Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lubricant composition.
- the present invention relates to an automobile lubricant composition having a decreased viscosity, which can be applied to differential gears.
- Lubricant compositions are used in a wide range of applications such as automobile and machinery applications. In recent years, there is a demand to decrease viscosity levels of automobile lubricant compositions in view of fuel cost saving. Meanwhile, decreasing viscosity of a lubricant composition may affect oil film formation ability. Decreasing viscosity of a lubricant may cause the occurrence of wear in a bearing or the like or the occurrence of scoring on a gear tooth surface or the like especially in the field of automobile gear oils and further especially in the field of lubricants used for differential gears, which makes it difficult to deal with the issue of decreasing viscosity. Therefore, the development of an automobile gear oil composition and especially a differential gear oil composition, which can suppress wear in a bearing or the like under conditions that make it difficult to form an oil film at high temperatures even for low viscosity oils, has been awaited.
- the present inventors previously found that it is possible to decrease viscosity of a lubricant using a low viscosity base oil and a high viscosity base oil in combination, thereby simultaneously achieving bearing fatigue life characteristics and fuel cost saving, which are particularly influenced by oil film formation ability.
- the lubricant composition disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 2007-039480 is insufficient in terms of ability to prevent wear in a bearing or the like and scoring characteristics on a gear tooth surface or the like.
- Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 2014-012855 discloses a lubricant composition comprising a specific acidic phosphoric acid alkyl ester, a dialkyl amine, and/or a trialkyl amine, a specific sulfur compound lacking a polysulfide bond of -S-S-S- or more sulfur atoms, and if needed, a specific thiophosphoric acid trihydrocarbyl ester.
- the lubricant composition disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 2014-012855 relates to a speed-up gear oil composition for wind-power generation, which needs to have resistance to baking and fatigue resistance, and thus, it is not described in terms of scoring.
- EP 1 785 473 A1 discloses relatively low viscosity transmissions fluids.
- the present inventors have an objective to provide a lubricant composition, which can suppress wear in a bearing or the like and scoring on a gear tooth surface or the like even having a decreased viscosity.
- the present inventors found that the above-described objective can be achieved by blending an extreme pressure agent containing a specific amount of active sulfur with a lubricant composition. This has led to the completion of the present invention.

Description
- The present invention relates to a lubricant composition. In particular, the present invention relates to an automobile lubricant composition having a decreased viscosity, which can be applied to differential gears.
- Lubricant compositions are used in a wide range of applications such as automobile and machinery applications. In recent years, there is a demand to decrease viscosity levels of automobile lubricant compositions in view of fuel cost saving. Meanwhile, decreasing viscosity of a lubricant composition may affect oil film formation ability. Decreasing viscosity of a lubricant may cause the occurrence of wear in a bearing or the like or the occurrence of scoring on a gear tooth surface or the like especially in the field of automobile gear oils and further especially in the field of lubricants used for differential gears, which makes it difficult to deal with the issue of decreasing viscosity. Therefore, the development of an automobile gear oil composition and especially a differential gear oil composition, which can suppress wear in a bearing or the like under conditions that make it difficult to form an oil film at high temperatures even for low viscosity oils, has been awaited.
- The present inventors previously found that it is possible to decrease viscosity of a lubricant using a low viscosity base oil and a high viscosity base oil in combination, thereby simultaneously achieving bearing fatigue life characteristics and fuel cost saving, which are particularly influenced by oil film formation ability. This led to the completion of the invention disclosed in

- Of these, (3) a combination of a mineral oil-based base oil, a Fischer-Tropsch-derived base oil, and a poly-α-olefin (PAO) base oil is particularly preferable.
- A mineral oil-based base oil is not limited to one produced by the above-described production method. However, it has a kinematic viscosity of preferably 2 to 35 mm2/s, more preferably 2 to 20 mm2/s, and still more preferably 3 to 10 mm2/s at 100°C.
- A Fischer-Tropsch-derived base oil has a kinematic viscosity of preferably, but not limited to, 2 to 40 mm2/s, more preferably 2 to 20 mm2/s, still more preferably 2 to 10 mm2/s at 100°C.
