Table II thereof that dispersants made in accordance with their teachings exhibited good compatibility with VITON fluoroelastomer in the Caterpillar VITON Compatibility Test. These patents also show results of spot dispersancy bench tests which indicate that a product prepared by reacting one mole of aminoguanidine bicarbonate per mole of polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride was relatively ineffective as a dispersant.

- Other embodiments of this invention will be apparent from the ensuing description and appended claims.
- The base oils used in forming the lubricant compositions of this invention can be natural or synthetic oils of lubricating viscosity, or suitable blends thereof. Thus the base oils can be hydrocarbon oils derived from petroleum (or tar sands, coal, shale, etc.). Likewise, the base oils can be or include natural oils of suitable viscosities such as rapeseed oil, etc., and synthetic oils such as hydrogenated polyolefin oils; poly-α-olefins (e.g., hydrogenated or unhydrogenated α-olefin oligomers such as hydrogenated poly-1-decene); alkyl esters of dicarboxylic acids; complex esters of dicarboxylic acid, polyglycol and alcohol; and the like. Mixtures of mineral, natural and/or synthetic oils in any suitable proportions are also useable.
- In most cases the base oil is preferably a petroleum-derived mineral oil of the types conventionally used in forming passenger car, heavy duty diesel engine oils, or drivetrain lubricants.
- Component a) . For convenience, the term "AG dispersant" is used to designate a product made by reacting aminoguanidine or a basic salt thereof with a hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic acid or anhydride in a mole ratio of from about 0.4 to 1.3 moles of the aminoguanidine or basic salt thereof per mole of the succinic acid or anhydride compound. Likewise, the term "borated AG dispersant" is used to designate a product made in two stages, namely, (i) reacting aminoguanidine or a basic salt thereof with a hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic acid or anhydride in a mole ratio of from about 0.4 to 1.3 moles of the aminoguanidine or basic salt thereof per mole of the succinic acid or anhydride compound; and (ii) borating the product so produced.
- To prepare the AG dispersant, a suitably proportioned mixture of an aliphatic hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic acid derivative (acid, anhydride, lower alkyl ester, or acyl halide) and aminoguanidine or a basic salt thereof is heated, preferably under an inert atmosphere, at a temperature in the range of about 120 to about 200°C. Preferably the reaction is conducted in an inert diluent such as a light mineral oil. Reaction times are typically in the range of from 1 to 4 hours. Suitable inert atmospheres include nitrogen, argon, krypton, neon, etc. As noted above, it is required pursuant to this invention, to employ a product made using from about 0.4 to 1.3 moles of aminoguanidine or basic salt thereof per mole of the aliphatic hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic acid derivative. In order to prepare borated AG dispersant, AG dispersant formed as above is heated in combination with a suitable boron-containing material such that the resultant product contains up to about 1% by weight of boron. Temperatures in the range of about 80 to about 200°C are generally satisfactory for use in the boration reaction. Suitable methods for conducting boration are well known to those skilled in the art. See in the connection, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,087,936; 3,254,025; 3,322,670; 3,344,069; 4,080,303; 4,426,305; 4,925,983 and 5,114,602.
- AG dispersants are characterized by having a peak in the region of 1590 cm-1. Additionally, the spectrum may exhibit a peak in the range of 1690 cm-1, but AG dispersants can be used that do not exhibit this latter peak. When made at mol ratios of about 1:1 or lower, a peak at 1725 cm-1 appears. The 1590 cm-1 peak is nearly absent in the Examples of U.S. Pat. No. 5,080,815. The chemical structure of the products of this invention is unknown, but on the basis of their infrared spectra, they do not appear to have any significant content of triazole moieties, as is shown by the absence of the 1640 cm-1 IR peak present in the Examples of U.S. Pat. No. 5,080,815.
- Methods are known for producing suitable aliphatic hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic acid derivatives (acid, anhydride, lower alkyl ester, or acyl halide), such as alkenyl succinic anhydrides, to be used in reaction with aminoguanidine or basic salts thereof. Reference may be had, for example, to U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,234,435; 4,908,145; 5,080,815; 5,071,919 and 5,137,978.

The mole ratio of AGB to PSA is 1.2:1. The mixture is heated at 170°C under a nitrogen sweep for 2 hours with stirring. The product is filtered while hot and allowed to cool.
- The procedure of Example 1 is repeated using a chemically equivalent amount of PSA formed from polyisobutylene having a number average molecular weight of about 1290 in lieu of the higher molecular weight PSA of Example 1.

