特許文献1は、グリース組成物に難燃性を付与するために、炭酸カリウム等の粉体の難燃添加剤をグリース組成物に配合するので、集中給脂方式の配管においてプラッギングが起こってしまう恐れがある。また、難燃添加剤の粉体によって軸受等の部品の摩耗が促進され、設備寿命を短くする恐れがある。 Since patent document 1 mix | blends the flame retardant additive of powder, such as potassium carbonate, with a grease composition, in order to provide a flame retardance to a grease composition, a plugging will occur in piping of a centralized greasing system There is a fear. In addition, the powder of the flame retardant additive promotes the wear of parts such as bearings, which may shorten the life of the equipment.

特許文献2には、基油に高分子量の減圧蒸留残渣油を20質量%以上含む自己消火性グリース組成物が記載されているが、このような粘度の高い鉱物油を用いるため、グリース組成物の低温粘度が増大し、寒冷地では集中給脂の際に圧送圧力が過大になり、圧送不良を引き起こす懸念がある。 Patent Document 2 describes a self-extinguishing grease composition containing 20% by mass or more of high-molecular weight vacuum distillation residue oil as a base oil, but since such a high viscosity mineral oil is used, the grease composition is described The low temperature viscosity increases, and in cold regions, there is a concern that pumping pressure may become excessive at the time of intensive lubrication, causing pumping failure.

特許文献3には、基油としてリン含有化合物を用いた難燃性グリース組成物が記載されているが、リン含有化合物の動粘度が小さすぎると難燃性及び自己消火性が低くなり、動粘度が大きすぎると流動性が悪くなり、グリース本来の性能が出にくくなると記載されているように、リン含有化合物の動粘度を特定範囲に制御する必要があり、また、基油としてリン含有化合物の含有量を全基油量に対して50質量%以上必要とされており、鉱油系のグリースに比べて取り扱い、コスト上、実用性に問題がある。   Patent Document 3 describes a flame retardant grease composition using a phosphorus-containing compound as a base oil, but if the kinematic viscosity of the phosphorus-containing compound is too small, the flame retardancy and the self-extinguishing property become low, It is necessary to control the dynamic viscosity of the phosphorus-containing compound within a specific range as described in the case where the viscosity is too high and the fluidity becomes worse and the inherent performance of the grease becomes difficult to obtain, and the phosphorus-containing compound as a base oil The content of 50% by mass or more relative to the total amount of base oil is required, and there is a problem in the handling, cost, and practicability as compared with mineral oil-based greases.

特許文献4には、水とポリアルキレングリーコールと吸水ポリマーを含有する難燃性グリース組成物が記載されているが、該難燃性グリース組成物は水を含むため、通常のグリースにおいて増ちょう剤として使用されているリチウム石けんやジウレア化合物は、水との馴染み性が悪く、使用できないことに加えて、水を含有しているため、製鉄設備の機械装置のような100℃を超える高温環境下に長時間放置されると、水が散逸して難燃性が消失してしまう恐れや、水が水蒸気となり配管内の圧力が上昇してしまう問題がある。   Patent Document 4 describes a flame retardant grease composition containing water, polyalkylene glycol and a water absorbing polymer, but since the flame retardant grease composition contains water, it is increased in conventional greases. Since lithium soap and diurea compounds used as agents are poorly compatible with water and can not be used in addition to water, they contain water, so high temperature environments exceeding 100 ° C like mechanical equipment for steel making facilities If left under for a long time, there is a concern that the water may be dissipated and the flame retardancy may be lost, or the water may become water vapor to increase the pressure in the piping.

特許文献5は、耐火性・難燃性付与剤として第三リン酸カルシウムを配合するため、粉体である第三リン酸カルシウムは、集中給脂方式での配管でプラッギングを起こし、また、すべり軸受では、該耐火性・難燃性付与剤の粉体によって部品の摩耗が促進され、設備寿命を短くする恐れがある。   Since patent document 5 mix | blends tribasic calcium phosphate as a fire resistance and a flame retardance imparting agent, the tribasic calcium phosphate which is powder causes the plugging in piping by a centralized oil supply system, Moreover, in a slide bearing, this is said The powder of the fireproof and flame retardant imparts wear to the parts and may shorten the life of the equipment.