- Examples of a poly-α-olefin (PAO) base oil include, but is not limited to. 1-octene oligomer, 1-decene oligomer, ethylene-α-olefin oligomer, ethylene-propylene oligomer, isobutene oligomer, and hydrogenated products thereof. A poly-a-olefin (PAO) base oil has a kinematic viscosity of preferably 2 to 100 mm2/s, more preferably 2 to 50 mm2/s, and still more preferably 10 to 50 mm2/s at 100°C.
- In order to obtain a low viscosity lubricant composition, a lubricant base oil as a whole has a kinematic viscosity at 100°C of 3 to 40 mm2/s, preferably 4 to 20 mm2/s, more preferably 5 to 15 mm2/s, and particularly preferably 8 to 15 mm2/s. When kinematic viscosity at 100°C of a lubricant base oil is above the upper limit, it makes it difficult to decrease viscosity of a lubricant composition, which may be an obstacle to achievement of fuel cost saving. In addition, when the kinematic viscosity at 100°C is below the lower limit, it might make it difficult to ensure wear prevention performance or scoring prevention performance, although fuel cost saving could be achieved.
- The lubricant composition of the present invention comprises a sulfur-based extreme pressure agent as an essential component. A sulfur-based extreme pressure agent used in the present invention needs to have an amount of active sulfur of 5% to 30% by weight, which is preferably 5% to 20% by weight, more preferably 5% to 18% by weight, still more preferably 5% to 15% by weight, and particularly preferably 8% to 12% by weight. When the amount of active sulfur is above the upper limit, it may cause metallic corrosion and make it difficult to ensure wear prevention performance or scoring prevention performance. Although the lower limit of the amount of active sulfur is not particularly limited, the above-described lower limit is preferable for ensuring extreme pressure performance.
- Here, the amount of active sulfur is measured by the method stipulated by ASTM D1662. More specifically, the amount of active sulfur in accordance with ASTM D1662 can be measured by the following procedures.
- 1. Mix 50 g of a sample and 5 g of a copper powder (having a purity of 99% or more and a particle size of 75 µm or less) in a 200-mL beaker and heat the mixture to 150°C while stirring it by a stirrer (500 rpm).
- 2. Once the temperature reaches 150°C, further add 5 g of a copper powder and stir the mixture for 30 minutes.
- 3. Stop stirring, place a copper plate prepared in compliance with ASTM D130 in the beaker and immerse the copper plate therein for 10 minutes. Then, once the copper plate becomes discolored, further add 5 g of a copper powder and stir the mixture for 30 minutes (continue this operation until discoloration of the copper plate stops).
- 4. Once discoloration of the copper plate stops, filter the copper powder added to the sample for separation and measure the amount of sulfur contained in the filtrate.
- The amount of active sulfur is calculated as follows.
- Amount of active sulfur (% by weight) = Amount of sulfur before reacted with copper powder (% by weight) - Amount of sulfur after reacted with copper powder (% by weight)
- A sulfur-based extreme pressure agent in the present invention needs to have a specific amount of active sulfur as described above. It can be selected from known sulfur-based extreme pressure agents. It is preferably at least one selected from sulfide compounds represented by sulfurized olefin and sulfurized esters represented by sulfurized oil and fat and particularly preferably sulfurized olefin.
- A sulfur-based extreme pressure agent used in the present invention is expressed by, for example, following formula (1).
R1-(-S-)x-R2 (1)
- In formula (1), R1 and R2 are each independently a monovalent substituent and contain at least one element selected from carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. Specifically, R1 and R2 may be, for example, a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon group having a linear or branched structure containing 1 to 40 carbon atoms, which may be an aliphatic, aromatic, or aromatic aliphatic hydrocarbon group. In addition, such group may contain an oxygen and/or sulfur atom. R1 and R2 may be bound to each other. When they form a single bond, they are expressed by, for example, following formula (2).
- In formulae (1) and (2) above, x is an integer of 1 or more and preferably an integer of 1 to 12. When x is small, extreme pressure performance declines, while on the other hand, when x is excessively large, thermal oxidation stability tends to decline. In order to attain both extreme pressure performance and thermal oxidation stability, x is preferably an integer of 1 to 10, more preferably an integer of 1 to 8, and particularly preferably an integer of 2 to 5. For a sulfur-based extreme pressure agent expressed by formulae (1) and (2), it is considered that x is not a single substance but a mixture of substances having different numbers of sulfur atoms, and a compound having a specific number of sulfur atoms selected therefrom can function as active sulfur.
