Definitions
- the invention concerns additive compositions and lubricating compositions for use in a low phosphorus environment, which provide excellent phosphorus retention and improved resistance to lead and copper corrosion.
- OEMs Original Equipment Manufacturers
- lubricant companies expect government to mandate even stricter fuel economy and emission requirements in the future.
- Many, if not all, of the vehicles now on the road contain pollution control devices to reduce pollution.
- Engine oils are formulated with antioxidants, friction modifiers, dispersants and antiwear additives to improve vehicle fuel economy, cleanliness and wear. Unfortunately, many of these additives contribute to the fouling of the pollution control devices. When this occurs, vehicles emit high levels of pollution because of the failing performance of the pollution control devices.
- Molybdenum additives are well known to those skilled in the art of oil formulation to act as friction modifiers to reduce engine friction and thereby improve vehicle fuel economy. However, it is also well known that high levels of molybdenum in engine oil can cause engine corrosion and wear. When this occurs, engine life expectancy is greatly reduced.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,806,241 which is incorporated herein by reference, teaches a three-component antioxidant additive comprising: (1) an organomolybdenum compound, (2) an alklyated diphenylamine and (3) a sulfur compound being a thiadiazole and/or dithiocarbamate.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,840,672 which is incorporated herein by reference, describes an antioxidant system for lubrication base oils as a three-component system comprising (1) an organomolybdenum compound, (2) an alkylated diphenylamine and (3) a sulfurized olefin and/or sulfurized hindered phenol.
- a novel lubricant composition has been discovered that contains friction modifiers, antiwear additives, antioxidants and corrosion inhibitors with a high molybedenum and low phosphorus content that offers excellent fuel economy while maintaining good corrosion and wear protection and significantly reduced level of phosphorus volatility.
- the novel lubricant composition contains 600 ppm or less of phosphorus and 800 ppm or less of molybedenum. It can be used as a top treat to existing fully formulated gasoline or diesel engine oils or combined with one or more dispersants, detergents, VI improvers, base oils and any other additive(s) needed to make fully formulated engine oil.
- an organomolybdenum compound which provides about 0.1-800 ppm Mo, preferably 50-800 ppm, more preferably about 700 ppm; (2) an alkylated diphenylamine, at about 0.1-2.0%, preferably about 0.25-1.25%, more preferably about 0.5-1.5%; (3) a hindered phenol, at about 0.1-2.0%, preferably about 0.5-1.5%, more preferably about 0.75-1.5% and (4) a dithiocarbamate, at about 0.1-2.0%, preferably about 0.25-1.5%, more preferably about 0.4-1.0%, and most preferably about 0.4-0.9%.
- the additive composition comprises, in combination with a lubricating base blend to form a lubricating composition, following in weight % of the total lubricating composition:
- an organomolybdenum compound which provides about 0.1-800 ppm Mo, preferably 50-800 ppm, more preferably about 700 ppm; (2) a hindered phenol, at about 0.1-2.0%, preferably 0.5-2.0%; more preferably about 0.50-1.5%, and (3) a zinc dithiocarbamate, at about 0.1-2.0%, preferably 0.5-1.5%, more preferably about 0.5-1.0%.

- oils of the current invention contain only one-third the amount of phosphorus that is found in conventional GF-5 motor oils. All ILSAC GF-5 motor oils are required to contain 600 ppm phosphorus minimum (for wear control) and 800 ppm phosphorus maximum (for exhaust system compatibility). When combined with the excellent phosphorus retention levels of this invention, the low levels of phosphorus in the engine oil will result in a significant reduction in exhaust system catalyst poisoning and therefore significantly improved exhaust system compatibility.

Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/071,785, filed Mar. 25, 2011, which claims priority of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/317,499, filed Mar. 25, 2010.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention concerns additive compositions and lubricating compositions for use in a low phosphorus environment, which provide excellent phosphorus retention and improved resistance to lead and copper corrosion.
- 2. Discussion of the Prior Art
- Government regulations over the last several decades have required Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to improve fuel economy and reduce pollution emissions for gasoline and diesel powered vehicles. It is common knowledge that OEMs and lubricant companies expect government to mandate even stricter fuel economy and emission requirements in the future. Many, if not all, of the vehicles now on the road contain pollution control devices to reduce pollution.
