Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a grease composition in which a grease is compounded with at least a wax and water as well as a process for production thereof.
  • the grease composition of the invention is not only useful as a grease having the functions of rust prevention, mud prevention, anti-fouling, lubrication, and the like for element parts requiring environmental countermeasures but also suitable for use in preventing welding spatters from adhering to an object to be welded such as a steel product.
  • anti-corrosion oils have been used from olden times.
  • most of the anti-corrosion oils are of the solvent diluted type, and various problems have occurred such as the problem of catching fire in the presence of a flame, environmental problems due to volatile solvents, the method of discarding, and the like.
  • the anti-corrosion oils excel in the rust preventing capability, the removing operation thereof is frequently difficult, and adverse effects are also exerted on the quality of products.
  • a grease composition which has been developed in recent years, one is known which can be used in a wide range of temperature regions from a low temperature to a high temperature and excels in anti-corrosion properties.
  • a lubricant base oil of a synthetic or mineral oil excelling in low-temperature properties, anti-corrosion properties, heat resistance, and load bearing properties is compounded with 5 to 50 wt. % of a calcium sulfonate complex compound excelling in low-temperature properties as a thickener.
  • the low-temperature properties are improved by making use of the characteristics of the calcium sulfonate complex compound (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-265969 A).
  • This grease composition contains sodium thiosulfate and inhibits the generation of rust and improves wear resistance while sufficiently maintaining extreme pressure properties.
  • This grease composition is one in which, in a grease composition containing 0.05 to 30 wt. % of sodium thiosulfate, 0.1 to 5 wt. % of at least one kind of additive selected from the group consisting of (A) calcium salicylate, magnesium salicylate, calcium phenate, and calcium sulfonate is compounded with respect to the total composition, and 0.1 to 5 wt. % of (B) benzotriazole is compounded, as required, with respect to the total composition (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-53889 A).
  • the present inventors developed a grease composition in the emulsion state by agitating at high speed water and a grease using as a base a calcium sulfonate complex-based thickener which is very high in the rust preventing capability. It was confirmed that this grease composition exhibits excellent properties in the anti-corrosion properties particularly after drying. Namely, it was confirmed that, in this grease composition, a calcium sulfonate complex film is formed on the applied surface during drying after its application, and that the film has a high rust preventing capability. In terms of its hardness, unlike the conventional solvent diluted type anti-corrosion oil, this grease composition, by being made soft, was also able to improve its removal performance whereby it is easy to remove before it solidifies.
  • a non-aqueous type for instance, uses an organic solvent, is therefore odorous and toxic, and is likely to constitute a cause for aggravating the environment of a work site.
  • the non-aqueous type is susceptible to the effect of heat generated during the welding operation, and produces such as the environmental problem due to the organic solvent, the problem of disposal, and so forth.
  • an aqueous type spatter adhesion preventing agent does not exert an adverse effect on the work environment during welding.
  • the aqueous type preventing agent has a problem in performance in that its effect of preventing the adhesion of the spatters to an object to be welded is not necessarily sufficient.
  • a thickener such as a calcium sulfonate complex
  • a surfactant is compounded to allow the water to be present in an emulsion state
  • a defoamer is compounded to prevent the generation of foam during application.
  • An admixture thereof is formed into a paste, and while 30 to 70 wt. % of water is being added, the admixture is agitated at high speed to be thereby formed into a satisfactory emulsion state.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a grease composition of a non-solvent diluted type which excels in the rust preventing capability and is capable of exhibiting performances of anti-mud properties, anti-fouling properties, and a lubricating function, whose environmental effect is not apprehended, and which is easy to remove.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a grease composition for the prevention of adhesion of welding spatters which is capable of effecting the prevention of the adhesion of spatters to an object to be welded while making use of the advantages of an aqueous type, and which enables improvement of its performances.
  • a grease composition according to the present invention is characterized by comprising: a grease produced by compounding at least one kind of base oil selected from the group consisting of a mineral oil-type lubricant base oil, a synthetic lubricant base oil, and a biodegradable lubricant base oil with a thickener; a wax; and water, wherein, based on the weight of the composition, an amount of the grease compounded is in a range of 15 to 40 wt. %, an amount of the wax compounded is in a range of 15 to 30 wt. %, and a balance is the water.
  • the thickener is constituted by at least one kind of component selected from the group consisting of a soap containing at least a calcium sulfonate complex or a lithium complex and a urea-based non-soap.
  • this grease composition it is preferable to use a carnauba wax as the wax.
  • the water is contained in the form of an emulsion in the composition, and the emulsion is formed by agitation by using a mixer or a homogenizer when the water and other components are mixed.
  • the grease composition may further comprise at least one kind of component selected from the group consisting of a surfactant and a defoamer.
  • the surfactant is compounded in a range of 0.01 to 10 wt. %, based on the weight of the composition.
  • the defoamer is compounded in a range of 0.01 to 5 wt. %, based on the weight of the composition.
  • the grease composition may optionally further comprise at least one kind of additive selected from the group consisting of a solid lubricant, an extreme pressure additive, and an oiliness agent.
  • this grease composition is used as a grease for lubrication.
  • the grease for lubrication is produced by adjusting a compounding ratio between the wax and the grease to 2:1, for example.
  • This grease composition is used as a grease for steel product surface treatment for mud prevention or for preventing the adhesion of marine organisms.
  • the grease for steel product surface treatment for mud prevention or for preventing the adhesion of marine organisms is produced by adjusting a compounding ratio between the wax and the grease to 1:2, for example.
  • the grease composition in accordance with the invention is used as a welding spatter adhesion preventing grease for preventing the adhesion of a spatter to a periphery of a weld during welding.
  • this welding spatter adhesion preventing grease preferably, based on the weight of the composition, the amount of the grease compounded is in a range of 15 to 20 wt. %, the amount of the wax compounded is in a range of 15 to 20 wt. %, and the balance is the water and an additive.
  • a process for producing a grease composition in accordance with the invention comprises: a first step of agitating a grease produced by compounding at least one kind of base oil selected from a mineral oil-type lubricant base oil, a synthetic lubricant base oil, and a biodegradable lubricant base oil with a thickener while gradually adding part of water thereto, to thereby form an emulsion; a second step of gradually adding a wax to the emulsion while agitating an admixture thereof, to thereby form an entirety into a paste; a third step of adding remaining water to the paste to form a liquid in an emulsion state; and a fourth step of filtering the liquid to thereby produce the grease composition.
  • the thickener is constituted by at least one kind of component selected from the group consisting of a soap containing a calcium sulfonate complex or a lithium complex and a urea-based non-soap.
  • the formation of the emulsion may preferably be promoted by adding a surfactant together with the water in the first step. Further, a defoamer is preferably added to the liquid formed in the third step.
  • the grease composition and the process for production thereof according to the present invention employ a thickener (for example, a calcium sulfonate complex) having an excellent rust preventing capability, as described above, and are therefore able to possess a high rust preventing capability due to its effect. Further, by virtue of the wax, adhesive power to a steel product becomes strong, and it is therefore possible to prevent the scattering of the grease composition.
  • a thickener for example, a calcium sulfonate complex
  • the grease composition can be made a non-solvent based grease composition. For this reason, the risk of catching fire is practically nil, and handling and applicability to a steel product are facilitated.