- Examples of a sulfur-based extreme pressure agent will be further described below.
- Sulfurized olefins are obtained by sulfurizing olefins. They are collectively referred to as sulfide compounds including those obtained by sulfurizing hydrocarbon materials other than olefins.
- Sulfurized olefins may be obtained by, for example, sulfurizing olefins such as polyisobutylenes and terpenes with sulfur or other sulfurizing agents.
- Examples of sulfide compounds other than sulfurized olefins include diisobutyl disulfide, dioctyl polysulfide, di-tert-butyl polysulfide, diisobutyl polysulfide, dihexyl polysulfide, di-tert-nonyl polysulfide, didecyl polysulfide, didodecyl polysulfide, di-isobutylene polysulfide, dioctenyl polysulfide, and dibenzyl polysulfide.
- Sulfurized oil or fat is a reaction product of oil or fat and sulfur. It can be obtained by a sulfurization reaction with the use of animal or vegetable oil or fat such as lard, beef tallow, whale oil, palm oil, coconut oil, or rapeseed oil. The reaction product is not of a single species but a mixture of various substances, and the chemical structure itself is not always clear.
- In addition to the above-described sulfurized oils and fats, examples of sulfurized esters may be obtained by sulfurizing ester compounds obtained through reaction between various organic acids (e.g., saturated fatty acid, unsaturated fatty acid, dicarboxylic acid, and aromatic carboxylic acid) and various alcohols with sulfur and other sulfurizing agents. As with sulfurized oil or fat, the chemical structures themselves are not always clear.
- The content of the above-described sulfur-based extreme pressure agent in the lubricant composition of the present invention is from 5% by weight to 15% by weight and preferably from 6% by weight to 12% by weight based on the total weight of the lubricant composition. The present invention is also characterized in that the content of a sulfur-based extreme pressure agent is greater when compared with conventional lubricant compositions. When the content is above the upper limit, it tends to cause reduction of thermal oxidation stability and generation of sludge, and further tends to cause metallic corrosion, which is not preferable. In addition, when the content is below the lower limit, scoring prevention performance declines, which is not preferable.
- The lubricant composition of the present invention may further contain, as an optional component, a phosphorus-based extreme pressure agent and/or a sulfur-containing phosphorus-based extreme pressure agent. Note that a sulfur element contained in the sulfur-containing phosphorus-based extreme pressure agent specified herein is not sulfur measured in accordance with ASTM D1662 (active sulfur), and therefore, the extreme pressure agent is distinguished from the above-mentioned sulfur-based extreme pressure agent.
- A phosphorus-based extreme pressure agent and a sulfur-containing phosphorus-based extreme pressure agent are not particularly limited, and thus, they may be conventionally known products. For example, they are each preferably at least one selected from phosphoric acid esters, acidic phosphoric acid esters, phosphorous acid esters, acidic phosphorous acid esters, thiophosphoric acid esters, acidic thiophosphoric acid esters, thiophosphorous acid esters, acidic thiophosphorous acid esters, amine salts of acidic phosphoric acid esters, amine salts of acidic phosphorous acid esters, amine salts of acidic thiophosphoric acid esters, amine salts of acidic thiophosphorous acid esters, phosphoric acid, and phosphorous acid.

Here, when a = 0, it means phosphoric acid, and when a = 1 or 2, it means an acidic phosphoric acid ester.
- Phosphorous acid esters and acidic phosphorous acid esters are represented by (R2O)bP(=O)(OH)2-bH. b is 0, 1, or 2. R2 is independently a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 4 to 30 carbon atoms. Here, when b = 0, it means phosphorous acid, and when b = 1, it means an acidic phosphorous acid ester.
- Thiophosphoric acid esters and acidic thiophosphoric acid esters are represented by (R3X1)(R4X2)(R5X3)P(=X4). R3, R4, and R5 are hydrogen atoms or monovalent hydrocarbon groups having 4 to 30 carbon atoms. Here, when one or two of R3, R4, and R5 are each a hydrogen atom, it means an acidic thiophosphoric acid ester. X1, X2, X3, and X4 are each independently an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom. Note that at least one of X1, X2, X3, and X4 is a sulfur atom.