- Engine oils are formulated with antioxidants, friction modifiers, dispersants and antiwear additives to improve vehicle fuel economy, cleanliness and wear. Unfortunately, many of these additives contribute to the fouling of the pollution control devices. When this occurs, vehicles emit high levels of pollution because of the failing performance of the pollution control devices.
- It has been determined that high levels of phosphorus, sulfur and ash in gasoline and diesel engine oils can negatively affect the performance of pollution control devices. Not only is the level of phosphorus in engine oil important for the proper performance of pollution control devices but also phosphorus volatility. Phosphorous volatility can have a significant negative impact on the performance of pollution control devices. For example, phosphorus compounds with a high level of phosphorus volatility will have a greater negative impact on the performance of vehicle pollution control devices than phosphorus compounds with a low level of phosphorus volatility. New gasoline and diesel engine oil specifications require engine oils to contain low levels of phosphorus, sulfur and ash to protect the pollution control devices. Unfortunately, the antiwear additives used in engine oils to protect the engine contain sulfur and phosphorus. To ensure proper wear protection for gasoline powered engines and the pollution control equipment, GF-5, the most recent engine oil specification for gasoline powered vehicles, specifies a phosphorus range of 600 and 800 ppm and phosphorus volatility retention of at least 79% minimum.
- Molybdenum additives are well known to those skilled in the art of oil formulation to act as friction modifiers to reduce engine friction and thereby improve vehicle fuel economy. However, it is also well known that high levels of molybdenum in engine oil can cause engine corrosion and wear. When this occurs, engine life expectancy is greatly reduced.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,806,241, which is incorporated herein by reference, teaches a three-component antioxidant additive comprising: (1) an organomolybdenum compound, (2) an alklyated diphenylamine and (3) a sulfur compound being a thiadiazole and/or dithiocarbamate.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,840,672, which is incorporated herein by reference, describes an antioxidant system for lubrication base oils as a three-component system comprising (1) an organomolybdenum compound, (2) an alkylated diphenylamine and (3) a sulfurized olefin and/or sulfurized hindered phenol.
- A novel lubricant composition has been discovered that contains friction modifiers, antiwear additives, antioxidants and corrosion inhibitors with a high molybedenum and low phosphorus content that offers excellent fuel economy while maintaining good corrosion and wear protection and significantly reduced level of phosphorus volatility.
- The novel lubricant composition contains 600 ppm or less of phosphorus and 800 ppm or less of molybedenum. It can be used as a top treat to existing fully formulated gasoline or diesel engine oils or combined with one or more dispersants, detergents, VI improvers, base oils and any other additive(s) needed to make fully formulated engine oil.
- Surprisingly, it has been discovered that the above objectives can be achieved with an additive composition in combination with a lubricating base blend to form a lubricating composition, the additive comprising, as weight percent of a total lubricating composition
- (1) an organomolybdenum compound, which provides about 0.1-800 ppm Mo, preferably 50-800 ppm, more preferably about 700 ppm;
(2) an alkylated diphenylamine, at about 0.1-2.0%, preferably about 0.25-1.25%, more preferably about 0.5-1.5%;
(3) a hindered phenol, at about 0.1-2.0%, preferably about 0.5-1.5%, more preferably about 0.75-1.5% and
(4) a dithiocarbamate, at about 0.1-2.0%, preferably about 0.25-1.5%, more preferably about 0.4-1.0%, and most preferably about 0.4-0.9%. - It has also been discovered that surprising results in terms of corrosion resistance are achieved by an alternate embodiment, in which the presence of zinc dithiocarbamate obviates the need for an alklyated diphenylamine. The additive composition comprises, in combination with a lubricating base blend to form a lubricating composition, following in weight % of the total lubricating composition:
- (1) an organomolybdenum compound, which provides about 0.1-800 ppm Mo, preferably 50-800 ppm, more preferably about 700 ppm;
(2) a hindered phenol, at about 0.1-2.0%, preferably 0.5-2.0%; more preferably about 0.50-1.5%, and
(3) a zinc dithiocarbamate, at about 0.1-2.0%, preferably 0.5-1.5%, more preferably about 0.5-1.0%. - A particular embodiment of System B, therefore, is as a lubricating composition comprising a base blend in combination with the System B additive, which lubricating composition is substantially free of alkylated diphenylmamine.
