Definitions
- Aqueous lubricating composition comprising a gallic acid ester
- the present invention relates to the field of lubricating compositions. These lubricating compositions can be used for different applications, in particular as hydraulic fluids, for the lubrication and/or cooling of various mechanical systems, such as bearings, gears, bearings or motors.
- the present invention aims to propose a new aqueous-based lubricating composition
- Lubricating compositions also called “lubricants”, are commonly used in mechanical systems to reduce friction between parts and thus protect them against wear. In addition to wear phenomena, friction can oppose the relative movement of the parts in contact and induce energy losses detrimental to optimal operation of the mechanical system.
- Lubricants are used for multiple applications, for example for metalworking, in particular for metal deformation operations, for gas or steam turbines in the fields of aeronautics, naval, rail transport and the production of electricity, for propulsion systems of motor vehicles, for example for the lubrication of bearings, gears, a motor, etc.
- the formulation of lubricants represents an important issue insofar as they make it possible to act on fuel consumption and, consequently, on carbon dioxide emissions. carbon, via their impact on the friction forces generated between the different components of motor vehicles.
- hydrocarbon-based lubricants conventionally composed of one or more base oils, to which are generally associated additives dedicated to boosting the lubricating performance of the base oils, such as for example friction modifier additives.
- friction between moving parts generates heat, and it may be necessary to ensure, together with lubrication, cooling of mechanical systems or machined parts.
- This cooling is typically provided by a cooling fluid, distinct from the hydrocarbon lubricant, such as for example air, an aqueous fluid, such as water or even by a mixture of water and a glycol.
- water is an excellent cooling fluid, it does not, however, have the tribological properties required for a lubricant, particularly in terms of reducing friction and protecting parts against wear.
- aqueous lubricants are thus made up of an aqueous fraction and an organic fraction.
- document US 2012/0149616 proposes an aqueous lubricant comprising, in addition to water, water-soluble polyalkylene glycols, emulsifiers, anti-freeze additives of the alkylene glycol or glycerol type, anti-corrosion additives, anti-foam additives and friction reducing additives.
- aqueous lubricants polyalkylene glycols, organic surfactants, biocomponents
- aqueous lubricants do not provide sufficient lubricating properties under severe conditions (temperature and/or pressure conditions).
- high, severe mechanical contacts, high shear, etc. also known as “limit regime” lubrication conditions (defined for example in the Engineering Techniques Manual, Introduction to tribology, Part 2.1, Jean Frêne and Hamid Za ⁇ di , publication date September 10, 2017).
- limit regime lubrication conditions
- aqueous lubricants therefore involves running-in conditions and specific materials or design of parts, which represents an obstacle to their widespread use as a replacement for conventional hydrocarbon lubrication.
- nanoparticles of solid lubricant nanoparticles of solid lubricant (nanodiamond, M0S2, WS3, graphite, etc.) suspended in an aqueous fluid.
- solid lubricant nanoparticles of solid lubricant (nanodiamond, M0S2, WS3, graphite, etc.) suspended in an aqueous fluid.
- the use of these solid particles is not without posing problems of stability, use of the lubricant and safety from a toxicological point of view.
- a new formulation of water-based lubricant comprising glycerol and hypericin, was proposed in application WO 2021/1259851.
- the present invention aims precisely to propose a new aqueous lubricant, having particularly advantageous tribological properties, in particular good friction reduction and wear resistance properties, allowing its implementation in applications imposing severe lubrication constraints. , especially under conditions of high pressure and shear stress.
- the present invention relates, according to a first of its aspects, to an aqueous lubricating composition, comprising at least:
- At least one antifreeze compound chosen from glycols, preferably alkylene glycols; glycerol; diglycerol; triglycerol, and mixtures thereof;
- aqueous composition within the meaning of the present invention, is meant a composition comprising water as base fluid, in other words as the majority solvent.
- water preferably represents more than 35% by weight of the total mass of the lubricating composition.
- aqueous lubricating composition or “aqueous lubricant” will be designated a lubricating composition according to the invention as defined above.
- Gallic acid is found naturally in different plants and is known for its antioxidant, antitumor and antibacterial properties. Furthermore, certain gallic acid esters have already been proposed as antioxidant additives in the food industry (propyl gallate is known under the name “E310” antioxidant) or in vegetable oils (Lida A. Quinchia et al., Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2011, 29, 12917-12924).
- At least one antifreeze compound chosen from glycols, of at least one ester of gallic acid and of at least a polyalkylene glycol, to access an aqueous formulation having excellent tribological properties.
