Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the preparation of lubricating greases based on lignin derivatives thickened by a polyurea thickener, thus prepared
  • lignin derivatives for the production of greases.
  • No. 3,249,537 describes sodium lignosulfonate as a grease thickener in the presence of acetic acid, sodium hydroxide and / or lithium hydroxide, a long-chain fatty acid, a base oil and an amine additive.
  • the grease obtained with this composition is water-soluble or not sufficiently resistant to water for many applications.
  • TPE bellows for example constant velocity universal joint shafts
  • such greases show inadequate bellows compatibility.
  • the capsule material often makes the movements of the mutually moving parts or at least absorbs vibrations. This requires mobility and, in most cases, elasticity of the material, which must not be adversely affected by contact or interaction with the grease.
  • the latter relates to a complex fat and the use in constant velocity universal joint shafts encapsulated by, inter alia.
  • TPE bellows discloses the use of different thickening agents for calcium lignosulfonates, i.a. also of polyureas.
  • WO 2014046202 A1 describes a grease containing 1-20 wt.% Ligno- phenol derivatives, z.
  • US 2013 / 0338049A1 discloses a grease composition comprising lignin derivatives and various thickening agents, including polyurea thickener in a mixture of base oils and additives.
  • the lignin derivatives are added to an already prepared polyurea grease.
  • lignin derivatives have considerable amounts of water, such as lignosulfonates 4 to 8 wt.%. This may result in insufficient thermal stability of the lignin derivative-containing greases by evaporation of water and other volatile or easily decomposable components at higher application temperatures. In sealed or encapsulated grease points, this leads to an overpressure build-up, which can lead to damage of the seal or encapsulation or to a grease escape or to a water and dirt entry.
  • Consistency in which the lignin derivative was introduced by the method according to the invention is achieved.
  • the higher thickener content increases the shear viscosity of a lubricating grease, especially at low temperatures, which results in poorer pumpability in greasing and centralized lubrication systems.
  • EP0661378 A1 Tribochemically acting EP / AW additives used in today's polyurea and polyurethane fats account for a not inconsiderable share of the formulation costs and are thus often the price-driving factor for greases. Many of these additives are prepared by elaborate multi-step synthesis procedures and their use is limited by their toxicological side effect, which occurs in many cases, both in the way they are used and in their use concentration in the final formulation. In some applications, e.g. in constant velocity universal joint shafts or in slow-moving and heavily loaded roller bearings, lack of lubrication conditions or contact of the friction partners with liquid lubricants can not be avoided even by liquid additives. In these cases, solid lubricants based on inorganic compounds (e.g., boron nitride, carbonates, phosphates or hydrogen phosphates), plastic powders (e.g.

  • the object of the invention is that the lignin derivative in the base oil is exposed to temperatures of greater than 110 ° C., preferably greater than 120 ° C., more preferably greater than 170 ° C. or even greater than 180 ° C., in particular for greater than 30 min. This can be done by
  • the lignin derivative is added prior to formation of the polyurea thickener, ie before contacting the amine component and the isocyanate component, so that the amine component and isocyanate component or the forming polyurea thickener together as described above to be heated; or (B.2) the lignin derivative is added after bringing together amine component and isocyanate component, ie, at a time when the polyurea thickener has formed at least partially and possibly already substantially completely, the temperature treatment of Polyharnstoffverdickers but not yet completed, ie a temperature of greater than 120 ° C or greater than 1 10 ° C has not been reached, so that the at least partially and possibly already substantially completely formed polyurea thickener and lignin derivative are heated together as described above ,
  • the variants B.1 and B.2 are preferred, B2 is particularly preferred.
  • the particular advantage of the variants B.1 and B.2 is that when working with an initial isocyanate excess, due to the multistage initially a complete Aminin reduction can be achieved and then at elevated temperature and in the presence of the lignin derivative time delay and the Abretician Excess isocyanate groups is possible.
  • the greases according to the invention have unexpectedly good properties when used as lubricating grease in plain and roller bearings, gearboxes, constant velocity joints and by means of oiling systems and central lubrication systems can be applied well.
  • the greases of the invention differ significantly from conventional fats.

  • the greases of the invention are further characterized by a water content of less than 100 ppm, based on the amount of added lignin derivative, determined according to DIN 51777-1.
  • the lubricating greases according to the invention furthermore exhibit a particularly fine and homogeneous particle distribution, even if they were not treated with homogenizing processes customary in industrial production processes, such as tooth colloid mills and high-pressure homogenizers. If no step of heating the lignin derivative to over 120 ° C, on average, larger particles occur.
  • the size of the particles can be determined eg with a grindometer according to Hegman ISO 1524.
  • the lubricating greases according to the invention are distinguished by an improved low-temperature behavior, described by a flow pressure according to DIN 51805.
  • the greases according to the invention are distinguished by improved conveyability and filtration properties. Both are important criteria for applications of greases in greasing systems or centralized lubrication systems.
  • the conveyability can be described by the shear viscosity (flow resistance) according to DIN 51810-1. It has been observed that this is about 10% lower at the same test temperature than in comparable greases of comparable consistency in which the lignosulfonate in the presence of polyurea thickener or excess isocyanate was not heated to temperatures greater than 110 ° C.
  • the maximum particle size is usually smaller by more than 30% when tested by Grindometer according to Hegman ISO 1524.
  • the lignin derivative is added later together with base oil, namely when the polyurea thickener in the base oil is already prepared and the lignin derivative is subsequently added together with base oil, the lignin derivative being previously in the base oil to a temperature from greater than 1 10 ° C, preferably greater than 120 ° C, more preferably greater than 170 ° C or even greater than 180 ° C was heated, in particular for 30 min and longer.

In particular, the isocyanate excess is greater than 0.1%, preferably greater than 0.5%.
  • This is intended to bring about or promote a reaction with the lignin derivative by subsequent heating, in particular a reaction with the OH groups or other isocyanate-reactive functional groups of the lignin derivative.
  • the isocyanates are completely reacted with the amines, alcohols, reactive components of the lignin derivatives and optionally with any excess water.
  • post-crosslinking of the lubricating greases after production is prevented / reduced in use.
  • the heating process of the lignin derivative in the presence of the polyurea thickener surprisingly found that lignin derivative is then present in a more homogeneous distribution.
  • the isocyanate based on the molar amount of amines or alcohols used for forming the polyurea fat, is added thereto in a molar excess to ensure complete conversion of the amines and alcohols and then residual isocyanate with reactive Groups of the lignin derivative reacts.
  • This is intended to achieve an additional thickening effect and a good aging stability of the greases.

The sulphurous processes are divided into the sulphite process and the sulphate process (kraft process), in which the lignin derivatives are obtained from hardwoods or softwoods.
