Definitions

  • the present invention particularly relates to a grafted polyisobutylene - polysuccinic anhydride based ashless detergent dispersant (DD) additive that increases both viscosity and viscosity index and which can be used advantageously for improving the properties of lubricating oils and to a process for the preparation thereof.
  • DD ashless detergent dispersant
  • the ashless, imide and ester type additives synthesised from alkenyl-succinic acid derivatives have been used for more than thirty years for the improvement of the detergent - dispersant properties of motor oils. Due to their polar and often basic character these additives restrict the formation and surface deposition of the insoluble acidic contaminations formed during the operation of the engine. Thus the life span of the engine and the duration of applicability of oils are significantly increased.
  • the alkenyl-succinic acid derivatives are generally mixed into the lubricating oils together with other metal containing DD additives, with VI improvers, antioxidants, anticorrosion and antiwear components, friction modifiers and foam inhibitors making use of advantageous interactions.
  • the synthesis of such additives is based on the recognition that in the first step of the succinimide synthesis when the polyolefins and the maleic anhydride (MAH) are reacted under specific conditions more than one MAH is coupled to the polyolefin molecule or alternatively the so called olefin - MAH copolymers are formed.
  • the so formed intermediates having more than two carboxylic groups are reacted with amines, polyamines, alcohols, polyalcohols, alkanolamines or their mixtures of various compositions then higher molecular weight polyimide, polyamide, polyester, polyester-amide type end products are obtained (e.g. U.S. Patent No. 4.234,435).
  • a serious disadvantage of this process is that hazardous chlorine is built in the polyolefin molecule during the addition reaction, and referred to the additive, it remains in the end product in a 0.001 - 0.5 weight percent.
  • EP 0 400 866 discloses an oil-soluble composition useful as a multifunctional viscosity improver additive for oleaginous composition
  • EP 0 400 866 discloses an embodiment of said composition which comprises reaction product of (A), (B) and (C) a C 50 to C 400 hydrocarbyl substituted carboxylic acid component containing 1 to 2 carboxylic acid groups or anhydride group.
  • EP 0 002 286 generally discloses an oil-soluble graft copolymer, suitable for use as an additive for lubricating oils and liquid hydrocarbon fuels, comprising substantially linear, substantially saturated, rubbery, olefinic hydrocarbon backbone polymer and graft polymerized thereon, copolymerized units of a monomer system comprising maleic acid and/or maleic anhydride and one or more other monomers copolymerizable with maleic acid or maleic anhydride, said copolymerized units being post-reacted with a polyamino compound containing one primary or secondary amino group or one primary amido group.
  • suitable backbone polymers include ethylene/propylene copolymers, ethylene/propylene/diene modified terpolymers, hydrogenated styrene-butadiene copolymers, styrene-isoprene copolymers and atactic polypropylene.
  • Succinimide derivatives obtained by grafting of ethylene - propylene copolymers have been produced and applied to achieve an additional DD effect beside their main viscosity and viscosity index increasing functions (EP 400866, EP 002286).
  • Successful application of olefin copolymers of a number average molecular weight lower than 15 000 have not been reported probably due to a loss in their flow property improving effect.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that the mentioned drawbacks of the synthesis based on grafting the hydrocarbon polymers limiting the average molecular weight of the applicable raw material can be eliminated by the appropriate control of the grafting reaction.
  • the recommended procedure makes feasible the synthesis of such intermediates from polyolefins of lower average molecular weight and in addition to this the intermediates obtained from polyisobutylenes or especially from their high alpha-olefin containing so called high reactivity homologous are suitable for the preparation of additives of new molecular structure showing higher viscosity and viscosity index improving effect, more advantageous antifriction effect and at the same time exhibit a better compatibility with the sealing materials as compared to the other well known ashless dispersants of molecular weight lower than 15 000.