- Component b). It is important to use an oil-soluble zinc dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphate in which at least 35 mol % of the hydrocarbyl groups present are secondary hydrocarbyl groups, such as isopropyl, sec-butyl, and/or 4-methyl-2-pentyl groups. Usually, a mixture of zinc dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphates is employed. One way of achieving such mixtures is to combine appropriate proportions of an all-primary zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate with an all-secondary zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate. Alternatively, a suitably proportioned mixture of primary and secondary alcohols can be used in forming the dialkyl dithiophosphoric acid intermediate used in the production of the zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate. Regardless of which of these approaches is followed, the dithiophosphoric acids from which the zinc salts are formed can be prepared by the reaction of about 4 moles of one or more alcohols per mole of phosphorus pentasulfide, and the reaction may be carried out within a temperature range of from about 50 to about 120°C. The reaction generally is completed in about 1 to 10 hours. Hydrogen sulfide is liberated during the reaction.
- Primary alcohols which may be used in forming the dialkyl dithiophosphoric acid intermediate include propanol, butanol, isobutyl alcohol, pentanol, neopentanol, hexanol, heptanol, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, isooctyl alcohol, nonanol, decanol, undecanol, dodecanol, tridecanol, tetradecanol, octadecanol, eicosanol, and the like. Among suitable secondary alcohols are included 2-propanol, 2-butanol, 2-pentanol, 3-pentanol, 2-hexanol, 4-methyl-2-pentanol, 5-methyl-2-hexanol, and the like. Thus each alkyl group in the dithiophosphoric acid intermediate (and thus in the zinc dithiophosphate salt as well) typically contains in the range of 3 to about 20 carbon atoms, preferably in the range of 3 to about 12, and most preferably in the range of 3 to about 8 carbon atoms.
- The preparation of the zinc salts of the dialkyl dithiophosphoric acid intermediates is usually effected by reacting the acid product with a suitable zinc compound such as zinc oxide or zinc hydroxide. Simply mixing and heating such reactants is normally sufficient to cause the reaction to occur, and the resulting product is usually of sufficient purity for use without further purification. Typically the salts are formed in the presence of a diluent such as an alcohol, water or a light mineral oil. Neutral salts are prepared by reacting one equivalent of zinc oxide or hydroxide with one equivalent of the acid. Basic metal salts are prepared by adding an excess (i.e., more than one equivalent) of the metal oxide or hydroxide with one equivalent of the dialkyl dithiophosphoric acid. Typical procedures for producing zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates are given in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,085,053; 4,104,291; 4,215,067; and 4,634,541.
- In some cases, incorporation of certain ingredients such as small amounts of metal acetate or acetic acid in conjunction with the zinc reactant will facilitate the reaction and provide an improved product. For example, use of up to about 5% of zinc acetate in combination with the required amount of zinc oxide tends to facilitate the formation of zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates.
- If desired, one or more of the zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates may be treated with an epoxide (e.g., an alkylene oxide having up to about 8 carbon atoms in the molecule) to form an adduct. Procedures for preparing epoxide adducts are reported, for example, in U. S. Pat. No. 3,390,082.
- Mixed-acid zinc salts such as described in U. S. Pat. Nos. 4,308,154 and 4,417,970 can be used provided of course that the proportion of secondary alkyl groups in the product is in the range required pursuant to this invention.
- One preferred group of zinc salts is a mixture of dialkyl dithiophosphates wherein the zinc salts contain from about 4.8 to about 6.6% by weight of isobutyl groups, from about 4.8 to about 6.7% by weight of 2-ethyl-1-hexyl groups, from about 14.0 to about 14.5% by weight of isopropyl groups, and from about 16.7 to about 20.1% by weight of 4-methyl-2-pentyl groups. Another particularly preferred mixture of zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates is a mixture which contains from about 4.6 to about 6.4% by weight of isobutyl groups, from about 2.2 to about 3.1% by weight of primary amyl groups, from about 1.4 to about 2.0% by weight of primary octyl groups, from about 11.6 to about 12.7% by weight of isopropyl groups, and from about 21.4 to about 23.4% by weight of 4-methyl-2-pentyl groups. The weight percentages of the respective alkyl groups as set forth in this paragraph are based on the total weight of the zinc salts which, for the purposes of calculation only, are assumed to have the general formula: where each R is one of the designated alkyl groups. In other words, in calculating the weight percentages of the respective alkyl groups, the amount of any solvent or diluent that may be present in the mixture of zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates is omitted, and the assumption is made --solely for the purposes of the calculations -- that the zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates are not overbased, or treated with an epoxide or zinc carboxylate, although in fact they may be overbased and/or treated in such manner.
