Definitions
- This invention relates generally to high temperature lubricant fluids and, more particularly to an additive package including at least an oligomeric aromatic amine antioxidant and a borated compound for use with a polyol ester to provide a lubricant fluid suitable for use in applications operating at temperatures in excess of 250 0 C.
- the lubricants In addition to not forming deposits or varnish and possessing stability at high temperatures, the lubricants must perform under high load, be compatible with all materials in contact with the lubricant and be low in volatility.
- Existing commercial lubricants for chain and drive gear operations which are based on vegetable oils or other glycerol-based esters and mineral oil, lack sufficient high-temperature stability.
- Polyolefins or polyacid esters also lack the necessary high-temperature stability. All these lubricants are prone to varnish formation and are characterized by relatively high volatility, as well as severe compatibility problems with silicone elastomers.
- Grease is a lubricating oil that contains a thickener to prevent the oil from leaking out of the area requiring lubrication.
- Conventional greases use a mineral oil or PAO based lubricating oil and a fatty acid-metal salt, clay, PTFE, or polyurea thickening system.
- the stability of the lubricating oil is a major factor in determining the suitability of a grease for a particular application. Difficult applications such as the constant velocity joints of front wheel drive automobiles can overstress conventional greases by exceeding their temperature limitations.
- Additional high temperature lubricant compositions are set forth in U.S. Patent No. 6,436,881 that issued on August 20, 2002.
- the lubricants described therein include a polyol ester base stock formed from a major proportion of dipentaerythritol and a mixture of C 5 to C
- the base stock is mixed with an additive package that includes a viscosity improver, antioxidants, extreme pressure/antiwear agents and a corrosion inhibitor. This lubricant is acceptable for many applications such as static chain oils, where pools of lubricants are subject to continual heating.
- an improved additive package for a synthetic polyol ester lubricant fluid to be used as a high temperature oil or a component in a grease includes an effective amount of at least one oligomeric amine antioxidant and at least one borated extreme pressure/antiwear agent and may include a corrosion inhibitor.
- the polyol ester fluid is formed by reacting a polyol having at least three hydroxy groups and a monocarboxylic acid having from 5 to 12 carbon atoms.
- the resulting lubricant fluid does not require the addition of a viscosity index improver to be suitable for use in high temperature chain oil and grease applications.
- the pentaerythritol is dipentaerythritol and the monocarboxylic acid is an acid mixture that includes a major proportion of 3, 5, 5-trimethylhexanoic acid (iso-C 9 acid).
- the additive package may be added in up to about 15 percent by weight of the lubricant fluid to provide an oil having a viscosity at 4O 0 C of at least about 120 cSt and at 100 0 C of no less than about 15.0 cSt.
- Another object of the invention is to provide an improved synthetic polyol ester lubricant fluid including an additive package including at least one oligomeric amine antioxidant and at least one borated extreme pressure agent suitable for use in high temperature chain oil and grease applications.
- a further object of the invention is to provide an improved polyol ester lubricant additive package that includes at least an oligomeric amine antioxidant and a borated extreme pressure agent.
- Yet another object of the invention is to provide an improved high temperature polyol ester synthetic lubricant including a dipentaerythritol ester and an additive package that has reduced weight loss when subject to heat for extended periods of time.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide an improved polyol ester lubricant oil for high temperature application that does not form hard varnish and undesirable deposits when subject to high temperature.

- the dipentaerythritol and acid composition it is possible to vary the dipentaerythritol and acid composition to provide an ester composition having a minimum viscosity at 4O 0 C of at least about 140 cSt.
- the viscosity of the polyol ester at 100 0 C should be between about 15 to 30 cSt and have a viscosity index in the range of about 60 to 120.
- the polyol ester is dipentaerythritol isononanate having a viscosity at 4O 0 C of about 360 to 400 cSt.
- the acid mixture is varied to include C 7 and C 8 . t o straight chain acids and iso-C 9 acid to yield polyols having a viscosity at 40 0 C of between 120 and 170 cSt, and most preferably about 150 cSt.
- the additive package in accordance with the invention is added to the synthetic polyol ester base stock to form a lubricant fluid.
- the additive package includes between about 3-8 weight percent antioxidant in combination with about 1-4 weight percent of a borated extreme pressure/antiwear agent, based on the total weight of the composition.

- the oil lubricant is particularly well suited for use in high temperature chain oil applications.
