Definitions

  • This invention relates to the field of improved thermal and oxidative stability of lubricating fluids.
  • Lubricating oils such as circulating oils, turbine oils, hydraulic fluids and transformer oils as well as others require good oxidation stability and good rust inhibition properties. Extended life for such fluids where desired rust and oxidation (R&O) inhibition properties are maintained for extended periods of use is demanded by industrial users and provides important economic benefit.
  • R&O oils are widely used in turbine and compressor circulating systems. Their thermal and oxidative stability are of particular importance.
  • R&O oils provide rust protection, corrosion protection and metal passivation. Antiwear protection is sometimes needed.
  • U. S. Patent 4,125,479 to Chesluk et al. discloses an oxidation inhibited lubricating oil with a combination of additives comprising methylenebis(di-n-butyldithiocarbamate) and 4-methyl-2,6-ditertiary butyl phenol, said to provide enhanced oxidation inhibition.
  • U. S. Patent 4,125,479 to Chesluk et al. discloses an oxidation inhibited lubricating oil with a combination of additives comprising methylenebis(di-n-butyldithiocarbamate) and 4-methyl-2,6-ditertiary butyl phenol, said to provide enhanced oxidation inhibition.
  • U. S. Patent 4,125,479 to Chesluk et al. discloses an oxidation inhibited lubricating oil with a combination of additives comprising methylenebis(di-n-butyldithiocarbamate) and 4-methyl-2
  • Patent 4,880,551 to Doe discloses an antioxidant composition consisting of a 1-(di(4-octylphenyl) aminomethyl)tolutriazole and at least one antioxidant selected from the group consisting essentially of methylenebis(di-n-butyldithiocarbamate); 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-sec-butylphenol; 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenol and butylated phenol mixture.
  • R&O lubricant concentrate packages typically contain phenolic, amino and other antioxidants, rust inhibitor(s), a metal deactivator, and a demulsifying agent. They may include additional components such as an antiwear agent depending on the final performance properties desired.
  • the principle function of the antioxidants is the inhibition of oxidative degradation of R&O oils that are obtained by blending the R&O lubricant concentrate package in a particular basestock oil of choice. Basestock oils have varying degrees of thermal and oxidative stability.
  • This invention will serve to improve the thermal and oxidative properties of even those basestock oils that are known to have less than satisfactory stability.
  • the current invention relates to the use of certain components. that contribute directly to prolonging the life of R&O oils.
  • a rust and oxidation (R&O) inhibited lubricant composition comprising a base oil and rust and oxidation inhibitors
  • said lubricant composition comprises (a) a dithiocarbamate compound represented by the formula wherein R 4 is a hydrocarbylene group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, each R 5 is a hydrogen or a hydrocarbyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, and each R 3 is a hydrocarbyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms; and (b) an alkylphenyl- ⁇ -naphthylamine.
  • the lubricant composition further optionally comprises (c) a hydrocarbyl phosphite represented by the formula (R 6 O) 3 P where each R 6 is independently C 1 to C 18 alkyl, C 2 to C 18 alkenyl, or C 6 to C 18 aryl.
  • Each component (a) and (b), or (a), (b) and (c) is present in an amount sufficient to provide improved inhibition of oxidation to the R&O lubricant composition.
  • the additive combinations of this invention may be used in any lubricating oil where oxidation inhibition is required.
  • This may include circulating oils used in compressor and turbine circulating systems, transformer oils, engine oils and other oils which are subjected to conditions where oxidation is a problem. It has been found that a dithiocarbamate compound in combination with an alkylphenyl- ⁇ -naphthylamine, in effective amounts, and that combination in further combination with an effective amount of hydrocarbyl phosphite, provide important and unexpected enhancement of thermal and oxidation stability, with resulting improvement in the life of the R&O oil.
  • the additive combinations of this invention can be incorporated in a wide variety of lubricants and functional fluids in effective amounts to provide suitable active ingredient concentrations.
  • the base oils useful herein can be hydrocarbon oils of suitable viscosities; synthetic oils such as hydrogenated polyolefin oils; poly- ⁇ -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; polysilicones; fluorohydrocarbon oils; and mixtures of mineral, natural and/or synthetic oils in any proportion, etc.
  • base oil for this disclosure includes all the foregoing and mixtures thereof.