- One way of forming a typical mixture of zinc salts characterized by having on a weight basis about 4.8 to about 6.6% by weight of isobutyl groups, from about 4.8 to about 6.7% by weight of 2-ethyl-1-hexyl groups, from about 14.0 to about 14.5% by weight of isopropyl groups, and from about 16.7 to about 20.1% by weight of 4-methyl-2-pentyl groups is to mix LUBRIZOL® 1060 zinc dialkyldithiophosphate and HiTEC® 685 zinc dialkyldithiophosphate in a weight ratio (using both additives on an as received basis) of 1.79:1, respectively. Similarly, one way of forming a typical mixture of zinc salts having on a weight basis from about 4.6 to about 6.4% by weight of isobutyl groups, from about 2.2 to about 3.1% by weight of primary amyl groups, from about 1.4 to about 2.0% by weight of primary octyl groups, from about 11.6 to about 12.7% by weight of isopropyl groups, and from about 21.4 to about 23.4% by weight of 4-methyl-2-pentyl groups is to mix HiTEC® 7169 zinc dialkyldithiophosphate and either HiTEC® 7198 or 7197 zinc dialkyldithiophosphate in a weight ratio (again, both additives being weighed on an as received basis) of 3.29:1, respectively.

- Component c) . This component comprises one or more calcium salts of at least one acidic organic compound. These include low-based and overbased calcium sulfonates, low-base and overbased calcium phenates, low-base and overbased calcium sulfurized phenates, and low-base and overbased calcium carboxylates. The term "overbased" is used to designate metal salts wherein the metal is present in stoichiometrically larger amounts than the organic acid radical. Thus this term is inclusive of those material which have been referred to in the art as overbased, superbased, hyperbased, etc. The actual stoichiometric excess of metal in the overbased salt can vary considerably, for example, from about 0.1 equivalent to about 50 or more equivalents depending on the materials used, the reactions utilized, and the process conditions employed. Generally speaking, the overbased calcium salts useful in this invention contain from about 1.1 to about 40 or more equivalents of calcium, more preferably from about 1.5 to about 30 and most preferably from about 2 to about 25 equivalents of calcium for each equivalent of material which is overbased.
- Generally, overbased materials are prepared by treating with an acidic material, a reaction mixture comprising the organic material to be overbased, a reaction medium consisting essentially of at least one inert, organic solvent for the organic material to be overbased, a stoichiometric excess of a metal base, and a promoter. The most commonly employed methods involve use of a mineral oil as the reaction medium and a stoichiometric excess of metal oxide, hydroxide, alkoxide, carbonate, bicarbonate, or sulfide as the metal base. Suitable acidic materials used in producing the overbased salts include such acids as formic acid, acetic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, carbamic acid, substituted carbamic acids, boric acid, SO2, SO3, CO2, H2S, N2O3, and the like. The most preferred acid material for use in forming the overbased calcium salts is carbon dioxide. Examples of compounds useful as the promoter include phenolic substances such as phenol, naphthol, alkylphenol, thiophenol, sulfurized alkylphenol, and condensation products of formaldehyde with a phenolic substance; alcohols such as methanol, ethanol. 2-propanol, octyl alcohol, Cellosolve alcohol, Carbitol alcohol, ethylene glycol, stearyl alcohol, and cyclohexyl alcohol; and amines such as aniline, phenylenediamine, phenothiazine, phenyl-β-naphthylamine, and dodecylamine. Typically, the reaction mass is filtered on completion of the overbasing operation. For a comprehensive discussion of suitable promoters, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,616,904; 2,695,910 and 2,777,874. A particularly effective method for preparing the overbased calcium salts comprises mixing an acid with an excess of a basic calcium neutralizing agent such as calcium oxide or hydroxide and at least one alcohol promoter, and carbonating the mixture at an elevated temperature such as 60° to 300°C, and preferably about 100 to about 200°C.
- The overbased calcium salts can also be formed by overbasing a preformed low base or non-overbased calcium salt.