- the lubricating fluid can also be utilized to form a grease.
- a thickening agent to immobilize the fluid is included in the composition.
- the concentration of thickener determines the consistency and general properties of the finished product and may be included in amounts ranging from 20 to 30 weight percent of the total composition.
- a wide variety of thickener types are suitable. These include metallic soap thickeners, complex metallic soap thickeners, and non-soap thickeners.
- the non-soap thickeners are organo-clay, polyurea; and PTFE.
- Metallic soap thickeners are usually complex metallic soaps. These include aluminum, calcium, barium and lithium complexes.
- the non-soap thickeners are the organo-clay greases, PTFE (Teflon) and silica gel greases.
- PTFE Teflon
- silica gel greases When polyurea greases are utilized, the oils are mixed with suitable amines and isocyanides or disocyanates making the polyurea greases particularly suitable for high temperature applications.
- a grease in accordance with the invention includes between about 65 to 85 weight percent polyol ester, between about 15 to 35 percent polyurea or other suitable thickener and the additive package of between about 1 to 8 percent oligomeric aromatic amine antioxidant and about 0.10 to 4 percent borated extreme pressure agent. It has been found that such greases exceed 600 hours in the bearing life test at 1,000 rpm and 325°F as described in ASTM D-3527.
- Ester based grease is prepared by charging a standard grease manufacturing kettle having milling and recirculation capabilities with about 40 parts of ISO 400 grade polyol ester, 21 parts of the polyurea thickening agent components and 0.5 parts water and heated to 225° to 235 0 F. Heating is continued to 375° to 385 0 F then shut the heat off and agitated for 15 to 20 minutes. Three parts of a boron extreme pressure agent are added, and the oil is milled with the cooling oil on for at least 3 to 4 hours. After 1 to 1.2 hours of milling, the penetration of the grease is adjusted to a value of 240 to 260 by adding up to 22 parts of ISO 170 grade polyol ester while milling.
- lubricant When preparing a lubricant to operate at high temperatures, it is important that the lubricant not only provide the desired viscosity properties at operating temperatures, but also provide improved thermal stability. Accordingly, incorporation of an additive package to protect oxidation and corrosion and boundary surface wear will result in a highly desirable lubricant. In addition, any polyol ester based lubricant must exhibit compatibility with materials it contacts.
- the polyol ester lubricating fluid is prepared by placing the desired amount of polyol and carboxylic acid into a reaction vessel and conducting an esterification reaction to form the ester.
- the carboxylic acid component is present in the reaction mixture in an excess of about 5 to 10 weight percent for the amount of polyol.
- the excess carboxylic acid is used to force the reaction to completion.
- the excess is not critical to carrying out the reaction, except that the smaller the excess, the longer the reaction time.
- the esterification reaction is complete, the excess acid is removed by stripping and refining.
- the esterification reaction is carried out in the presence of a conventional catalyst.
- tin, titanium, zirconium or tungsten-based catalysts designed for high temperature systems are suitable. Uncatalyzed esterification may also be carried out.
- High temperature lubricant fluids are prepared by mixing an additive package with the ester reaction product.
- the additive package includes at least the oligomeric amine antioxidant and the borated extreme pressure and antiwear agent together with a corrosion inhibitor. Additional additives such as an antifoam agent, detergents, hydrolytic stabilizers and metal deactivators may also be included.
- the antioxidant is an oligomeric aromatic amine, such as the reaction product of alkylated diphenylamine, an alkylated phenylnaphthylamine and an ester base stock, in amounts between about 3 to 8 parts by weight based on 100 parts of fluid.
- the extreme pressure and antiwear agent is a borated compound selected from the group of borated amines, potassium tetraborate, borates of Group Ia alkali metals, borates of Group 2a alkaline earth metals, stable borates of transition metals, such as zinc, copper and tin, and boric acid.
- the borated agents may be included in amounts between about 1 to 4 parts by weight.
- the lubricant fluid should have a viscosity at 4O 0 C between about 120 to 400 cSt depending on the viscosity of the ester.
- the viscosity at 100 0 C should be between about 15 to 30 cSt.
- the viscosity index is between about 80 to 130 the pour point is below about -15 0 C and the flash point is in excess of about 285 0 C.
- a polyol ester of desired viscosity can be prepared by blending a high viscosity polyol ester with a lower viscosity polyol ester.
