Definitions

  • the following disclosure is directed to lubricants, lubricant compositions and additives, lubricated parts and engines, and methods for lubricating moving parts.
  • Lubricating oils used in gasoline and diesel crankcases include a natural and/or synthetic basestock and one or more additives to impart desired characteristics to the lubricant.
  • additives typically include ashless dispersant, metal detergent, antioxidant and antiwear components, which may be combined in a package, sometimes referred to as a detergent inhibitor (or D1) package.
  • Multigrade oils usually also contain one or more viscosity modifiers which are relatively long chain polymers. Such polymers may be functionalized to provide other properties when they are known as multifunctional viscosity modifiers, but primarily act to improve the viscosity characteristics of the oil over a desired operating temperature range.
  • the viscosity modifier acts to increase viscosity at high temperature to provide more protection to the engine at high speeds, without unduly increasing viscosity at low temperatures which would otherwise make starting a cold engine difficult.
  • High temperature performance is usually measured in terms of the kinematic viscosity (kV) at 100° C.
  • ASTM D445 while low temperature performance is measured in terms of cold cranking simulator (CCS) viscosity (ASTM D5293, which is a revision of ASTM D2602) ), mini-rotary viscometer (MRV; ASTM D4684), or scanning brookfield or gel index (ASTM D5133).
  • Viscosity grades are defined by the SAE Classification system (SAE J300) according to the foregoing temperature measurements. Multigrade oils meet the requirements of both low temperature and high temperature performance and are thus referenced to both the relevant grades.
  • Shear stability is a measure of the ability of an oil to resist permanent viscosity loss under high shear - the more shear stable an oil the smaller the viscosity loss when subjected to shear.
  • Polymeric viscosity modifiers which make a significant contribution to kV 100° C., are not entirely shear stable. Such polymeric viscosity modifiers are characterized by a shear stability index (SSI).
  • An oil or additive that exhibits relatively high shear stability will have an SSI that is relatively low.
  • higher molecular weight polymers used in lubricating oil applications have poor shear stability (i.e., high SSI).
  • viscosity modifiers with relatively low SSI require higher treat rates due to their relatively lower molecular weights and therefore lead to an increase in total formulation costs.
  • Multigrade oils often have poor shear stability unless they use expensive viscosity modifiers having low SSI. Poor shear stability requires the oils to be blended to a higher initial kV 100 °C. which may result in poor fuel economy. Accordingly, there is a need for improved viscosity modifiers which are relatively shear stable and more cost effective to use in lubricant composition.
  • a lubricated surface includes a thin film coating of a lubricant composition containing a base oil of lubricating viscosity and from about 5 to about 30 percent by weight of an additive comprising a shear stable olefin copolymer derived from a copolymer having a number average molecular weight ranging from about 50,000 to about 250,000.
  • the shear stable olefin copolymer has a shear stability index of less than about 40, a polydispersity of not more than about 1.5, and a thickening efficiency of greater than about 1.8.
  • a vehicle having moving parts and containing a lubricant for lubricating the moving parts.
  • the lubricant contains an oil of lubricating viscosity and from about 5 to about 30 percent by weight of an additive comprising a shear stable olefin copolymer derived from a copolymer having a number average molecular weight ranging from about 50,000 to about 250,000.
  • the shear stable olefin copolymer has a shear stability index of less than about 40, a polydispersity of not more than about l .5, and a thickening efficiency of greater than about 1.8.
  • a method of lubricating moving parts includes contacting the moving parts with a lubricant composition containing a lubricant additive.
  • the lubricant additive includes a diluent or carrier oil and from about 5 to about 95 percent by weight of a shear stable olefin copolymer derived from a copolymer having a number average molecular weight ranging from about 50,000 to about 250,000.
  • the shear stable olefin copolymer has a shear stability index of less than about 40, a polydispersity of not more than about 1.5, and a thickening efficiency of greater than about 1.8.
  • the lubricant composition contains from about 5 to about 30 percent by weight of the additive based on a total weight of the lubricant composition.
  • a further embodiment of the disclosure provides a method for improving the viscosity index of a lubricant composition.
  • the method includes mixing with the lubricant composition from about 5 to about 30 percent by weight of an additive comprising a shear stable olefin copolymer derived from a copolymer having a number average molecular weight ranging from about 50,000 to about 250,000.
  • the shear stable olefin copolymer has a shear stability index of less than about 40, a polydispersity of not more than about 1.5, and a thickening efficiency of greater than about 1.8.
  • shear stable copolymer as described herein is that the polymer exhibits improved thickening efficient at a lower polymer loading.
  • Another advantage of the shear stable copolymer is that it may be made using an amorphous lower ethylene containing copolymer, e.g., a copolymer having an ethylene content in the range of from about 40% to about 55% by weight.
  • the disclosure may also be applicable to shear stable star polymers based on styrene-isoprene chemistry.

  • the synthetic lubricating oils used in this invention include one of any number of commonly used synthetic hydrocarbon oils, which include, but are not limited to, poly-alpha-olefins, alkylated aromatics, alkylene oxide polymers, interpolymers, copolymers and derivatives thereof here the terminal hydroxyl groups have been modified by esterification, etherification etc, esters of dicarboxylic acids and silicon-based oils.
  • Fully formulated lubricants conventionally contain an additive package, referred to herein as a dispersant/inhibitor package or DI package, that will supply the characteristics that are required in the formulations.
  • DI package a dispersant/inhibitor package
  • Suitable DI packages are described for example in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,204,012 and 6,034,040 for example.