- The overbased calcium sulfonates can be derived from suitable aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic sulfonic acids and/or the salts thereof. In general such acids can be represented by the formulas R(SO3H)n and (R')xT(SO3H)y where R is an aliphatic or aliphatic-substituted cycloaliphatic group free from acetylenic unsaturation and having up to about 60 carbon atoms; n is at least one, and is generally in the range of 1 to 3; R' is an aliphatic group free from acetylenic unsaturation (typically alkyl or alkenyl) and having about 4 to about 60 carbon atoms; T is a cyclic nucleus which may be derived from an aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzene, toluene, xylene, naphthalene, anthracene, biphenyl, etc., or from a heterocyclic compound such as pyridine, indole, isoindole, etc. Ordinarily T is an aromatic hydrocarbon nucleus such as benzene or naphthalene; and x and y have an average value of about 1 to 4 per molecule, most often an average of about 1. Examples of such acids are petroleum sulfonic acids, paraffin wax sulfonic acids, wax-substituted cyclohexyl sulfonic acids, cetylcyclopentyl sulfonic acids, wax-substituted aromatic sulfonic acids, mahogany sulfonic acids, tetraisobutylene sulfonic acids, tetraamylene sulfonic acids, and the like. Most preferably, the overbased calcium salts are formed from alkylaryl sulfonic acids, such as alkylbenzene sulfonic acids. The alkyl group or groups present on the aromatic ring typically each contain from about 8 to about 40 carbon atoms. Suitable overbased calcium sulfonates having total base numbers of at least about 150 milligrams of KOH per gram of the overbased composition are available as articles of commerce from a number of well known suppliers. One such material is HiTEC® 611 additive (Ethyl Petroleum Additives, Inc.) which has a nominal TBN of about 300.
- Overbased calcium phenates are typically formed by overbasing calcium alkylphenates and/or calcium alkenylphenates where the aromatic ring is substituted with one or more alkyl or alkenyl groups (usually 1 to 2) that render the finished product soluble or at least stably dispersible in oil. The alkyl or alkenyl substituents on the aromatic ring typically contain at least about 6 carbon atoms and may contain as many as 500 or more carbon atoms. Preferred substituents are derived from alpha-olefins such as are formed by wax cracking or chain growth of ethylene on aluminum alkyls such as triethyl aluminum, or from olefin oligomers such as olefin dimers, trimers, tetramers and/or pentamers. However higher polymers such as polypropenes, polyisobutenes, polyamylenes, and copolymers such as copolymers of ethylene and propylene, etc., are also useful as source materials for forming the substituted phenols from which the calcium phenate is produced. In most cases the phenate will have an alkyl or alkenyl substituent having in the range of about 6 to about 50 carbon atoms. The phenolic ring may also additionally contain short chain substituents such as methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, butyl, etc. substituents. Likewise, the phenate may be a derivative of a polyhydroxy aromatic compound, such as catechol, resorcinol, or hydroquinone.
- The overbased sulfurized calcium phenates can be formed from the substituted phenols described above by reacting the substituted phenol with sulfur monochloride, sulfur dichloride or elemental sulfur. The phenol:sulfur compound molar ratio is usually in the range of about 1:0.5 to about 1:1.5 or more. Reaction temperatures in the range of about 60 to about 200°C are usually employed. Generally the phenol:sulfur group molar ratio in the sulfurized phenate is in the range of about 2:1 to about 1:2. The overall process for producing the overbased sulfurized calcium phenate can be conducted in multiple stages as by forming the sulfurized phenol and then conducting the overbasing process which itself can be operated in stages with multiple introduction of additional reactants, promoters, etc. during the course of the overbasing operation. Alternatively, the sulfurization and overbasing can be conducted concurrently by charging the reactants such that the sulfurized phenol or phenate is formed in situ and is overbased as the reaction proceeds. All such process details are well known and reported in the literature.
- Suitable overbased carboxylic acids which can be used in this invention include overbased aliphatic carboxylic acids, overbased cycloaliphatic carboxylic acids, overbased aromatic carboxylic acids, and overbased heterocyclic carboxylic acids. Such acids can be monocarboxylic or polycarboxylic acids, and the principal requirement is that the acid have sufficient chain length to be soluble or at least stably dispersible in lubricating oil. Thus the acids generally contain from about 8 to about 50, and preferably from about 12 to about 30, carbon atoms, although certain acids such as alkyl- or alkenyl-substituted succinic acids can have an average of up to 500 or more carbon atoms per molecule. The acids are usually free of acetylenic unsaturation. Examples include linolenic acid, capric acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, lauric acid, ricinoleic acid, undecylic acid, palmitoleic acid, 2-ethylhexanoic acid, myristic acid, isostearic acid, behenic acid, pelargonic acid, propylene tetramer-substituted succinic acid, isobutene trimer-substituted succinic acid, octylcyclopentane carboxylic acid, stearyl-octahydroindenecarboxylic acid, tall oil acids, rosin acids, polybutenyl succinic acids derived from polybutene having a GPC number average molecular weight in the range of 200 to 1500, acids formed by oxidation of wax, and like acids.
