Definitions

  • the invention relates to polyurea lubricating grease compositions containing polyurea thickener and at least one organic carbonate, lubrication points or components containing the polyurea lubricating grease composition and a seal comprising a sealing material made of fluorinated elastomers and the use of the lubricating greases.
  • Lubricants For tribological systems, as used in many technical applications, it is important to use lubricants to reduce friction and wear on the contact surfaces of moving parts. Depending on the area of application, lubricants of different consistencies can be used. Lubricating oils have a liquid and flowable consistency, while lubricating greases have a semi-solid to solid - often gel-like - consistency.
  • a characteristic of a lubricating grease is that a liquid oil component is absorbed and retained by a thickener component.
  • the pasty nature of a lubricating grease and its property of being spreadable and easily plastically deformable, together with the property of being able to adhere, ensures that the lubricating grease wets the lubrication point and that the lubricating effect unfolds on the tribologically stressed surfaces.
  • lubricating greases essentially comprise a thickening agent that is present in a base oil.
  • Lubricating greases are often used in encapsulated or sealed environments in order to protect the lubrication point from water, to minimize grease losses and to prevent the ingress of particles such as sand or dust.
  • Typical applications for lubricating greases are the lubrication of roller bearings, slide bearings, gears or constant velocity universal joint shafts.
  • Polyurea greases are often used for lubrication points that are exposed to high temperatures and / or aggressive environments. If sealing materials are used in such conditions of use, fluorinated elastomers that are more thermally and chemically particularly resilient are often used with regard to the selection of the sealing material. The combination of such a lubricating grease / sealing material pairing is often restricted, since the fluorinated elastomers tend to harden or even become brittle in the presence of the polyurea lubricating greases.
  • Carbonates such as ethylene carbonate (CN107903987 A) or propylene carbonate (US4298481 A) are known in lubricating greases as activators / dispersants for inorganic thickeners, but not as additives for polyurea thickeners.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve the performance properties of polyurea lubricating greases, for example with regard to consistency, shear stability and service life, and in particular the lubricating grease should not or as little post-hardening as possible. Furthermore, polyurea lubricating greases are to be made available which have improved compatibility with fluorinated elastomers, such as those used as sealing materials, whereby the lubricating grease should not be adversely affected in its performance properties by any additives to increase the compatibility with fluorinated elastomers.

  • What applies to pure polyurea fats can also be applied to mixed thickener systems with polyurea thickeners.
  • the production of polyurea fats with lime soap content (simple and complex soaps of hydroxymonocarboxylic acids, for example 12-hydroxystearic acid) is disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,084,193, for example.
  • the process of US 5084193 can also be used to produce the polyurea greases according to the invention.
  • the lubricating greases according to the invention are particularly suitable for use in or for plain bearings, roller bearings, gears or also constant velocity universal joint shafts.
  • the lubricating greases according to the invention, containing predominantly polyurea thickeners as thickeners, are particularly suitable as high-temperature greases.
  • the selection of fluorinated elastomers as materials for seals of various designs is often dictated by the conditions of use such as high temperature and / or chemically aggressive media, as these materials have exceptional resistance to heat, weather conditions and numerous chemicals.
  • Fluorororubbers (often abbreviated as FKM or FPM) belong to the class of fluorinated elastomers. For crosslinking, depending on the desired fluoroelastomer properties, e.g. diamine, bisphenolic or peroxide crosslinks are used. Fluoro rubbers are those rubbers that have vinylidene (di) fluoride (VDF) as one of their monomers as a common feature. The two most important types of fluororubbers are copolymers of vinylidene fluoride (VDF) and hexafluoropropylene (HFP) and terpolymers of VDF, HFP and tetrafluoroethylene (TFE). Typical commercial products for fluoro rubbers are under the brands Viton®, Tecnoflon®, Dyneon® or Dai-El®. expelled.
  • VDF vinylidene fluoride
  • HFP hexafluoropropylene
  • TFE tetra
  • fluorinated Elastomers B. perfluorinated rubber (FFKM), tetrafluoroethylene / propylene rubbers (FEPM) and fluorinated silicone rubbers (FVMQ).
  • FFKM perfluorinated rubber
  • FEPM tetrafluoroethylene / propylene rubbers
  • FVMQ fluorinated silicone rubbers
  • the sealing materials are used in the form of or as part of seals at the lubrication points where the polyurea grease is used.
  • Seals are a widely differentiated class of important construction elements. In principle, it can be divided into static and dynamic sealing points. Lubrication is particularly necessary for moving parts, so the seals often relate to dynamic sealing points. But the static housing seal, for example from gearboxes as leak protection, is also included as an example of static seals.
  • the seals are e.g. designed as O-rings or profile rings, radial shaft seals, mechanical seals, stuffing box seals, flat seals, lip seals, wipers, sealing cords.
  • Examples of applications are radial shaft seals for generator shafts, stuffing box seals for pumps, mechanical seals for chemical reactors or bead mills (sealing of the stirrer shaft), shaft seals in dryers, screw conveyors and conveyor belts, sealing elements for hydraulic and pneumatic systems (presses, construction vehicles, etc. .) and seals for roller bearings and plain bearings.
  • Example 1 Production of the fats B1-A to B1-C 630 g of group II oil (hard-hydrogenated, paraffinic; 105-110 cSt at 40 ° C.) were placed in a heatable reaction vessel with a stirrer. 113.4 g of 4,4-methylene-bis-diphenyl diisocyanate were added and the contents of the reaction vessel were heated to 60 ° C. with stirring. 630 g of PAO 8 were placed in a further heatable vessel with a stirrer, and 87.6 g of p-toluidine and 9.0 g of cyclohexylamine were added. The contents of the jar were heated to 60 ° C.
  • group II oil hard-hydrogenated, paraffinic; 105-110 cSt at 40 ° C.
  • the properties of the resulting polyurea fat containing calcium soap are summarized in Table 3.
  • the dropping point was determined in accordance with DIN ISO 2176.
  • the compatibility of the polyurea greases with fluorinated elastomers is determined using a vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (type: SRE-FKM / 2X according to DIN ISO 13226). For this purpose, test specimens with a diameter of 30 mm and a thickness of 2 mm were punched out of an elastomer plate made of SRE-FKM / 2X. The test specimens were stored in the polyurea greases described above at 180 ° C. or 160 ° C. for 7 days and then evaluated.
  • a vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer type: SRE-FKM / 2X according to DIN ISO 13226.
  • the evaluation of the fluorinated elastomers took place after wiping off the grease with a clean cloth by: a) Determination of the penetration hardness (Shore A) according to DIN EN ISO 7619-1, whereby the test specimen had a penetration hardness (Shore A) of 78 before the treatment, and b) bending tests by hand.
  • the bending tests were carried out by bending the elastomer over a tube with a diameter of 3 cm and 1 cm. The elasticity of the elastomer was evaluated.
  • the fluorinated elastomers When the propylene carbonate is used in polyurea grease, the fluorinated elastomers have less or no tendency to harden. According to the recommendation of the elastomer manufacturer, greases that cause a change in hardness of significantly more than 10 points with regard to the penetration hardness (Shore A) according to DIN EN ISO 7619-1 are considered incompatible with the elastomer concerned.
  • the addition of carbonates can improve the properties in terms of service life and post-hardening behavior.