  • additives included in the additive package are detergents, dispersants, friction modifiers, seal swell agents, antioxidants, foam inhibitors, lubricity agents, rust inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, demulsifiers, viscosity index improvers, and the like.
  • ashless dispersants include an oil soluble polymeric hydrocarbon backbone having functional groups that are capable of associating with particles to be dispersed.
  • the dispersants comprise amine, alcohol, amide, or ester polar moieties attached to the polymer backbone often via a bridging group.
  • the ashless dispersants may be, for example, selected from oil soluble salts, esters, amino-esters, amides, imides, and oxazolines of long chain hydrocarbon substituted mono and dicarboxylic acids or their anhydrides; thiocarboxylate derivatives of long chain hydrocarbons; long chain aliphatic hydrocarbons having a polyamine attached directly thereto; and Mannich condensation products formed by condensing a long chain substituted phenol with formaldehyde and a polyalkylene polyamine.
  • Oxidation inhibitors or antioxidants reduce the tendency of base stocks to deteriorate in service which deterioration can be evidenced by the products of oxidation such as sludge and varnish-like deposits on the metal surfaces and by viscosity growth.
  • oxidation inhibitors include hindered phenols, alkaline earth metal salts of alkylphenol thioesters having preferably C 5 to C 12 alkyl side chains, calcium nonylphenol sulfide, ashless oil soluble phenates and sulfurized phenates, phosphosulfurized or sulfurized hydrocarbons, phosphorus esters, metal thiocarbamates and oil soluble copper compounds as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,867,890.
  • Rust inhibitors selected from the group consisting of nonionic polyoxyalkylene polyols and esters thereof, polyoxyalkylene phenols, and anionic alkyl sulfonic acids may be used.
  • a small amount of a demulsifying component may be used.
  • a preferred demulsifying component is described in EP 330,522. It is obtained by reacting an alkylene oxide with an adduct obtained by reacting a bis-epoxide with a polyhydric alcohol.
  • the demulsifier should be used at a level not exceeding 0.1 mass % active ingredient. A treat rate of 0.001 to 0.05 mass % active ingredient is convenient.
  • Pour point depressants otherwise known as lube oil flow improvers, lower the minimum temperature at which the fluid will flow or can be poured.
  • Such additives are well known. Typical of those additives which improve the low temperature fluidity of the fluid are C 8 to C 18 dialkyl fumarate/vinyl acetate copolymers, polyalkylmethacrylates and the like.
  • Foam control can be provided by many compounds including an antifoamant of the polysiloxane type, for example, silicone oil or polydimethyl siloxane.
  • Seal swell agents as described, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,974,081 and 4,029,587, may also be used.
  • each of the foregoing additives when used, is used at a functionally effective amount to impart the desired properties to the lubricant.
  • a functionally effective amount of this corrosion inhibitor would be an amount sufficient to impart the desired corrosion inhibition characteristics to the lubricant.
  • the concentration of each of these additives when used, ranges up to about 20% by weight based on the weight of the lubricating oil composition, and in one embodiment from about 0.001% to about 20% by weight, and in one embodiment about 0.01% to about 10% by weight based on the weight of the lubricating oil composition.
  • Each of the lubricant compositions contained a conventional DI package providing 11 percent by weight of the lubricant composition.
  • the DI package contained conventional amounts of detergents, dispersants, antiwear additives, friction modifiers, antifoam agents, and antioxidants.
  • the formulations also contained about 0.1 percent by weight pour point depressant, about 58 to 64 percent by weight 150 solvent neutral oil, about 12 to 18 percent by weight 600 solvent neutral oil.
  • Samples 1-3 provide the characteristics of commercially available olefin copolymers as viscosity modifiers.
  • Sample 4 provides the characteristics of a shear stable olefin copolymer made according to the disclosure.
  • sample 4 provides a highly efficient viscosity modifier. Compared with samples 1-3, sample 4 had the lowest polymer loading in the lubricant composition (1.32 versus 1.38 to 1.69 for samples 1-3). Sample 4 also had the highest shear stability index (SSI) and passed the MRV tests and CCS test, whereas, sample 3 failed the MRV test and viscosity loss test. Overall, sample 4 exhibited improved viscometric and shear strength properties over commercially available ethylene-based olefin copolymer products.
  • SSI shear stability index
  • shear stable olefin copolymers 10 parts by weight ethylene/propylene copolymer having a number average molecular weight as determined by gas phase chromatography (GPC) of 179,192 and a weight average molecular weight of 332,930 was mixed with 90 parts by weight of process oil.
  • the oil and copolymer mixture was cycled through a GAULIN homogenizer from 1 to 10 times to provide a shear stable olefin copolymer having a polydispersity of less than 1.5.
  • FIGS. 4-5 provide a visual comparison of the thickening efficiency and kinematic viscosity of the olefin copolymer after zero to ten passes with the same properties of HiTEC® 5748 and LUBRIZOL 7077 (LZ 7077) (Samples 6 and 7, respectively). The comparisons were conducted with one percent olefin copolymer in a reference oil having a viscosity as indicated in the table. The kinematic viscosity at 100° C.
  • a shear stable copolymer made by passing the copolymer through ten or more passes of a homogenizer can be tailored to provide a viscosity modifier that meets the shear stability index (SSI) requirement of about 23 (Sample 5), and has significantly higher thickening efficiency (Sample 5) compared to conventional olefin copolymer viscosity modifiers (Samples 6 and 7).
  • SSI shear stability index
  • Samples 6 and 7 mechanical shearing of an olefin copolymer has an added benefit of providing a shear stable olefin copolymer having a polydispersity of less than 1.5 (Sample 5, Table 3).