- Thiophosphorous acid esters are represented by (R6X5)(R7X6)P(=X7)H. R6 and R7 are each independently a hydrogen atom or a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 4 to 30 carbon atoms. Here, when one of R6 and R7 is a hydrogen atom, it means an acidic thiophosphoric acid ester. X5, X6, and X7 are each independently an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom. Note that at least one of X5, X6, and X7 is a sulfur atom.
- Phosphoric acid esters and acidic phosphoric acid esters are, but are not limited to, preferably phosphoric acid monoalkyl esters, phosphoric acid dialkyl esters, and phosphoric acid trialkyl esters.

- Thiophosphorous acid esters are preferably, but not limited to, thiophosphorous acid monoalkyl esters and thiophosphorous acid dialkyl esters.
- More specifically, examples of phosphoric acid esters, phosphorous acid esters, thiophosphoric acid esters, and thiophosphorous acid esters include, but are not limited to, monooctyl phosphate, dioctyl phosphate, trioctyl phosphate, monooctyl phosphite, dioctyl phosphite, monooctyl thiophosphate, dioctyl thiophosphate, trioctyl thiophosphate, monooctyl thiophosphite, dioctyl thiophosphite, monododecyl phosphate, didodecyl phosphate, tridodecyl phosphate, monododecyl phosphite, didodecyl phosphite, monododecyl thiophosphate, didodecyl thiophosphate, tridodecyl thiophosphate, monododecyl thiophosphite, didodecyl thiophosphite, monooctadecenyl phosphate, dioctadecenyl phosphate, trioctadecenyl phosphate, monooctadecenyl phosphite, dioctadecenyl phosphite, monooctadecenyl thiophosphate, dioctadecenyl thiophosphate, trioctadecenyl thiophosphate, monooctadecenyl thiophosphite, and dioctadecenyl thiophosphite.
- Further, alkylamine salts and alkenyl amine salts of those selected from the above compounds which are partially esterified may also be suitably used. In other words, amine salts of acidic phosphoric acid esters, amine salts of acidic phosphorous acid esters, amine salts of acidic thiophosphoric acid esters, and amine salts of acidic thiophosphorous acid esters can be used while the present invention is not limited thereto.
- More specifically, examples thereof include amine salts of monooctyl phosphate, amine salts of dioctyl phosphate, amine salts of monooctyl phosphite, amine salts of monooctyl thiophosphate, amine salts of dioctyl thiophosphate, amine salts of monooctyl thiophosphite, amine salts of monododecyl phosphate, amine salts of didodecyl phosphate, amine salts of monododecyl phosphite, amine salts of monododecyl thiophosphate, amine salts of didodecyl phosphate, amine salts of monooctadecenyl phosphate, amine salts of dioctadecenyl phosphate, amine salts of monooctadecenyl phosphite, amine salts of monooctadecenyl thiophosphate, amine salts of dioctadecenyl thiophosphate, and amine salts of monooctadecenyl thiophosphite.
- Incidentally, amine in an amine salt is represented by R8R9R10N.R8, R9, and R10 are each independently hydrogen or a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group having a linear or branched structure containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms. More specifically, examples thereof include a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, a butyl group, a nonyl group, a dodecyl group, a propenyl group, a butenyl group, and an oleyl group.
- The above-described phosphorus-based extreme pressure agents and sulfur-containing phosphorus-based extreme pressure agents can be used singly or two or more thereof can be used in combination. When they are used in combination, they can be used in, for example, the following embodiments but are not limited thereto.
