Definitions

  • This invention relates to a lubricating grease composition suitable for industrial and automotive uses, and a process for its manufacture.
  • the invention relates to a premium multipurpose grease composition exhibiting favorable water resistant properties, high and low temperature performance, and which is suitable for use in both industrial and automotive applications.
  • a lubricating grease In North America and other northern climates, it is desirable for a lubricating grease to exhibit good performance over a wide range of temperatures. In addition, industrial greases often require good performance in wet environments. Testing methods and performance criteria established by the National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI) have become industry-wide accepted standards. These standards include greases for use in automotive applications. It is therefore desirable for lubricating grease to meet NLGI grade classification. Preferably, such greases should be multipurpose, being suitable for industrial applications and meet NLGI grade classification for automotive application.
  • NLGI National Lubricating Grease Institute
  • a method for making a lubricating grease comprises: obtaining at least one Group I oil, obtaining at least one Group II oil, obtaining a hydrophilic copolymer, obtaining " a soap thickener, and mixing the at least one Group I oil, the least one Group II oil, the polymer and the soap thickener to form a grease wherein the thickener is dispersed into the at least one Group I oil during a cooking phase and at least one Group II oil is introduced during a finishing phase.
  • Fig. 2 is a graph illustrating the favorable fretting water properties of the inventive example over the comparative examples, as measured by ASTM D4170;
  • Fig. 4 is a graph illustrating the favorable water spray off properties of the inventive example over the comparative examples, as measured by ASTM D4049.
  • Various lubricating oils can be employed in preparing the grease compositions of the present invention. Applicants have found that using oils of a certain type during the cooking phase of the grease preparation, and oils of a different type during the finishing phase achieved a grease with favorable properties. Another embodiment of the present invention is the inclusion of a polymer that imparts excellent water resistance properties without compromising the low temperature performance of the grease. Applicants have found that using a hydrophilic polymer provided favorable properties.
  • Groups I, II, III, IV and V are broad categories of base oil stocks developed and defined by the American Petroleum Institute (API Publication 1509; www.API.org) to create guidelines for lubricant base oils.
  • Group I base stocks generally have a viscosity index of between about 80 to 120 and contain greater than about 0.03% sulfur and/or less than about 90% saturates.
  • Group II base stocks generally have a viscosity index of between about 80 to 120, and contain less than or equal to about 0.03% sulfur and greater than or equal to about 90% saturates.
  • Group III stock generally has a viscosity index greater than about 120 and contains less than or equal to about 0.03 % sulfur and greater than about 90% saturates.
  • Group IV includes polyalphaolefins (PAO).
  • Group V base stocks include base stocks not included in Groups I-IV. Table 1 summarizes properties of each of these five groups. Table 1 : Base Stock Properties
  • lubricating oils will typically comprise between 50 - 90 wt% of the overall grease composition. These oils will typically combine to provide an overall viscosity of the grease in the range of ISO 100 to ISO 320.
  • the preferred viscosity for the present invention is between ISO 150 to ISO 275, with ISO 220 being the most preferred.
  • Lubricating oils used during the cooking and finishing phases can be either mineral or synthetic.
  • Mineral oils can be any conventionally refined base stocks derived from paraffinic, naphthenic and mixed based crudes.
  • Synthetic lubricating oils that can be used include esters of glycols such as a C] 3 oxo acid diester of tetraethylene glycol, or complex esters such as one formed from 1 mole of sebacic acid and 2 moles of tetraethylene glycol and 2 moles of 2- ethylhexanoic acid.
  • Other synthetic oils that can be used include synthetic hydrocarbons such as polyalphaolefins; alkyl benzenes, e.g.
  • the lubricating oils used as the base stock in the cooking phase of the manufacturing process is preferably selected from Group I and Group V oils. These oils will have a preferred viscosity in the range of 200 to 1400 cSt at 4O 0 C, with a range of 200 to 500 cSt at 4O 0 C being most preferred.
