Definitions

  • Lubricants that can maintain their structure under extremes of temperature are useful and essential in many commercial, domestic, and industrial applications. Such applications include, but are not limited to, fiberglass production, wood laminating, wood pressing, paint curing, textile production, and food baking. Lubricants can also be used in aerospace applications in which fluids are exposed to temperatures typically exceeding 200°C. Such high temperature lubrication fluids must also provide sufficient lubrication of metal surfaces to prevent wear, reduce friction, reduce energy consumption, and more importantly, prevent failure of mechanical systems.
  • Lubricants that are used at high temperatures must also be resistant to thermal and/or oxidative breakdown and polymerization.
  • Thermal and/or oxidative breakdown leads to the scission of lubricant molecules, which in turn, leads to the formation of lower molecular weight compounds that can be volatilized, depending upon the operational conditions of a mechanical system. This process normally results in an increased lubricant viscosity.
  • an increase in lubricant viscosity reduces the mobility of the lubricant liquid, accelerates oxidation, and leads to the formation of deposits.
  • Such breakdown may also result in loss of lubricant fluid and/or the production of excessive vapors and/or smoke, or ineffective lubrication.
  • Liquid lubricant compositions typically have a base oil to which other additives are provided.
  • the additives impart specific properties to the overall lubricant mixture.
  • One class of such additives is metal protecting additives. These exhibit beneficial properties such as resistance to wear, protection from damage at extreme pressure, and resistance to corrosion. Such additives are also useful for protecting metal surfaces.
  • One drawback of metal protecting additives, however, is that they can reduce stability of the base oils once added.
  • lubricant protecting additives can be provided to the base oils.
  • Lubricant protecting additives are helpful for maintaining a lubricant's structure under operational conditions.
  • the most important lubricant protecting additives are antioxidants.
  • Antioxidants protect a base oil in a lubricant composition and/or other additives therein from attack by atmospheric oxygen, a harmful process also known as oxidation, which produces unwanted free radicals and leads to instability.
  • Antioxidants help to stabilize base oils by helping to prevent oxidation.
  • the effectiveness of antioxidants is strongly influenced by the level of stability of the base oil or oils in the composition. Greater stability of the base oil helps to reduce potentially adverse effects of oxidation.
  • a few types of compounds are mutinely used as liquid base oils in the field of high temperature lubricants, include perfluoropolyalkyl ethers which are highly resistant to oxidation due to the complete absence of extractable hydrogen atoms.
  • Polyphenylethers and alkyldiphenyl ethers are also inherently very stable.
  • their lubrication properties are poorer than other classes of base oils, and they tend to be either incompatible and/or not positively responsive to metal and/or lubricant protecting additives.
  • due to the sophisticated synthesis techniques and manufacturing processes required to produce these materials they are only produced in small quantities unsuitable for large-scale industrial use.
  • Synthetic esters are derived from the reaction of carboxylic acids and alcohols. Carboxylic acids and alcohols can be synthesized to very high purity, and thus, synthetic esters can be designed with very defined structures that can be targeted to provide the specific properties sought in a particular application. Synthetic esters are generally both compatible with, and respond favorably to common metal and lubricant protecting additives.
  • Esters of certain carboxylic acids and alcohols are known to possess enhanced resistance to thermal and/or oxidative breakdown.
  • Two general classes of commonly used synthetic esters with one or more of these properties are aromatic esters and neopolyol esters.
  • Aromatic esters are formed as a reaction product of aromatic polycarboxylic acids, such as trimellitic acid and pyromellitic acid, and linear and/or branched monofunctional alcohols. Such alcohols typically have a carbon chain length of about 8 to about 13 carbon atoms.
  • aromatic esters are prone to oxidationdue to the aromatic portion of the molecule, they can be useful due to their relatively high molecular weight and structural purity that contributes to a lower volatility.
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,465,400 discloses a lubricant composition prepared by mixing aromatic esters with an additional base oil and antioxidants.
  • Neopolyol esters are formed from the reaction of neopentyl polyols, such as neopentyl glycol, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, and dipentaerythritol with linear and/or branched carboxylic acids that are typically about two to about ten carbon atoms in chain length.
  • Neopolyol esters as a class are generally more resistant to oxidation than aromatic esters. They are particularly useful due to their higher thermal and oxidative stability which stems from the absence of hydrogens attached to carbons that are ⁇ to the ester linkage, which can lead to a low energy oxidation pathway.
  • the carboxylic acids used to form such esters typically are linear and/or branched chain acids having from about five to about ten carbon atoms.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,826,633 discloses esters formed by reacting trimethylolpropane and monopentaerythritol with a mixture of linear and branched carboxylic acids having from 5 to 10 carbon atoms.
  • U.S: Patent No. 6,436,981 discloses a high temperature lubricant formulation formed by reacting mainly dipentaerythritol with a mixture of linear and branched carboxylic acids having from 5 to 12 carbon atoms, that also includes a viscosity index improver.
  • 6,884,861 discloses a high temperature lubricant composition including esters formed from the reaction of certain polyols with mixtures of carboxylic acids having a five to ten carbon chain length and/or aromatic acids
  • US4477383 discloses neopenthyl polyol ester of isostearic acid as Lubricant base stock.
  • Neopentyl polyol polyesters that are formed from certain relatively short chain linear or branched carboxylic acids of about 5 to about 10 carbons are particularly resistant to thermal and/or oxidative breakdown and/or polymerization relative to neopentyl polyol polyesters derived from longer chain carboxylic acids of about 12 carbons and longer.
  • shorter chain carboxylic acids employed for forming neopentyl polyol polyester for use as base oils in lubricant compositions are pentanoic acid, hexanoic acid, heptanoic acid, octanoic acid, 2-ethylhexanoic acid, nonanoic acid, 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid (isononanoic acid) and decanoic acid.
  • the shorter chain carboxylic acids are preferred due to the shielding effect provided by the ester linkage that makes the hydrogen atoms on the carboxylic acid portion more resistant to abstraction and resultant oxidative attack.
  • Longer chain carboxylic acids generally possess hydrogen atoms further away from the ester linkage that do not benefit from increased stability provided from the shielding effect of the ester linkage.
  • the resulting molecular weight of the ester is typically limited, which can lead to higher volatility.
  • Isononanoic acid is particularly resistant to oxidation due to the reduced presence of secondary hydrogen atoms and the steric crowding about the lone tertiary hydrogen atom.
  • the resulting esters due to its highly branched nature, the resulting esters generally have higher volatility. Higher volatility of the base ester, and resulting oxidative scission products can lead to oil thickening that accelerates the formation of deposits, especially in thin films.

  • Alkyl substituents contribute electron density and stabilize free radicals. Tertiary hydrogen atoms are most easily abstracted, followed by secondary, then primary.