  • a subject matter of the invention is an additive for use in an oil solution in lubricating oils of internal combustion engines, which contains imides and/or esters and/or ester amides of the reaction product of a polyisobutylene of a number average molecular weight from 800 - 15 000, an unsaturated reactive dicarboxylic acid and/or its anhydride, preferably maleic anhydride, and another low molecular weight unsaturated comonomer,
  • a further subject matter of the invention is a process for preparing a detergent - dispersant additive, wherein a dicarboxylic acid and/or its anhydride, preferably maleic anhydride, and another low molecular weight comonomer with an olefinic double bond or a mixture of such comonomers and/or a copolymer of a low degree of polymerization prepared previously and consisting of unsaturated dicarboxylic acid and/or its anhydride and the comonomer and/or comonomers are grafted to or reacted with a polyisobutylene of an average molecular weight from 800 - 15 000 by an addition reaction using the molar ratio 1.2 - 5.5 : 0.1 - 3.5 : 1 of dicarboxylic acid and/or its anhydride, preferably maleic anhydride : comonomer : polyisobutylene, where the solvent concentration providing homogeneous phase is 10 - 75 weight percent, preferably 35
  • Polyisobutylenes of a number average molecular weight between 1300 and 8000 were found to be the most advantageous.
  • Grafting the polar side chain into the PIB main chain results in a combined polymer structure having good thermal and chemical stability as well as viscosity increasing effect characteristic of polyisobutylenes, and at the same time the cold viscosity increasing effect is decreased significantly due to a decrease in the solubility of the polymer.
  • comonomers reactive, polar and apolar monomers of low molecular weight such as ethylene, propylene, butene-1, 1,3-butadiene, isobutylene, C 5-20 alpha olefins, styrene, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylates and methacrylates prepared from alcohols of C 1-20 , acrylonitrile or their mixtures have been applied.
  • polyisobutylene - polysuccinic acid products prepared from polyisobutylene, unsaturated dicarboxylic acid and/or its anhydride and from comonomer or from comonomer mixture having the general formula I. where:
  • SA succinic anhydride
  • the intermediate consisting of the above long apolar polyisobutylene chain and a shorter, strongly polar, random or alternating copolymer chain is especially suitable for the preparation of the imide and/or ester and/or amide and/or ester-amide derivatives of great dispersing effect, where the derivatives occurring in one polyisobutylene chain could be identical or different.
  • the additive prepared according to this invention could contain components of various average molecular weight in which the average number of molecules linked by the carboxyl groups is between 2 and 100.
  • the additive prepared according to this invention is used advantageously in an oil solution.
  • the concentration of the oil is at least 10 weight percent, preferably between 30 and 80 weight percent.
  • any type of refined oil, lubricating oil or base oil may be used.
  • maleic anhydride and comonomer or comonomers containing olefinic double bond or their copolymers are grafted to the starting polyisobutylenes.
  • the double bonds of the maleic anhydride and the comonomer or the comonomers are activated by a radical initiator and due to the consecutive coupling to the polyisobutylenes and/or due to the coupling of the random or alternating copolymers formed from the maleic anhydride and a comonomer a polymer chain is developed containing several SA groups (general formula I.).
  • the first step of the synthesis of the additive i.e. the reaction of the polyisobutylene and the unsaturated dicarboxylic acid and/or its anhydride, preferably maleic anhydride and comonomer or comonomers is performed in a homogeneous solution at an energetically favourable low temperature, with the suitable choice of the weight ratio corresponding to the molar ratio of the reactants of various reactivity, under circumstances unfavourable for the multiple coupling of the polyisobutylene occasionally in the presence of compounds controlling the structure of side chain containing polar groups.
  • the reaction of the polyisobutylene and the unsaturated dicarboxylic acid and/or its anhydride preferably maleic anhydride and the comonomer or the comonomers was carried out in a solvent containing components also within the boiling range of 110 - 250 °C and in which the reactants and the intermediates were readily dissolved at a concentration of 20 - 75 weight percent, preferably 35 - 60 weight percent with respect to the reaction mixture, in the temperature range 80 - 180 °C, preferably between 120 - 160 °C, within a reaction period of 1 - 16 hours, using 1.2 - 5.5 : 0.1 - 3.5 : 1 maleic anhydride : comonomer : polyisobutylene molar ratio, and applying 5 - 25 weight percent peroxide, with respect to the amount of maleic anhydride, or other type of initiator such as azobisisobutyronitrile or cumene hydroperoxide or if desired, compounds or their mixtures controlling the incorpor
  • organic peroxides such as dibenzoyl peroxide, di-tert-butyl peroxide, azobis-isobutyro dinitrile, azodicarboxylic amide, or their mixture can be used.
