Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a transmission oil formulation having advantageous viscosity properties, by means of which it is possible to lower the fuel consumption of motor vehicles.
  • the fresh oil viscosity of the lubricant is typically lowered.
  • this is the reason why the DEXRON-VI specification from General Motors, for example, requires that the kinematic viscosity of fresh oil at 100° C. be not more than 6.4 mm 2 /s.
  • Prolonged mechanical stress typically leads to a reduction in the viscosity of the lubricant, since the mechanical stress, for example, reduces the size of polymeric constituents of the lubricant. This effect is also referred to as permanent shear loss. Since permanent shear loss leads to lasting reduction in lubricant film thickness, lubricants are required to not go below a particular minimum viscosity even after a long period of stress.
  • a recognized method for characterizing the permanent shear loss of a lubricant is the tapered roller bearing test to CEC-L-45-A-99.
  • the DEXRON-VI specification specifies a kinematic minimum viscosity at 100° C. of 5.5 mm 2 /s after a 20 h tapered roller bearing test.
  • the viscosity index (VI) describes the temperature dependence of the viscosity of a lubricant.
  • Lubricants having a low viscosity index exhibit a greater temperature dependence of the change in viscosity than those having a high viscosity index.
  • An increase in the viscosity index at constant viscosity at a particular temperature means that the viscosity is less at lower temperatures than for a comparable lubricant with a lower viscosity index.
  • Reduced viscosity at lower temperatures reduces churning losses and hence fuel consumption.
  • this advantage is restricted to the warm-up phase of a motor vehicle.
  • Lubricant film thickness is not determined exclusively by the viscosity of the lubricant, but is a function of viscosity and the relative sliding or rolling speed of the machine parts moving relative to one another. At the same viscosity, the lubricant film thickness rises with speed. At high speed, a relatively low viscosity of lubricant would accordingly be sufficient to assure an adequate lubricant film thickness. A low viscosity would be advantageous at this operating point, since the reduced fluid friction would result in less energy being consumed, which leads to a fuel saving.
  • shear loss may be permanent, as occurs, for example, in the event of lasting mechanical stress on lubricants. However, shear loss may also be temporary, such that the original viscosity is re-established in the event that the speed is reduced and the associated shear forces are lower. Temporary shear loss as a result of shear forces is also referred to as shear dilution.
  • An ideal lubricant would accordingly have maximum shear dilution in order to reduce fuel consumption at high sliding or rolling speed. At the same time, an ideal lubricant would have only a low permanent shear loss in order to maximize the lifetime of the machine parts.
  • Lubricant properties are typically improved by addition of additives to lubricant oils.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,565,130 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,597,871 disclose using comb polymers based, for example, on polybutadiene as viscosity index improvers. However, no satisfactory improvement in fuel consumption is disclosed therein.
  • WO 2007/003238 A1 describes oil-soluble comb polymers based on polyolefin-based macromonomers, especially polybutadiene-based methacrylic esters, and C1 to C10 alkyl methacrylates.
  • the comb polymers can be used as an additive for lubricant oils, in order to improve the viscosity index and shear stability.
  • no improvement in coefficient of traction and fuel consumption is disclosed.
  • WO 2009/007147 A1 discloses the use of comb polymers based on polyolefin-based macromonomers, especially polybutadiene-based methacrylic esters, and C1 to C10 alkyl methacrylates for improving the fuel consumption of motor vehicles.
  • the comb polymers are disclosed only as additives for motor oil.
  • WO 2010/102903 A1 discloses the use of comb polymers as antifatigue additives for transmission, motor and hydraulic oils. However, no reduction in fuel consumption is described.
  • WO 2012/025901 A1 discloses the use of comb polymers in lubricants in combination with particular friction modifiers. There is no disclosure of combinations of comb polymers and base oils specifically matched to the demands of transmission oils.
  • the aim of the present invention to provide a transmission oil formulation having a kinematic minimum viscosity at 100° C. of 5.5 mm 2 /s to ASTM D445 after a 20 h tapered roller bearing test CEC-L-45-A-99, and simultaneously high shear dilution.
  • the kinematic fresh oil viscosity at 100° C. should be not more than 6.4 mm 2 /s to ASTM D445 and preferably about 6.0 mm 2 /s.
  • the transmission oil formulation should also have a high viscosity index, preferably a viscosity index of greater than 180 to ASTM D2270, more preferably greater than 190.
  • the transmission oil formulation should have a low coefficient of traction.
  • the coefficient of traction is the force required to move a load, divided by the load.
  • the numerical value of the coefficient expresses how easy it is to shear a lubricant film.
  • Transmission oils ideally have a low coefficient of traction because, when the coefficient of traction is low, less energy is consumed because of lubricant shearing.
  • the specified proportions by weight of components (A) to (D) are based on the total weight of the monomer composition.