- (1) A combination of an amine salt of a thiophosphoric acid ester and an amine salt of a phosphoric acid ester, which is especially a combination of an amine salt of a thiophosphoric acid ester having an alkyl group and an amine salt of a phosphoric acid ester having an alkyl group
- (2) A combination of an amine salt of a thiophosphoric acid ester and a phosphoric acid ester, which is especially a combination of an amine salt of a thiophosphoric acid ester having an alkyl group and a phosphoric acid ester having an alkyl group
- (3) A combination of an amine salt of a phosphoric acid ester and a thiophosphoric acid ester, which is especially a combination of an amine salt of a phosphoric acid ester having an alkyl group and a thiophosphoric acid ester having an alkyl group
- (4) A combination of a thiophosphoric acid ester and a phosphoric acid ester, which is especially a combination of a thiophosphoric acid ester having an alkyl group and a phosphoric acid ester having an alkyl group
- The amounts of the above-described phosphorus-based extreme pressure agents and sulfur-containing phosphorus-based extreme pressure agents to be added are not limited and can be appropriately adjusted. For example, the amount of such extreme pressure agent is preferably 10% by weight or less, more preferably from 1% to 8% by weight, and still more preferably from 2% to 6% by weight based on the total weight of the lubricant composition. When the content is above the upper limit, it may exacerbate scoring prevention performance on a tooth surface or the like, which is not preferable. When the content is not less than the lower limit based on the total weight of the lubricant composition, it further contributes to wear prevention performance.
- The lubricant composition of the present invention may further comprise an ashless dispersant. Conventionally known ashless dispersants can be used without particular limitations. Examples thereof include a nitrogen-containing compound which has in its molecule at least one alkyl group or alkenyl group having a linear or branched structure containing 40-400 carbon atoms, and derivatives thereof, and a modified alkenyl succinimide. One type of ashless dispersant may be used singly or two or more types of ashless dispersants may be used in combination. It is also possible to use a boronated ashless dispersant. A boronated ashless dispersant are obtained by boronating any ashless dispersant used in lubricants. In general, boronation is carried out by allowing boric acid to act on an imide compound, thereby neutralizing a part or all of remaining amino and/or imino groups remain.
- The above-described alkyl group or alkenyl group has preferably 40 to 400 carbon atoms and more preferably 60 to 350 carbon atoms. When the numbers of carbon atoms of alkyl and alkenyl groups are below the lower limit, solubility of the compound in a lubricant base oil tends to decline. In addition, when the numbers of carbon atoms of alkyl and alkenyl groups are above the upper limit, low-temperature fluidity of the lubricant composition tends to deteriorate. The alkyl and alkenyl groups each may have a linear or branched structure. Preferable examples thereof include a branched alkyl or alkenyl group derived from oligomer of olefin such as propylene, 1-butene, or isobutylene, and cooligomer of ethylene and propylene.
- One type of alkenyl succinimide is so-called mono-type succinimide which is a reaction product of one end of polyamine and succinic anhydride and another type of alkenyl succinimide is a so-called bis-type succinimide which is a reaction product of both ends of polyamine and succinic anhydride. The lubricant composition of the present invention may comprise either or both of mono-type and bis-type succinimides.
- The above-described modified alkenyl succinimide is obtained by, for example, modifying alkenyl succinimide with a boron compound (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "boronated succinimide"). Modifying with a boron compound means boronation. Boronated succinimide may be used singly or in combination of two or more thereof. In the case of combination use, two or more types of boronated succinimide may be used in combination. In addition, both of mono-type and bis-type succinimides may be contained. Mono-type or bis-type succinimides may be used in combination. Alternatively, boronated succinimide and non-boronated succinimide may be used in combination.
- Examples of a method of producing boronated succinimide include methods disclosed in
Japanese Examined Patent Publication (Kokoku) Nos. S42-8013 S42-8014 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) Nos. S51-52381 S51-130408 - The content of boron in a boronated ashless dispersant is usually, but not limited to, from 0.1% to 3% by weight based on the weight of the ashless dispersant. In one embodiment of the present invention, the content of boron in the ashless dispersant is preferably not less than 0.2% by weight, more preferably not less than 0.4% by weight, while it is preferably not more than 2.5% by weight, more preferably not more than 2.3% by weight, and still more preferably not more than 2.0% by weight. Such boronated ashless dispersant is preferably boronated succinimide and particularly preferably boronated bis-succinimide.