  • a combination of heavy naphthenic oil and a bright stock was preferred as the base stock during the cooking phase, with 5 - 15 wt% heavy naphthenic oil and 30 - 40 wt% bright stock being the preferred amounts.
  • the use of Group II oils during the cooking phase should be limited or avoided altogether. Group II oils may be combined with other lubricating oils during the finishing phase. A combination of 5 - 10 wt% of an ISO 68 Group I and 20 - 30 wt% of an ISO 100 Group II was preferred during the finishing phase. Various other oils in smaller amounts may also be incorporated during the finishing phase.
  • Preferred thickeners are based on lithium soap, calcium soap, their complexes, or mixtures thereof. Particularly preferred is a lithium or lithium complex thickener derived from reacting a C- 18 fatty acid (12-hydroxy stearic acid) and a C-9 dicarboxylic acid (azelaic acid) with lithium hydroxide monohydrate.
  • Canadian Patent 996537 provides a process for making this preferred thickener. Canadian Patent 996537 is hereby incorporated by reference.
  • a mixture of Group I and Group V oils and a lithium soap of a Ci 2 to C 24 hydroxy fatty acid is first prepared. Then a C 2 to Ci 2 aliphatic carboxylic acid is added to that mixture and converted to its dilithium soap under conditions that are suitable for the formation of a complex between the lithium soap of the dicarboxylic acid and the lithium soap of the hydroxy fatty acid. While the lithium soap of the hydroxy fatty acid could be preformed and then dispersed in the lubricating oil medium, it is generally more expedient to prepare that soap in situ in the lubricating oil by neutralizing the hydroxy fatty acid with lithium base.
  • the temperature of the grease mixture is once again raised in order to bring about dehydration. Preferably this will take place at about 280 to 300 0 F.
  • the temperature of the mixture should further be raised to preferably between 380 and 400 0 F.
  • the soap stock is then cooled during the finishing phase of the grease preparation. Finishing oils, including Group II oils and various other lubricating oils, may be added into the mixture at this point. Mixing may continue until the grease has reached ambient temperatures. When the temperature has been lowered to about 15O 0 F, other grease additives can be introduced as would be understood by persons skilled in the art.
  • the preferred styrene maleic anhydride ester (SMAE) copolymer is unique from other polymer examples because it contains oxygen groups.
  • the structure of the SMAE copolymer (shown below) has exposed hydroxyl and carbonyl groups that can act as hydrogen bond donors (former) and acceptors (latter).
  • the SMAE copolymer is more hydrophilic than strictly hydrocarbon-based copolymers such as styrene isoprene and styrene isobutylene.
  • Equation 1 shows the chemical structure of the SMA ester and the esterification of styrene maleic anhydride copolymer to form a SMA ester and the resulting chemical structure of the SMA ester.
  • the grease structure is a type of soap. The ability of the soap to dissolve in waters varies. Preferably, the grease soap should not readily dissociate in contact with water.
  • the grease may also contain srhall amounts of supplemental additives, which include antioxidants, anti-wear agents and other additives.
  • supplemental additives which include antioxidants, anti-wear agents and other additives.
  • Specific antioxidants employed are not critical and can vary broadly to achieve favorable properties. A combination of a Group II oil and diphenylamine antioxidant was found to enhance the oxidation life of the grease, while achieving good high temperature performance.
  • Antioxidants will typically comprise less than 5 wt% of the overall grease composition.
  • the total amount of all additives, including the antioxidant will typically be between 2 - 10wt% of the overall grease.
  • a person skilled in the art will recognize the benefits of adding specific additives to the grease disclosed herein to achieve favorable properties.
  • Table 3 discloses screening test for the influence of the polymer selection and concentration on overall grease performance. These tests includes water spray-off, wet roll, water washout, low temperature torque, fretting wear, wheel bearing life and apparent viscosity.