- A preferred organomolybdenum compound is prepared by reacting about 1 mole of fatty oil, about 1.0 to 2.5 moles of diethanolamine and a molybdenum source sufficient to yield about 0.1 to 12.0 percent of molybdenum based on the weight of the complex at elevated temperatures (i.e. greater than room temperature). A temperature range of about 70° to 160° C. is considered to be an example of an embodiment of the invention. The organomolybdenum component of the invention is prepared by sequentially reacting fatty oil, diethanolamine and a molybdenum source by the condensation method described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,889,647, incorporated herein by reference, and is commercially available from R.T. Vanderbilt Company, Inc. of Norwalk, Conn. as Molyvan® 855. The reaction yields a reaction product mixture. The major components are believed to have the structural formulae:
- wherein R′ represents a fatty oil residue. An embodiment for the present invention are fatty oils which are glyceryl esters of higher fatty acids containing at least 12 carbon atoms and may contain 22 carbon atoms and higher. Such esters are commonly known as vegetable and animal oils. Examples of useful vegetable oils are oils derived from coconut, corn, cottonseed, linseed, peanut, soybean and sunflower seed. Similarly, animal fatty oils such as tallow may be used. The source of molybdenum may be an oxygen-containing molybdenum compound capable of reacting with the intermediate reaction product of fatty oil and diethanolamine to form an ester-type molybdenum complex. The source of molybdenum includes, among others, ammonium molybdates, molybdenum oxides and mixtures thereof.
- A sulfur- and phosphorus-free organomolybdenum compound that may be used may be prepared by reacting a sulfur- and phosphorus-free molybdenum source with an organic compound containing amino and/or alcohol groups. Examples of sulfur- and phosphorus-free molybdenum sources include molybdenum trioxide, ammonium molybdate, sodium molybdate and potassium molybdate. The amino groups may be monoamines, diamines, or polyamines. The alcohol groups may be mono-substituted alcohols, diols or bis-alcohols, or polyalcohols. As an example, the reaction of diamines with fatty oils produces a product containing both amino and alcohol groups that can react with the sulfur- and phosphorus-free molybdenum source.
- Examples of sulfur- and phosphorus-free organomolybdenum compounds include the following:
- 1. Compounds prepared by reacting certain basic nitrogen compounds with a molybdenum source as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,259,195 and 4,261,843.

K., and MOLYVAN®. from R. T. Vanderbilt Company, Inc.
- Sulfur-containing organomolybdenum compounds may be used and may be prepared by a variety of methods. One method involves reacting a sulfur and phosphorus-free molybdenum source with an amino group and one or more sulfur sources. Sulfur sources can include for example, but are not limited to, carbon disulfide, hydrogen sulfide, sodium sulfide and elemental sulfur. Alternatively, the sulfur-containing molybdenum compound may be prepared by reacting a sulfur-containing molybdenum source with an amino group or thiuram group and optionally a second sulfur source. Examples of sulfur- and phosphorus-free molybdenum sources include molybdenum trioxide, ammonium molybdate, sodium molybdate, potassium molybdate, and molybdenum halides. The amino groups may be monoamines, diamines, or polyamines. As an example, the reaction of molybdenum trioxide with a secondary amine and carbon disulfide produces molybdenum dithiocarbamates. Alternatively, the reaction of (NH4)2Mo3S13.H2O where n varies between 0 and 2, with a tetralkylthiuram disulfide, produces a trinuclear sulfur-containing molybdenum dithiocarbamate.

No. 5,840,672, which is hereby incorporated by reference. These secondary alkylated diphenylamines are described by the formula X—NH—Y, wherein X and Y each independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group having wherein the substituents for the phenyl group include alkyl groups having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably 4-12 carbon atoms, alkylaryl groups, hydroxyl, carboxy and nitro groups and wherein at least one of the phenyl groups is substituted with an alkyl group of 1 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably 4-12 carbon atoms.

- The dithiocarbamates of the formula IV are known compounds. One of the processes of preparation is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,492,314, which is hereby incorporated by reference. R13 and R14 in the formula IV represent branched and straight chain alkyl groups having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, M is a metal cation and n is an integer based upon the valency of the metal cation (e.g. n=1 for sodium (Na+); n=2 for zinc (Zn2+); etc.). Molybdenum dithiocarbamate processes are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,356,702; 4,098,705; and 5,627,146, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference. Substitution is described as branched or straight chain ranging from 8 to 13 carbon atoms in each alkyl group.