  • Compounds used for inhibiting undesirable side reactions such as e.g. decarboxylation, resin formation, or for controlling the MAH : comonomer incorporation ratio could be carboxylic acids with 1 - 20 carbon number, dicarboxylic acids or anhydrides, hydroxycarboxylic acids, ketones, ethers, esters, alcohols, water or the mixtures of these and their derivatives.
  • Isobutyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, succinic monobutyl ester can be applied advantageously. If desired, such additives are applied in a concentration of 0.01 - 5 weight percent with respect to the amount of the maleic anhydride.
  • highly reactive species may be formed that may participate in the addition and polymerisation reactions occurring in the reaction mixture.
  • reaction products have been identified by their 13 C and 1 H NMR spectra using deuterated chloroform as solvent. It has been pointed out that under the experimental circumstances applied in this invention the monomers added to the reaction mixture are mostly coupled to the ⁇ -double bond of the polyisobutylenes. This has been proved by the disappearance of the 13 C peaks at 114.5 and 143.6 ppm characteristic of the terminal double bonds of the polyisobutylenes, as well as the peaks of the 1 H spectra at 4.3 ppm and of the 13 C peaks at 136.6 ppm typical of the maleic anhydride and of the peaks characteristic of the double bonds of the comonomers. Experiments with maleic anhydride enriched in 13 C isotope proved the existence of bonds characteristic of the built in comonomer groups forming the grafted copolymer chains.
  • the solvent can be recovered by stripping out the components of a boiling point below 250 °C and the remaining heavier part, if desired, can be diluted in 20 - 60 weight percent by refined oil, preferably by a refined oil having viscosity of 2 - 15 mm 2 /s, at 100 °C.
  • the solution of the intermediate can be filtered without or with the addition of a filtration aid or filtration improving material in a 0.5 - 5 weight percent concentration.
  • the intermediate prepared according to this invention is reacted in the second so called acylation step with polyamines, polyalcohols, alcanol amines containing at least two reactive groups and/or their mixtures and/or their derivatives by using hydrocarbon and/or refined oil as solvent at 120 - 235 °C, in inert e.g.
  • a polysuccinimide and/or polyamide and/or polyester and/or polyester-amide based mixture of the additive is obtained (such as the polysuccinimide, general formula II.) where one or more components can be formed with significantly different molecular weights depending on the reagents and molar ratios used.
  • the important feature of the additive prepared according to this invention is due to the new structure of the intermediate.
  • this intermediate the presumably reactive SA and other groups are closely located at the end of the long polyisobutylene chain. Consequently, the growing of the macromolecule by multiple or chain like coupling is not hindered sterically, as in the case of other intermediates where the SA groups are randomly located either at the end or in between the polyisobutylene chains.
  • a multifunctional polyamine component e.g. ethylene- diamine, diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, tetraethylenepentamine, pentaethylenehexamine, cyclic polyamine e.g. piperazine, diethyleneamino piperazine or the mixtures of these; as polyalcohol e.g. ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, glycerol, trimethylol propane or pentaerythritol; as amino-alcohol e.g. ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, or the mixtures and derivatives of these can be used.

  • amino-alcohol e.g. ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, or the mixtures and derivatives of these can be used.
  • the average molecular weight of the lower average molecular weight polymer is less than six times the number average molar weight of the polyisobutylene used as raw material.
  • the experimental circumstances of the acylation have to be chosen in such a way as to promote the formation of multiple couplings in the amide, imide and ester formation condensation reactions, i.e. that result in compounds characterised by polyamide, polyimide and polyester structure or by their combination. This can be achieved by keeping the molar ratio of the succinic anhydride group of the intermediate and the component to be acylated in the 0.7 - 5.5 : 1 range, preferably in the 1.7 - 4.5 : 1 range.
  • acidic or basic compounds such as petroleum sulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, potassium hydroxide, triethanolamine, ethanolamine or ion exchange resin, preferably in hydrogen ion form can be used in the acylation reaction.
  • the petroleum sulfonic acid can be used especially advantageously which so far has been suggested as a catalyst only in the preparation of low molecular weight ( M n ⁇ 3500) alkenyl succinic esters (Hungarian Patent No. 205.778).
  • a structure modifying step can be applied as a finishing one.