  • the proportions of components (A) to (D) add up to 100% by weight.
  • the sum total of the proportions by weight of monomers (B1) to (B3) is at least 15% by weight, most preferably 15% to 45% by weight.
  • the transmission oil formulation of the invention meets the prerequisite mentioned in terms of fresh oil viscosity, minimum viscosity by the tapered roller bearing test and viscosity index.
  • the transmission oil formulation of the invention has an advantageous temporary shear loss as a result of shear forces.
  • the use of the transmission oil formulation of the invention additionally leads to a decrease in fuel consumption in a motor vehicle rolling test bed test, this effect being observed not just during the cold start phase but also after the transmission oil formulation has heated up.
  • the copolymer for use in accordance with the invention as component (ii) of the transmission oil formulation can be obtained via free-radical polymerization of the monomers mentioned. It is preferable here for the double bonds of the ethylenically unsaturated groups and vinyl groups of the monomers mentioned to be opened with formation of covalent bonds between the monomers.
  • the copolymer that forms is a comb polymer.
  • a comb polymer in the context of this invention comprises a first polymer, which is also referred to as backbone or main chain, and a multitude of further polymers which are referred to as side chains and are bonded covalently to the backbone.
  • the backbone of the comb polymer is formed by the interlinked unsaturated groups of the monomers mentioned.
  • the ester groups of the (meth)acrylic esters, the phenyl radicals of the styrene monomers and the substituents of the further free-radically polymerizable comonomers form the side chains of the comb polymer.
  • the styrene monomers having 8 to 17 carbon atoms for use in accordance with the invention are styrene and substituted styrene.
  • styrene monomers having 8 to 17 carbon atoms are styrene, substituted styrenes having an alkyl substituent in the side chain, for example ⁇ -methylstyrene and ⁇ -ethylstyrene, substituted styrenes having an alkyl substituent on the ring, such as vinyltoluene and p-methylstyrene, halogenated styrenes, for example monochlorostyrenes, dichlorostyrenes, tribromostyrenes and tetrabromostyrenes. Particular preference is given to unsubstituted styrene.
  • the monomer composition comprises 10%-45% by weight of styrene monomers having 8 to 17 carbon atoms.
  • (meth)acrylic acid refers to acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and mixtures of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid.
  • (meth)acrylate refers to esters of acrylic acid, esters of methacrylic acid or mixtures of esters of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid.
  • the monomer composition comprises, as monomer (B1), 0.2% to 45% by weight of methyl methacrylate.
  • the monomer composition comprises, as monomer (B2), 0.2% to 45% by weight of butyl methacrylate and/or butyl acrylate, more preferably n-butyl methacrylate and/or n-butyl acrylate.
  • the C5 to C30 alkyl(meth)acrylates for use in accordance with the invention are esters of (meth)acrylic acid and alcohols having 5 to 30 carbon atoms.
  • the term “C5 to C30 alkyl(meth)acrylates” encompasses individual (meth)acrylic esters with an alcohol of a particular length, and likewise mixtures of (meth)acrylic esters with alcohols of different lengths.
  • the suitable C5 to C30 alkyl(meth)acrylates include, for example, pentyl(meth)acrylate, hexyl(meth)acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl(meth)acrylate, heptyl(meth)acrylate, 2-tert-butylheptyl(meth)acrylate, octyl(meth)acrylate, 3-isopropylheptyl(meth)acrylate, nonyl(meth)acrylate, decyl(meth)acrylate, undecyl(meth)acrylate, 5-methylundecyl(meth)acrylate, dodecyl(meth)acrylate, 2-methyldodecyl(meth)acrylate, tridecyl(meth)acrylate, 5-methyltridecyl(meth)acrylate, tetradecyl(meth)acrylate, pentadecyl(meth)acrylate, hexadecy
  • Particularly preferred C5 to C30 alkyl(meth)acrylates are methacrylic esters of a linear C12 to C14 alcohol mixture (C12 to C14 alkyl methacrylate).
  • the hydroxylated hydrogenated polybutadiene for use in accordance with the invention has a number-average molar mass M n of 4000 to 6000 g/mol, preferably 4000 to 5000 g/mol. Because of their high molar mass, the hydroxylated hydrogenated polybutadienes can also be referred to as macroalcohols in the context of this invention.
  • the number-average molar mass M n is determined by size exclusion chromatography using commercially available polybutadiene standards. The determination is effected to DIN 55672-1 by gel permeation chromatography with THF as eluent.
  • the hydroxylated hydrogenated polybutadiene has a hydrogenation level of at least 99%.

  • Table 1 shows an overview of the monomer compositions for the copolymer syntheses.
  • Copolymers 1, 2, 4 and 5 are copolymers of the invention.
