Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a biodegradable lubricating oil composition containing a synthetic ester base oil.
  • a biodegradable lubricating oil is required to have a high biodegradation rate, and, therefore, use of a large quantity of a mineral oil that is popularly used as a base oil in an ordinary lubricating oil is difficult. Consequently, the base oil must be selected from a limited range of a natural vegetable oil, a synthetic polyalkylene glycol base oil, a synthetic ester base oil and the like. Heretofore, among these, a synthetic ester base oil that is relatively excellent in heat stability and oxidation stability is much used.
  • PTL 1 discloses a biodegradable lubricating oil prepared by blending a phenol-based antioxidant, a low base number calcium sulfonate and a triazole compound in a base oil containing a hindered ester in an amount of 50% by mass or more for enhancing lubrication performance, oxidation stability and anticorrosion performance.
  • Performance of lubricating oil compositions is being desired to improve more year by year, and biodegradable lubricating oil compositions also have become required to have further prolonged lifetime and improved wear resistance.
  • a hindered ester is used as a base oil and different kinds of additives are blended therein, it is still difficult to sufficient improve oxidation stability for lifetime prolongation, and in addition, wear resistance could not be improved sufficiently and the performance requirements could not be satisfied.
  • the present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems and an object thereof is to provide a biodegradable lubricating oil composition having better wear resistance and enhanced oxidation stability.
  • the present inventors have found that, when a specific synthetic ester base oil is used as a base oil and when the transmittance at 3,005 ⁇ 1 cm -1 of the lubricating oil composition is made high, the resultant lubricating oil composition added with small quantities of additives added thereto can have sufficiently improved oxidation stability and wear resistance while maintaining good biodegradability, and have completed the present invention as described below.
  • the present invention provides the following:
  • a biodegradable lubricating oil composition having good wear resistance and having enhanced oxidation stability.
  • the biodegradable lubricating oil composition of one aspect of the present invention contains at least 50% by mass or more of a synthetic ester base oil (A), as antioxidants (B), 0.1 to 3% by mass of an amine-based antioxidant (B1) and 0.1 to 3% by mass of a phenol-based antioxidant (B2), and 0.01 to 2% by mass of a sulfur-phosphorus-based extreme-pressure agent (C).
  • A synthetic ester base oil
  • B1 an amine-based antioxidant
  • B2 0.1 to 3% by mass of a phenol-based antioxidant
  • C sulfur-phosphorus-based extreme-pressure agent
  • the transmittance at 3,005 ⁇ 1 cm -1 of a 0.1 mm-thick liquid film of the composition, as measured through IR absorptiometry is 50% or more.
  • the transmittance at 3,005 ⁇ 1 cm -1 in IR absorptiometry is an index of the amount of the unsaturated bonds in the biodegradable lubricating oil composition, and when the transmittance is 50% or more, the amount of the unsaturated bonds in the composition is small.
  • the transmittance of the composition can be 50% or more.
  • a synthetic ester base oil (A) having a small amount of unsaturated bonds therein is used to thereby reduce the amount of the unsaturated bonds in the lubricating oil composition, and consequently, by adding small quantities of the specific antioxidants (B) and the extreme-pressure agent (C), the oxidation stability and the wear resistance of the resultant biodegradable lubricating oil composition can be sufficiently improved.
  • the transmittance of the lubricating oil composition is, from the viewpoint of more reducing the amount of the unsaturated bonds in the lubricating oil composition, preferably 55% or more, and for making the composition contain few unsaturated bonds, the transmittance is more preferably 60% or more.
  • the upper limit of the transmittance is 100%, but in view of the characteristics thereof, the transmittance is generally about 80% or less.
  • biodegradable lubricating oil composition The components contained on the biodegradable lubricating oil composition are described in detail hereinunder.
  • the synthetic ester base oil (A) may be adequately selected from ester bond-having synthetic base oils, and specifically may be selected from (A1) a polyol ester base oil being an ester of a polyol and an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid, (A2) a diester base oil being an ester of an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and a monoalcohol, (A3) an ester base oil being a copolymer of an unsaturated dibasic acid ester and an ⁇ -olefin, etc.
  • the synthetic ester base oil (A) may be one kind of an ester alone or may also be a mixture of two or more kinds of esters.
  • the synthetic ester base oil (A) for use in the lubricating oil composition is, for reducing the amount of the unsaturated bonds therein to thereby increase the transmittance of the lubricating oil composition as above, preferably so selected that the transmittance at 3,005 ⁇ 1 cm -1 of a 0.1 mm-thick liquid film of the composition, as measured through IR absorptiometry, could be 50% or more, more preferably 55% or more, and even more preferably 60% or more so that the composition may contain few unsaturated bonds.
  • the upper limit of the transmittance of the synthetic ester base oil (A) is 100%, but in view of the characteristics of the synthetic ester base oil (A), the transmittance thereof is generally about 80% or less.
  • the lubricating oil composition preferably contains a larger amount of the one having a transmittance of 50% or more than the another having a transmittance of less than 50%.
  • the synthetic ester base oil (A) is contained in an amount of 50% by mass or more based on the total amount of the lubricating oil composition as above, but is preferably contained in an amount of 70% by mass or more, more preferably in an amount of 80% by mass or more, even more preferably in an amount of 90% by mass or more.
  • the content of the synthetic ester base oil (A) relative to the total amount of the lubricating oil composition is less than 99.8% by mass, but in order that the additives thereto to be mentioned below could be each in an adequate amount, the base oil content is preferably 99% by mass or less, more preferably 98% by mass or less.