- The content of the ashless dispersant in the composition may be appropriately adjusted. For example, it is preferably from 0.01% to 20% by weight and more preferably from 0.1% to 10% by weight based on the total weight of the lubricant composition. When the content of the ashless dispersant is below the lower limit, sludge dispersibility may become insufficient. In addition, when the content is above the upper limit, it may cause deterioration of a specific rubber material or low-temperature fluidity.
- The lubricant composition of the present invention may comprise, as additives other than above components (A) to (D), a viscosity index improver, an antioxidant, a metallic cleaner, a friction modifier, a corrosion inhibitor, a rust inhibitor, a demulsifier, a metal deactivator, a defoamer, and a pour point depressant. However, as the lubricant composition of the present invention is not a grease, it does not comprise any thickening agent. The thickening agent is, for example, a metal soap or metal salt.
- Examples of a viscosity index improver include a so-called non-dispersant viscosity index improver such as a polymer or copolymer of one type or two or more types of monomers selected from various methacrylic acid esters or a hydrogenated product thereof, a so-called dispersant viscosity index improver obtained by copolymerizing various methacrylic acid esters containing nitrogen compounds, a non-dispersant or dispersant ethylene-α-olefin copolymer (e.g., propylene, 1-butene, or 1-pentene as α-olefin) or a hydrogenated product thereof, polyisobutylene or a hydrogenated product thereof, a hydrogenated product of a styrene-diene copolymer, a styrene-maleic anhydride ester copolymer, and polyalkyl styrene.
- The molecular weight of a viscosity index improver needs to be selected in consideration of shear stability of the lubricant composition. For example, the weight-average molecular weight of a viscosity index improver that can be used is usually from 5,000 to 1,000,000 and preferably from 100,000 to 900,000 for dispersant or non-dispersant polymethacrylate, it is usually from 800 to 5,000 and preferably from 1,000 to 4,000 for polyisobutylene or a hydrogenated product thereof, it is usually from 800 to 500,000 and preferably from 3,000 to 200,000 for an ethylene-α-olefin copolymer or a hydrogenated product thereof.
- Of the above viscosity index improvers, when an ethylene-α-olefin copolymer or a hydrogenated product thereof is used, a lubricant composition which has particularly excellent shear stability can be obtained. One type or two or more types of compounds selected from the above-described viscosity index improvers in arbitrary amounts can be mixed. The content of a viscosity index improver in the lubricant composition is from 0.01% to 20% by weight, preferably from 0.02% to 10% by weight, and more preferably from 0.05% to 5% by weight based on the total amount of the composition.

- Examples of a metallic cleaner include those containing compounds selected from sulfonate, phenate, salicylate, or carboxylate of calcium, magnesium, barium, or the like. It is possible to arbitrarily select and use overbased salts, basic salts, neutral salts, and the like having different base values.

- Examples of a rust inhibitor include petroleum sulfonates, alkyl sulfonates, fatty acids, fatty acid soaps, fatty acid amines, alkyl polyoxyalkylenes, alkenyl succinic acid esters, and polyhydric alcohol fatty acid esters. A rust inhibitor is usually blended in an amount of 0.01% to 5% by weight in the lubricant composition.
- Examples of a demulsifier include polyalkylene glycol-based nonionic surfactants such as polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, polyoxyethylene alkyl phenyl ethers, and polyoxyethylene alkyl naphthyl ethers.

- Examples of a metal deactivator include pyrroles, imidazoles, pyrazoles, pyrazines, pyrimidines, pyridazines, triazines, triazoles, thiazoles, and thiadiazoles. A metal deactivator is usually blended in an amount of 0.01% to 3% by weight in the lubricant composition.
- Examples of a defoamer include dimethyl polysiloxanes and fluorinated derivatives thereof, polyacrylates and fluorinated derivatives thereof, and perfluoropolyethers. A defoamer is usually blended in an amount of 0.001% to 1% by weight in the lubricant composition.
- As a pour point depressant, for example, a polymethacrylate-based polymer or the like, which is suitable for a lubricant base oil to be used, can be used. A pour point depressant is usually blended in an amount of 0.01% to 3% by weight in the lubricant composition.
- Kinematic viscosity at 40°C of the lubricant composition of the present invention is preferably from 20 to 120 mm2/s, more preferably from 40 to 100 mm2/s, and still more preferably from 50 to 80 mm2/s.