- Embodiments for the present invention include metal dithiocarbamates such as antimony, zinc, tungsten and molybdenum dithiocarbamates. A preferred metal dithiocarbamate is zinc diamyldithiocarbamate, available as Vanlube® AZ, but may also be zinc dibutyldithiocarbamate or piperidinium pentamethylene dithiocarbamate
- It is noted that molybdenum dithiocarbamate (e.g. molybdenum dialkyl dithiocarbamate available as Molyvan® 822) may be used in the present invention as both the required organomolybdenum compound and/or as the required dithiocarbamate. Where present as the sole dithiocarbamate, the relative amount of molybdenum dithiocarbamate should be counted as per the dithiocarbamate requirement set forth herein. Where a further dithiocarbamate is also present (e.g. zinc dithiocarbamate or ashless dithiocarbamate), the MoDTC should be counted toward the organomolybdenum compound requirement.
- The components of the additive compositions of the invention can either be added individually to a base blend to form the lubricating composition of the invention or they can be premixed to form an additive composition which can then be added to the base blend. The resulting lubricating composition should comprise a major amount (i.e. at least 85% by weight) of base blend and a minor amount (i.e. less than 10% by weight, preferably about 2-5%) of the additive composition.
- In order to satisfy the desire of industry to have an ultra-low phosphorus lubricating composition, the phosphorus level should be less than 600 ppm, preferably less than 300 ppm. The phosphorus may be provided in the form of zinc dialklydithiophosphate (ZDDP), in either conventional or fluorinated form (F-ZDDP), or as any ashless phosphorus source. It is also noted that while the inventive additive composition works to surprisingly reduce corrosion in ultra-low phosphorus oils, use of the additive composition is contemplated for base oils regardless of the phosphorus level.
- Molybdenum from the organomolybdenum compound should be in the range of 0.1-800 ppm as part of the entire lubricating oil composition. Alkylated diphenylamine should be in the range of about 0.1% to 2.0%; Hindered phenol should be in the range of about 0.1% to 2.0%; and the dithiocarbamate should be in the range of 0.1 to 2.0%.
- Zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates (“ZDDPs”) are also used in lubricating oils. ZDDPs have good antiwear and antioxidant properties and have been used to pass cam wear tests, such as the Seq. IVA and TU3 Wear Test. Many patents address the manufacture and use of ZDDPs including U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,904,401; 4,957,649; and 6,114,288. Non-limiting general ZDDP types are primary, secondary and mixtures of primary and secondary ZDDPs. mixtures of primary and secondary ZDDPs and low volatility phosphorous compounds described in, and function the same as the antiwear additives described in, the non-limiting patent applications US 2010/0062956 and US 2010/0056407. It is not necessary for the low volatility phosphorus containing antiwear additive to contain zinc. Nitrogen containing compounds can also be used in place of zinc. The terms low volatility is defined by the GF-5 specification. The GF-5 specification is the next passenger car motor oil specification which limits phosphorous volatility. Modification to this term in subsequent gasoline and diesel engine oil specifications are also included for reference. In general, any low volatile, phosphorus containing antiwear additive is suitable for use with this invention.
- A suitable base blend is any partially formulated engine oil consisting of one or more base oils, dispersants, detergents, VI improvers and any other additives such that when combined with the inventive composition constitutes a fully formulated motor oil. A base blend can also be any fully formulated engine oil for any gasoline, diesel, natural gas, bio-fuel powered vehicle that is top treated with the inventive composition. Base oils suitable for use in formulating the compositions, additives and concentrates described herein may be selected from any of the synthetic or natural oils or mixtures thereof. The synthetic base oils include alkyl esters of dicarboxylic acids, polyglycols and alcohols, poly-alpha-olefins, including polybutenes, alkyl benzenes, organic esters of phosphoric acids, polysilicone oils, and alkylene oxide polymers, interpolymers, copolymers and derivatives thereof where the terminal hydroxyl groups have been modified by esterification, etherification, and the like.
- Natural base oils include animal oils and vegetable oils (e.g., castor oil, lard oil), liquid petroleum oils and hydrorefined, solvent-treated or acid-treated mineral lubricating oils of the paraffinic, naphthenic and mixed paraffinic-naphthenic types. Oils of lubricating viscosity derived from coal or shale are also useful base oils. The base oil typically has a viscosity of about 2.5 to about 15 cSt and preferably about 2.5 to about 11 cSt at 100° C.