特許文献6は、該難燃性グリース組成物は水を含むため、通常のグリースにおいて増ちょう剤として使用されているリチウム石けんやジウレア化合物は、水との馴染み性が悪く、使用できないことに加えて、水を含有しているため、製鉄設備の機械装置のような100℃を超える高温環境下に長時間放置されると、水が散逸して難燃性が消失してしまう恐れや、水が水蒸気となり配管内の圧力が上昇してしまう問題がある。   In Patent Document 6, since the flame retardant grease composition contains water, lithium soaps and diurea compounds used as thickeners in ordinary greases have poor compatibility with water and can not be used. Water, which may cause water to dissipate and lose its flame retardancy if left in a high temperature environment exceeding 100 ° C for a long time, such as the machinery of a steelmaking facility. Becomes a steam and there is a problem that the pressure in piping will rise.

Although many vegetable oils have unsaturated bonds, it is possible to reduce the degree of unsaturation by treatment such as hydrogenation in the purification process. In the present invention, vegetable oils containing a high proportion of oleic acid are preferably used from the viewpoint of non-fire spreadability, heat stability and the like. As vegetable oil, what contains 60 mass% or more of oleic acid is preferable, and what is contained 70 mass% or more is more preferable. As such a vegetable oil containing a high proportion of oleic acid, high oleic canola oil, high oleic rapeseed oil, high oleic sunflower oil, high oleic soybean oil and the like can be preferably exemplified, and high oleic rapeseed oil ( HL rapeseed oil is particularly preferably used. In addition, vegetable oils can be reformed or modified by hydrogenation (hydrogenation) of part of double bonds of unsaturated fatty acids in vegetable oils. Such modification can improve oxidation stability more than general vegetable oils.

The thickening agent is at least one selected from the group consisting of metal soap type thickening agents, urea type thickening agents, inorganic type thickening agents, and organic type thickening agents. The blending amount varies depending on the affinity to the base oil and the hardness of the grease, but it is 3 to 20% by mass, preferably 3 to 10% by mass, and more preferably 5 to 8% by mass.

In the examples of the present invention, the ignition test was evaluated as non-fire spreadable in the case of 120 seconds or less in the case of a urea-based thickener and 60 seconds or less in the case of a lithium soap-based thickener.

本発明のグリース組成物の低温粘度の測定は以下の方法により行う。
低温粘度は、0℃における見掛け粘度をレオメーター装置を用いて測定した。0℃でせん断速度を1から1000s-1まで変化させていった際の10 s-1と100 s-1の粘度を評価した。せん断速度はひずみ速度ともよばれ、ひずみを与える速度であり、その単位がs-1になる。
また、本発明の実施例において低温粘度は、ウレア系増ちょう剤及びリチウム石けん系増ちょう剤の場合とも、10 s-1における粘度と100 s-1における粘度とがいずれとも100Pa・s以下となるものを圧送性に優れると評価した。
The measurement of the low temperature viscosity of the grease composition of the present invention is carried out by the following method.
Low temperature viscosity was measured by using a rheometer apparatus for apparent viscosity at 0 ° C. 0 was assessed 10 viscosity of s -1 and 100 s -1 when the shear rate went varied from 1 to 1000 s -1 at ° C.. The shear rate, also called strain rate, is the rate at which strain is applied, and its unit is s −1 .
Further, in the examples of the present invention, the low temperature viscosity is 100 Pa · s or less for both of the viscosity at 10 s -1 and the viscosity at 100 s -1 even in the case of urea thickener and lithium soap thickener. Were evaluated as excellent in pumpability.

上記結果から、基油に植物油を含有させると、非延焼性に優れると共に低温粘度性能に優れた効果を有している。すなわち、本発明は、鉄鋼設備等の機械装置の軸受等から漏れ出て下に蓄積した潤滑グリース組成物に高温のスケールが飛散して混入してきたり、高温雰囲気に晒されたりしても、 潤滑グリース組成物が延焼し難く、また機械装置の集中給脂の配管等においてプラッギングが起こり難い非延焼性潤滑グリース組成物である。
また、本発明のグリース組成物は、優れた低温粘度性能を備えているので、寒冷地での使用にも適しており、結果として、低温から高温までの広範囲の温度環境下で良好に使用できる。
From the above results, when the base oil contains a vegetable oil, it has excellent non-fire spreadability and excellent low temperature viscosity performance. That is, according to the present invention, even if the high temperature scale is scattered and mixed into the lubricating grease composition which has leaked out from the bearings of mechanical devices such as steel facilities and accumulated below, or is exposed to a high temperature atmosphere, The grease composition is a non-burning lubricating grease composition which is difficult to spread fire and which is less likely to cause plugging in piping etc. of centralized lubrication of machinery.
In addition, the grease composition of the present invention has excellent low temperature viscosity performance, so it is also suitable for use in cold regions, and as a result, it can be used well in a wide range of temperature environments from low temperature to high temperature. .