- The preferred overbased carboxylic acids are the overbased aromatic carboxylic acids in which the aromatic nucleus is substituted by at least one carboxyl group (usually 1 to 4, preferably 1 to 2) and by at least one aliphatic hydrocarbyl group (usually 1 to 2, preferably one), preferably derived from a polyalkene, and most preferably having an average in the range of about 40 to about 400 carbon atoms. Optionally, but most preferably, the aromatic nucleus is also substituted by at least one hydroxyl group (usually 1 to 2, preferably one). Examples of such substituted aromatic carboxylic acids include substituted benzoic, phthalic, and salicylic acids. Most preferred of the aromatic carboxylic acids are the overbased calcium salts of aliphatic-substituted salicylic acids wherein the substituent is derived from polyalkenes, particularly polymerized lower 1-monoolefins, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyisobutylene, ethylene-propylene copolymers, etc., having average carbon contents of about 50 to about 400 carbon atoms.
- Overbased calcium calixerates such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,114,601 are also suitable.
- Suitable low base calcium alkylbenzene sulfonate detergent compositions, most preferably low base calcium propylene-derived alkylaryl sulfonates are formed by preparing an alkali or alkaline earth metal salt of an alkylbenzene sulfonic acid and if desired, subjecting the salt in the presence of a small excess of an alkali or alkaline earth metal base such as an oxide, hydroxide or alcoholate to the action of an acidic material such as carbon dioxide so that a small amount of overbasing occurs. This controlled overbasing can be conducted using the same materials in much the same way as the overbasing described above, except of course the amount of metal base is such that the desired total base number of the resultant composition is achieved. Suitable low base materials of the foregoing types are available as articles of commerce. HiTEC® 614 additive (Ethyl Petroleum Additives, Inc.) is a good example of a commercially-available calcium alkylbenzene sulfonate. Low-base calcium sulfurized alkylphenates are also suitable components in the compositions of this invention.
- Component d) . The overbased magnesium salts utilized pursuant to this invention are generally similar in character to the overbased calcium salts. In other words, the overbased magnesium salts are overbased magnesium salts of at least one acidic organic compound, and thus include overbased magnesium sulfonates, overbased magnesium phenates, overbased magnesium sulfurized phenates, overbased magnesium carboxylates, and overbased magnesium calixerates. In addition, the processes by which overbased magnesium salts are produced are in many respects similar to the processes used in forming the overbased calcium salts. However, despite these similarities it is desirable pursuant to this invention to utilize a combination of at least one overbased calcium salt and at least one overbased magnesium salt.
- Accordingly, except for neutralizing and overbasing the acidic material with a magnesium base such as magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide or a magnesium alcoholate, instead of using a calcium base, the process approaches outlined above for preparing the overbased calcium salts can be utilized for producing the overbased magnesium salts. Desirable processes for producing overbased magnesium sulfonates are described for example in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,137,186; 4,201,682; and 4,474,710. Other suitable overbased magnesium salts and/or other methods for producing suitable overbased magnesium salts are described for example in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,647,387; 4,775,490; 4,957,642; 5,032,299; 5,089,155; and 5,173,203. Synthesis of overbased magnesium calixerates is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,114,601. A variety of suitable overbased magnesium salts are available as articles of commerce from a number of different suppliers.
- The preferred overbased magnesium salts are overbased magnesium alkylbenzene sulfonate detergent compositions having a total base number of at least about 300 milligrams of KOH per gram thereof, and most preferably a total base number ber in the range of about 350 to about 500 milligrams of KOH per gram thereof. Since such compositions are formed in an inert diluent, usually a mineral oil diluent, the total base number reflects the basicity of the overall composition including diluent, and any other materials (e.g., promoter, etc.) that may be contained in the detergent composition.
- Other Components . Various other additives can be used in the compositions of this invention. These include alkali metal detergents, oxidation inhibitors, friction modifiers, rust inhibitors, foam inhibitors, copper corrosion inhibitors, demulsifying agents, and the like. Alkali metal detergents include sodium, potassium and lithium alkylbenzene sulfonates and sulfurized alkyl phenates. Oxidation inhibitors include phenolic antioxidants, amine antioxidants, organic copper compounds, organo borates, organo phosphites, organo phosphates, organo thio- or dithiophosphates, and the like. Examples of phenolic antioxidants include alkylated monophenols, alkylated hydroquinones, sulfur-bridged alkylphenols, methylene-bridged alkylphenols, and hydroxybenzyl-substituted aromatic compounds. Amine antioxidants include phenylene diamines, amino diphenylamines, phenyl-substituted naphthalenes, alkyl-substituted aromatic secondary amines, aminophenols, and the like.
- The finished lubricants of the invention may contain pour point depressants, materials which are used in oil-base compositions to improve low temperature properties. 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) for discussions of this subject.