- The data in Table 1 demonstrate the superior Cu/Pb corrosion protection offered by the inventive additive composition, where numbers indicate weight percent as part of the entire lubricant composition. Corrosion resistance is measured according to HTCBT, High Temperature Corrosion Bench Test (ASTM D 6594), wherein lower number indicates less corrosion. The comparative prior art compounds C1, C5 and C10 are prepared according to U.S. Pat. No. 6,806,241. The molybdenum ester/amide can be found commercially as Molyvan® 855, manufactured by R.T. Vanderbilt Company.

Example 7, based on ashless dithiocarbamate, provides superior results compared to prior art example C5 (which lacks a hindered phenol). Additive compositions based on ashless dialkyldithiocarbamate achieve improved results when accompanied by a zinc dialkyldithiocarbamate (example 8, 9). Surprisingly, it is seen that the presence of zinc dialkyldithiocarbamate results in excellent protection, even without ADPA, as shown in Example 2; while using only ashless dialkyldithiocarbamate without zinc dialkyldithiocarbamate (example 6) requires the presence of ADPA in order to achieve the desired synergy.
- ASTM Test Method D 7589 measures the effects of automotive engine oils on the fuel economy of passenger cars and light duty trucks in the Sequence VID spark ignition engine. Fuel economy of the candidate oil is measured as % improvement over the SAE 10W-30 reference oil. FEI1 represents the “initial” fuel economy improvement (measured after 16 hours of break-in) and FEI2 represents the “aged” fuel economy improvement (measured after 100 hours of operation). The following data contains several different GF-4 formulations from the current invention (Systems A and B) that were run in this test, demonstrating superior fuel economy. The GF-4 base blend used in all formulations contains typical levels of dispersant and detergent additives and OCP viscosity modifier in Group III basestock. All formulations contain alkylated diphenylamine, hindered phenolic, and dithiocarbamate antioxidants. Formulation 15 is similar to Formulation 14, except it contains a much higher level of molybdenum and results in much improved fuel economy. Formulation 16 contains similar level of molybdenum as Formulation 15, but from a different organomolybdenum source, as well as an ashless dialkyldithiocarbamate. Formulation 16 also exhibits much improved fuel economy in the Seq. VID engine test.

Phosphorus retention, % NR NR NR 92.2 87.6 79% min. (GF-5 only) - The Sequence IIIG engine test measures oil thickening, piston deposit formation, and valve train wear during high-temperature conditions, simulating high-speed service during relatively high ambient temperature conditions using a 1996/1997 3.8 L Series II General Motors V-6 fuel-injected gasoline engine running on unleaded gasoline, operating at 125 bhp, 3,600 rpm, and 150° C. oil temperature for 100 hours according to ASTM D7320 test method. It is a severe test that is very difficult to pass with engine oil formulations containing less then 400 ppm phosphorus.
- Exhaust system catalyst compatibility of engine oils is measured by calculating the percent phosphorus retained in the engine oil at the end of the Sequence IIIG engine test. It is well known that phosphorus compounds that are volatilized from the engine oil can find their way through the engine's exhaust system and eventually reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system catalyst via poisoning effects, adversely affecting the vehicle compliance with government-regulated emissions requirements.
- Formulations 17 and 17′ (a reblend of 17) were subjected to the ASTM D7320 test protocol at two different test laboratories. In both cases, the oil formulations exhibited excellent oxidation and wear control. The ILSAC GF-4 specification requires oil viscosity increase of 150% maximum, weighted piston deposit merit rating of 3.5 minimum, and average cam & lifter wear of 60 microns maximum. ILSAC GF-4 does not have a requirement for phosphorus retention, however, ILSAC GF-5 requires phosphorus retention to be 79% minimum. Most conventional GF-5 oils on the market have phosphorus retention values in the range of 80-83%. Formulation 17 of the current invention clearly demonstrates superior performance, averaging 90% phosphorus retention based on tests conducted at two different laboratories. In addition, some of the oils of the current invention contain only one-third the amount of phosphorus that is found in conventional GF-5 motor oils. All ILSAC GF-5 motor oils are required to contain 600 ppm phosphorus minimum (for wear control) and 800 ppm phosphorus maximum (for exhaust system compatibility). When combined with the excellent phosphorus retention levels of this invention, the low levels of phosphorus in the engine oil will result in a significant reduction in exhaust system catalyst poisoning and therefore significantly improved exhaust system compatibility.