- a dipentaerythritol hexaisononanoate ester was prepared in a reaction vessel equipped with a mechanical stirrer, thermocouple, thermoregulator, Dean-Stark trap, condenser, nitrogen sparge and vacuum source. The following materials were charged to the reactor:
- the reaction mixture was heated to 185°-190°C with agitation.
- the water-of- reaction was collected in and removed from the Dean-Stark trap.
- the temperature was gradually raised over 5-6 hours to about 23O 0 C with application of vacuum to maintain reflux. This removed the reaction water and returned the acid collected in the trap to the reactor. These conditions were maintained to a point where the hydroxyl number of the reaction mixture was less than 3.0.
- the bulk of the excess acid was then removed by vacuum distillation together with nitrogen sparge and then residual acidity was removed with alkali.
- Viscosity Index 90 86
- a dipentaerythritol ester having a viscosity of about 150 cSt at 4O 0 C can be prepared in a vessel in the same manner as described for the ester in Example 1. In this case, the following materials are charged to the reactor:
- the reaction mixture is heated to 185°-190°C with agitation.
- the water-of-reaction is collected in and removed from the Dean-Stark trap.
- the temperature is gradually raised over 5-6 hours to about 23O 0 C with application of vacuum to maintain reflux. This removes the reaction water and returns the acid collected in the trap to the reactor. These conditions are maintained to a point where the hydroxyl number of the reaction mixture is less than 3.0.
- the bulk of the excess acid is then removed by vacuum distillation together with nitrogen sparge and then residual acidity was removed with alkali.
- the resulting product is dried and filtered to obtain 500Og of an ester product having a viscosity at 4O 0 C of about 150.
- the resulting lubricant fluids had the following physical properties:
- a lubricant fluid In order for a lubricant fluid to be acceptable in the high temperature applications, it must have low volatility and not form deposits or varnish when exposed to high temperatures for extended periods of time.
- samples of the lubricant fluids of Example 2 were placed into an oven at high temperature for an extended period of time and the weight loss was measured.
- Example 2 In order for a lubricant fluid to be acceptable in the high temperature applications, it must have superior oxidative and thermal stability. To evaluate the high temperature oxidative stability the formulations of Example 2 were tested by the FED-STD-791 Method 5308, Oxidation and Corrosion Stability. In this test 100 ml of test oil is held at 425 0 F (218 0 C) for 72 hours in the presence of four different metals and a sparge of dry air. At the end of the test period, the test oil is evaluated for viscosity change, acidity change, and sediment/sludge formation. The test results are shown in Table V.
- a polyol ester high temperature lubricant prepared following the procedures of Example 2 in U.S. Patent No. 6,436,881 was prepared with the following components.
- a lubricant fluid prepared in accordance with Example 3 was compared to the lubricant prepare in accordance with Example 6 in a bench panel test.
- a stainless steel panel is electrically heated by means of two heaters which are inserted into holes in the panel. The temperature is monitored by means of a thermocouple.
- the panel is placed on a slight incline and heated to 540° F.
- the lubricant to be tested is dropped onto the heated panel for 20 hours in the presence of 0.1-0.2 lpm humid air flow. The characteristics are observed and shown in FIG 1.
- the lubricant contacts the panel near the top of the incline and is observed as a central dark band.
- the lubricant then tends to thin out as it travels towards the pointed end of the heated panel. It is along the oil-air-metal interface that the degradation of the lubricant is best observed.
- a grease using the polyol ester of Example 1 is prepared in accordance with the invention as follows.
- a standard grease manufacturing kettle having milling and recirculation capabilities is charged with 40 parts of ISO 400 grade polyol ester, 8.95 parts of an aromatic diisocyanate, 9.1 parts of a tallowalkylamine, and 0.95 parts of ethylene diamine (an alkyldiamine).
- ISO 400 grade polyol ester 8.95 parts of an aromatic diisocyanate
- 9.1 parts of a tallowalkylamine 9.1 parts of a tallowalkylamine
- 0.95 parts of ethylene diamine (an alkyldiamine) 0.95 parts of ethylene diamine (an alkyldiamine).
- the mixture is heated to 225° to 235 0 F and then add 0.5 parts water is added. Heating is continued to 375° to 385°F, then shut the heat off and the batch is agitated for 15 to 20 minutes.
- ingredients or compounds recited in the singular are intended to include compatible mixtures of such ingredients wherever the sense permits.