  • f-branch The calculations of the molar branching level (“f-branch”) are based on a macromonomer conversion of 94%, meaning that all the copolymers still contain residual macromonomer and are thus a polymer mixture of copolymer and hydroxypropyl-terminated hydrogenated polybutadiene. These polymers are not separated.
  • the transmission oil formulations formulated from these copolymer additives thus still contain a polymer mixture.
  • Transmission oil formulations E1 to E5 are formulations of the invention.
  • Formulation CE6 is a comparative formulation known from the prior art.
  • the base oil used was Nexbase 3030 (available from Neste Oil N.V., Belgium).
  • Nexbase 3030 is an API group III base oil having a proportion of aromatic carbon atoms (% CA) below the detection limit of the IR method ( ⁇ 0.1%).
  • the pour point depressant used is a copolymer of C12 to C18 methacrylates from Evonik Oil Additives.
  • the DI package is a DEXRON VI-compatible DI package without viscosity improver.
  • the base oil viscosity of the formulations E1 to E5 and CE6 was 3.8 mm 2 /s at 100° C.
  • Comparative oil formulation CE1 CE2 CE3 CE4 CE5 Copolymer 6 24.6 Copolymer 7 29.5 Copolymer 8 15.0 Copolymer 9 15.0 Copolymer 10 15.0 DI package 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.6 150N 74.8 69.9 84.4 84.4 84.4 formulation oil
  • the viscometric evaluation of the transmission oil formulations was made by determining the kinematic viscosity at 40° C. (KV40) and 100° C. (KV100) to ASTM D445, the viscosity index (VI) to ASTM D2270 and the dynamic viscosity at high temperature and high shear at 80° C. (HTHS 80° C.) and 100° C. (HTHS 100° C.) to ASTM 4683.
  • the dynamic viscosity (DV) at 100° C. under low shear was calculated from the product of density and kinematic viscosity at 100° C. (KV100).
  • shear stability was determined on the basis of the kinematic viscosity at 100° C. after a 20-hour tapered roller bearing test CEC-L-45-A-99 (KV100 after TRB20h).
  • PSSI (KV100 before shear ⁇ KV100 after shear )/(KV100 before shear ⁇ base oil viscosity)*100
  • the PSSI indicates the percentage loss of viscosity which has been introduced into the formulation via the polymer only.
  • the PSSI is accordingly a characteristic feature of a polymer and is therefore very substantially independent of the amount added or of other formulation components (oil and other additives). This becomes clear from the comparison of the PSSI values of formulations CE1 and CE6, which contain the same polymer but different base oils and additives (see table 4 and table 5).
  • TSSI temporary shear stability index
  • TSSI (DV100 low shear ⁇ DV100 high shear )/(DV100 low shear ⁇ DV base oil ) ⁇ 100
  • the DV100 of the base oil of the transmission oil formulations was 2.45 mPas.
  • a transmission oil formulation must have a KV100 of not more than 6.4 mm 2 /s and a KV100 after shear of at least 5.5 mm 2 /s. It can be inferred from these requirements and a base oil viscosity of 3.8 mm 2 /s (Nexbase 3030) that a suitable transmission oil formulation must have a PSSI of not more than 34.
  • comparative formulation CE6 has a much lower viscosity index than the inventive formulations E1 to E5.
  • comparative formulation CE6 has a lower temporary shear loss than the formulations of the invention. This is shown by the higher TSSI values of formulations E1 to E6.
  • the temporary shear loss can additionally be calculated using the difference between the viscosity at 100° C. and high shear (HTHS 100° C.) and the dynamic viscosity at 100° C. and low shear. This difference is much higher for formulations E1 to E4 than for formulation CE6.
  • Traction measurements were conducted on a mini-traction machine (MTM 2). The measurement parameters and test specimens which follow were used for the measurements. For each measurement, a new set of test specimens was utilized.
  • the transmission oil formulations of the invention have a much lower coefficient of traction than the comparative formulation CE6.
  • This demonstrates a synergistic effect with respect to the coefficient of traction, which is achieved by the inventive combination of a copolymer of the invention with a base oil having a low aromatics content, but not by the combination of a comparative copolymer with a base oil having a low aromatics content.
  • This synergistic effect is an important prerequisite for formulation of fuel-saving transmission oils.
  • Fuel consumption measurements were conducted on a certified rolling test bed (ISP Salzbergen).
  • the motor vehicle used for this purpose was a Hyundai ix35 (gasoline engine, max. power 120 kW at 6200 rpm; maximum torque 194 Nm at 4600 rpm) with a six-speed step-change automatic transmission system.
  • the motor vehicle was conditioned appropriately before each test.
  • a reference oil was run (factory-fill oil), in order to rule out unwanted drift of the measurement results.
  • Each test oil (including the reference oil) was analyzed four times on successive days. Reported results are the mean value from four individual measurements in each case.