- an aqueous lubricant according to the invention thus has good performance in terms of reducing friction, in particular under severe operating conditions.
- the invention thus relates to the use of at least one ester of gallic acid as an additive to improve the tribological properties, in particular in terms of reducing friction, of an aqueous composition further comprising at least: water, at least one polyalkylene glycol, at least one antifreeze compound chosen from glycols, and at least one pH regulating additive maintaining the pH of said composition between 8 and 15.
- the aqueous lubricating compositions formulated according to the invention allow a reduction in wear and friction such that they can be considered "super-lubricating", namely that the friction phenomena can be considered insignificant, or even harmed, even under severe lubrication conditions.
- This phenomenon of extreme reduction of wear and friction between moving mechanical parts is known under the term “superlubricity” in English.
- aqueous lubricating compositions according to the invention even under conditions of severe lubrication regime, thus authorize their widespread use. They thus prove suitable for use as lubricants for multiple applications, in particular as hydraulic fluids, for the lubrication and/or cooling of various mechanical systems, in particular under severe lubrication conditions. They can thus be used in all systems and for all applications, replacing conventionally used lubricants, in particular hydrocarbon lubricants. Application examples are given later in the text.
- the invention thus relates, according to another of its aspects, to the use of an aqueous lubricating composition according to the invention, for the lubrication and/or cooling of moving parts in a mechanical system, for example for the lubrication and /or cooling of mobile or stationary motor systems, or as hydraulic fluid.
- the present application also relates to the use of an aqueous lubricating composition according to the invention, to reduce friction between moving parts in a mechanical system, as well as the use of an aqueous lubricating composition according to the invention to reduce friction. wear of parts in a mechanical system.
- an aqueous lubricant according to the invention can be used to reduce friction and/or wear of moving parts in a mobile or stationary motor system, for example at the transmission part of 'a vehicle propulsion system.
- An aqueous lubricant according to the invention can also be used to reduce friction and/or wear of the various components, particularly metallic ones, in a hydraulic system.
- a composition according to the invention combines good cooling properties linked to the presence of water, and good tribological properties, in particular friction reduction and wear resistance.
- an aqueous composition according to the invention can advantageously provide the dual function of lubrication and cooling.
- composition according to the invention has the advantage of being easy to formulate.
- it also has good anti-corrosion properties.

- biosourced we mean any component of plant or animal origin, preferably plant-based.
- a lubricating composition according to the invention formed mainly of water, and comprising at least one biosourced additive, thus meets expectations in terms of reducing the use of substances harmful to the environment, while achieving lubrication performance. equivalent to those of conventional oil-based lubricants.
- percentages are weight percentages. The percentages are therefore expressed in mass relative to the total mass of the composition.
- an aqueous lubricating composition according to the invention is a formulation comprising water as the majority solvent.
- an aqueous lubricating composition according to the invention comprises at least 20% by weight of water, in particular deionized water, preferably at least 30% by weight, in particular between 35% and 90% by weight, more preferably between 40%. and 75% by weight, relative to the total mass of the composition.
- water By its role as solvent, water allows, at the desired pH of said composition, to solubilize the polyalkylene glycol(s), the glycol-type antifreeze compound(s) and the gallic acid ester(s), as well as any additive optionally present in the composition, in particular chosen from those detailed in the remainder of the text.
- water in addition to its role as a solvent, water provides access to a lubricating composition having good cooling properties, and which can be used as a cooling fluid for moving parts in a mechanical system.
- the water used in an aqueous lubricating composition according to the invention is osmosis or demineralized water, more preferably deionized water.
- osmosis water within the meaning of the present invention, is meant water having undergone purification, in particular by a reverse osmosis process, in order to reduce the content of organic and/or mineral compounds, for example to a lower content. at 5.0% by weight, preferably less than 1.0% by weight.
- reverse osmosis water can be “deionized water”, in other words water having undergone purification in order to reduce the content of ions, such as Ca 2+ and HCO3' ions generally present in water.
- deionized water does not include ions.
- deionized water is therefore particularly advantageous in the context of the use of the aqueous lubricant according to the invention for applications requiring a fluid that conducts little, if at all, electricity, such as for example for use of the aqueous lubricant for the lubrication and cooling of mechanical systems comprising an electrical circuit, for example electric or hybrid motors, in particular in electric or hybrid vehicles.

- an oil that is not soluble in water has a solubility in water of less than 0.2 g/L, at room temperature.
