Description

本発明は製鉄設備等の軸受や歯車に使用される難燃性グリース組成物に関する。詳しくは、高温のスケール等が飛散して、グリースに着火し、火災が懸念される箇所に使用可能な難燃性グリース組成物に関する。   The present invention relates to a flame retardant grease composition used for bearings and gears of steelmaking facilities and the like. More specifically, the present invention relates to a flame retardant grease composition that can be used in places where high-temperature scales and the like are scattered to ignite grease and there is a risk of fire.

製鉄設備、鍛造設備などの塑性加工設備の軸受や歯車の潤滑にはグリースが多用されている。しかし、これらの設備は高温に曝されるため、使用済みのグリースが設備の下に垂れ落ちて堆積し、堆積したグリースが高温に曝されたり、スケールが飛散した場合にグリースに着火し、それに起因する火災が問題視されている。このような火災が発生しないよう、通常、垂れ落ちたグリースを人手で除去するが、人が入り難いような狭い場所に垂れ落ちて堆積したグリースの除去は困難である。万一火災が発生したとしても、火災が直ちに発見されれば消火は容易であるが、自動化が進んだ設備では人手が少なく、必ずしも火災が直ちに発見されるとは限らない。火災の発見が遅れると、消火が困難となり、あるいは不可能となることも起こり得る。従って、難燃性及び自己消火性に優れた潤滑グリース組成物が求められている。
難燃性に優れたグリース組成物として、特許文献1および特許文献2には難燃性に有効な粉体を添加したグリースが開示されているが、集中給脂方式で使用すると、添加した粉体により配管及び分配弁内でプラッギングが発生する恐れがある。
特許文献3には、グリースに吸水性ポリマーと水を含ませた難燃性グリース組成物が開示されているが、100℃を越す高温環境に長時間放置されると、水が蒸発して難燃性が消失してしまう恐れがある。
特許文献4には軟膏缶燃焼試験で自己消火時間が5分以内の自己消火性グリース組成物が開示されている。
他方、製鉄設備に使用される軸受や歯車は通常高荷重、衝撃荷重の条件下で運転されるため、難燃性及び自己消火性だけでなく、軸受や歯車等の損傷を防ぐために、グリース組成物には優れた耐荷重性も同時に求められている。
特許文献5には耐荷重性が優れ、かつ自己消火性に優れるグリース組成物が開示されており、製鉄設備等の火災の減少に大きく貢献したが、更なる安全性の確保のため、より着火し難い自己消火性グリースの要求は後を絶たない。
Grease is often used to lubricate bearings and gears in plastic processing equipment such as steelmaking and forging equipment. However, because these facilities are exposed to high temperatures, used grease drips and accumulates under the facilities, and when the accumulated grease is exposed to high temperatures or the scales scatter, the grease ignites, The resulting fire is regarded as a problem. In order to prevent the occurrence of such a fire, usually, the grease that has dropped is manually removed, but it is difficult to remove the grease that has accumulated in a narrow place where it is difficult for a person to enter. Even if a fire breaks out, it is easy to extinguish it if it is detected immediately. However, there is not much manpower in an automated facility, and a fire is not always detected immediately. If the discovery of a fire is delayed, extinguishing can be difficult or impossible. Accordingly, there is a need for a lubricating grease composition that is excellent in flame retardancy and self-extinguishing properties.
As grease compositions having excellent flame retardancy, Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose greases to which powders effective for flame retardancy are added. However, when used in a centralized greasing system, the added powders are disclosed. The body may cause plugging in the piping and distribution valve.
Patent Document 3 discloses a flame retardant grease composition in which a water-absorbing polymer and water are contained in grease. However, if the grease is left in a high temperature environment exceeding 100 ° C. for a long time, the water is difficult to evaporate. The flammability may be lost.
Patent Document 4 discloses a self-extinguishing grease composition having a self-extinguishing time of 5 minutes or less in an ointment can combustion test.
On the other hand, since bearings and gears used in steelmaking facilities are usually operated under conditions of high load and impact load, not only flame resistance and self-extinguishing properties, but also to prevent damage to the bearings and gears, etc. The product is also required to have excellent load resistance.
Patent Document 5 discloses a grease composition with excellent load bearing capability and excellent self-extinguishing properties, which has greatly contributed to the reduction of fires in steelmaking facilities and the like. The demand for self-extinguishing grease is difficult.
