Definitions

  • the present invention relates to lubricant formulations having a hydrocarbon base oil with oil soluble polyalkylene glycol, sulfurized olefin and phosphate ester additives.
  • Automotive axel oil lubricants typically contain 70-95 weight-percent (wt%) base oil 0-15 wt% viscosity index improvers, up to 2 wt% pour point depressants and 2-30 wt% of a detergent inhibitor (DI) package.
  • the DI package contains additives such as extreme pressure (EP) additives, anti-wear (AW) additives, dispersants, anti-oxidants, corrosion inhibitors, friction modifiers and foam inhibitors.
  • EP extreme pressure
  • AW anti-wear
  • dispersants anti-oxidants
  • corrosion inhibitors corrosion inhibitors
  • friction modifiers friction modifiers
  • foam inhibitors foam inhibitors.
  • the additives in the DI package are generally required to meet performance requirements.
  • EP additives generally include sulfur-containing species.
  • Sulfur is an effective EP additive because it forms a sacrificial tribofilm of iron sulfide with a metal surface. The iron sulfide film is displaced upon shock thereby protecting the metal surface.
  • Dispersants are used to disperse resulting iron sulfide particles.
  • Anti-wear (AW) additives are also surface active and can form films on the metal surface to reduce wear between contacting surfaces. Typical AW additives contain phosphorous. The phosphorous also tries to bind with the metal surface to protect it from extreme wear. When both sulfur-containing EP and phosphorous-containing AW additives are present there is a competition between the sulfur and phosphorous for the metal surface. As a result, efficacy of one or both EP and AW additive can diminish when both are present.
  • the present invention provides a solution to the problem of identifying a lubricant formulation that achieves improved AW performance without sacrificing EP performance while still using standard sulfur-containing EP additives and phosphorous-containing AW additives. Moreover, the present invention provides a way to improve both AW and EP performance at a given concentration of sulfur-containing EP additive and phosphorous- containing AW additive.
  • the present invention is a result of a surprising and unexpected discovery that oil soluble polyalkylene glycol (OSP) when added to a lubricant formulation comprising a hydrocarbon base oil, sulfur-containing EP additive and a phosphorous-containing AW additive increases the EP and AW performance of the formulation.
  • OSP oil soluble polyalkylene glycol
  • the OSP surprisingly and unexpectedly synergistically enhances the performance of both additives in the oil formulation.
  • the present invention is a lubricant formulation comprising: (a) greater than 50 weight-percent hydrocarbon base oil; (b) 5 weight-percent or more and less than 50 weight-percent of one or a combination of more than one oil soluble polyalkylene glycol selected from a group consisting of monol, diol and triol initiated 1 ,2-butylene oxide homopolymers and monol initiated copolymers of 1,2-butylene oxide and propylene oxide; (c) 0.1 weight-percent or more and 5 weight-percent or less of sulfurized olefin in one embodiment and 0.1 weight-percent or more and 3 weight-percent or less of sulfurized olefin in another embodiment; and (d) 0.1 weight-percent or more and 2 weight-percent or less of phosphate ester in one embodiment and 0.1 weight-percent or more and 1.5 weight- percent or less of phosphate in another embodiment; where weight-percent is relative to total lubricant formulation weight.
  • the present invention is a method of increasing anti-wear performance without reducing extreme pressure performance of a lubricant formulation containing a hydrocarbon base oil, a sulfurized isobutylene extreme pressure additive and a phosphate ester anti-wear additive, the method comprising including an oil soluble polyalkylene glycol selected from a group consisting of monol, diol and triol initiated
  • the formulation and method of the present invention is useful as a lubricant.
  • the oil soluble polyalkylene glycols of the present invention can be designed from oxides other than 1,2 butylene oxide.
  • oil soluble polyalkylene glycols can be designed from oxides other than 1,2 butylene oxide.
  • copolymers can be produced by reacting mixtures of the copolymers with an initiator.
  • mixtures of a higher oxide and 1,2 propylene oxide or 1,2 butylene oxide can be used to prepare copolymers.
  • the above alternative types of oil soluble polyalkylene glycols are expected to provide a similar technical effect as the copolymers of propylene oxide and butylene oxide or homo-polymers of butylene oxide that are described herein in the present invention.
  • Test methods refer to the most recent test method as of the priority date of this document unless a date is indicated with the test method number as a hyphenated two digit number. References to test methods contain both a reference to the testing society and the test method number. Test method organizations are referenced by one of the following abbreviations: ASTM refers to ASTM International (formerly known as American Society for Testing and Materials); EN refers to European Norm; DIN refers to Deutsches Institut fur Normung; and ISO refers to International Organization for Standards.
  • EP performance using a pin and vee-block test according to ASTM D3233.
  • the test is the "Falex EP test”.
  • the test apparatus is available from Falex Corporation and consists of a 0.25 inch (6.35 millimeter) diameter steel rod (journal) that rotates at 290 +/- 10 revolutions per minute against two 0.5 inch (12.7 millimeter) diameter vee blocks.
  • a four line contact region is established as load is applied through a mechanical sprint-type gage by a ratchet wheel and an eccentric arm.
  • the test determines a load-fail value that relates to the load-carrying properties of the test fluid.
  • the Falex load gage applies from 200 to 3000 pounds (91-1361 kilograms) direct load (4500 pounds (2041 kilograms) reference load). Conduct the test against test method B until a rise in friction coefficients or a drop in load or a failure of the shear pin is observed.
  • a typical automotive gear oil formulation that contains extreme pressure additives will have a load carrying capacity of 2500 pounds (1135 kilograms) while a typical engine oil formulation that does not contain sulfur based extreme pressure additives has a load carrying capacity of 1300 pounds (590 kilograms).
  • Anti-wear values are in millimeters (mm). Higher values correspond to greater wear and poorer anti-wear performance. Lower values correspond to better anti- wear performance. Therefore, a decrease in anti-wear performance characterization value corresponds to an "improvement" in anti-wear performance and an "increased",
  • the lubricant formulation comprises a natural or synthetic hydrocarbon base oil.

  • Group II base oils are highly hydro-processed oils and Group III base oils are highly hydro- cracked oils.
  • Group ⁇ base oils have a higher viscosity index than Group II base oils, and are prepared by either further hydro-cracking of Group II base oils, or by hydro-cracking of hydro-isomerized slack wax, which is a byproduct of the dewaxing process used for many of the oils in general.
  • Group IV base oils are synthetic hydrocarbon oils, which are also referred to as polyalphaolefins (PAOs).
  • Group V base oils are other synthetic base oils such as synthetic esters, polyalkylene glycols, polyisobutylenes, and phosphate esters.

  • the lubricant formulation of the present invention is free of PAGs that comprise polymerized alkylene oxides selected only from ethylene oxide and propylene oxide and can be free of PAGs that are not OSPs.
  • PAGs generally comprise an initiator component, a polyalkylene oxide component and an end group at the end of each polyalkylene oxide chain opposite from the initiator component.
  • the OSP of the present lubricant formulation is selected from a group consisting of monol, diol and triol initiated 1,2-butylene oxide homopolymers and monol initiated copolymers of 1,2-butylene oxide and 1,2-propylene oxide (herein referred to simply as "propylene oxide").
