Abstract

According to the present invention as such, the functional fluid composition comprising a glycol as a base material and a monoamine-based noise reducer represented by chemical formula 1 has an excellent noise reducing effect. In addition, the functional fluid composition of the present invention has an excellent metal corrosion inhibiting effect even, by using a monoamine-based compound as a noise reducer, when a metal corrosion inhibitor composed of a triazole-based compound without including an amine-based compound is used as a metal corrosion inhibitor.

Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The present invention relates to a functional fluid composition and, more specifically, to a functional fluid composition having a glycol as a base material and a monoamine-based noise reducer.
    • BACKGROUND ART
  • The present invention relates to a functional fluid composition useful as a brake fluid. As typical automotive brake fluids, type 3 (DOT-3) brake fluid employing only a glycol ether compound as a solvent and type 4 (DOT-4) brake fluid having about 30-60 wt % of a boron ester compound further added to the type 3 (DOT-3) brake fluid are mainly used. The DOT-3 type brake fluid employs only a glycol ether compound, which is a low-molecular weight material, and thus the DOT-3 type brake fluid, when used for a long period of time, absorbs moisture in the air to lower the wet boiling point thereof, thereby causing a vapor lock phenomenon, so that there is a danger of causing a braking accident. Moreover, the DOT-3 type brake fluid has weak metal corrosion inhibiting ability over a long period of time. In addition, the DOT-4 type brake fluid employs a boron ester compound to increase the equilibrium reflux boiling point and the wet boiling point thereof, and thus the DOT-4 type brake fluid has a higher degree of safety compared with the DOT-3 type brake fluid. However, the DOT-4 type brake fluid has problems in that a boron ester-based compound is brought into contact with moisture to cause hydrolysis, so that boric acid is precipitated, causing the deterioration in physical properties of the brake fluid and the generation of foreign materials.
  • Therefore, the DOT-4 type brake fluid is used while an amine or silane-based type stabilizer is added to prevent the precipitation of boric acid (Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2004-0023917). However, the addition of such a stabilizer causes a significant increase in noise when a master cylinder in the brake apparatus is operated.
  • In addition, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2013-227380 discloses that a brake fluid containing a fluoride compound has a stick slip preventing effect through the improvement of lubricability. However, a fluoride compound having a lipophilic group is hard to mix with a glycol ether solvent having hydrophilicity.
    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Problem
  • The present inventors endeavored to develop a functional fluid composition, and as a result, the present inventors experimentally confirmed that a functional fluid composition containing a monoamine-based noise reducer represented by chemical formula 1 below has an excellent metal corrosion inhibiting effect as well as an excellent noise reducing effect, and thus the present inventors completed the present invention.
  • Therefore, an aspect of the present invention is to provide a functional fluid composition comprising a glycol as a base material, the composition comprising a monoamine-based noise reducer represented by chemical formula 1 below:
  • Figure US20190161700A1-20190530-C00001

  • For reference, the method for evaluating metal corrosion according to the test method of paragraph 5.5 of KS M 2141 is as follows.
  • (1) Corrosion Test Method
  • Metal test pieces (tinned iron, steel, aluminum, cast iron, brass, copper) polished with 320A silicon carbide to avoid surface impressions were prepared with a surface area of 25.5 cm2. The respective metal pieces were weighed to 0.1 mg, and then were brought into electric contact with each other through bolt assembling.
  • The assembled metal pieces and a standard SBR cup were placed in a 475 ml-volume glass bottle, and a brake fluid mixed with 5 vol % of distilled water was allowed to fill 400 ml. The glass bottle was tightly closed with a tin-plated iron lid having a ventilation hole (0.8±0.1) mm in diameter, and then placed in an oven at 100±2° C. for 120±2 hours.
  • The bottle was cooled at room temperature for 60-90 minutes, and then the metal pieces were immediately taken out, washed water, and then wiped with a cloth wetted with 95% ethanol one by one. The metal pieces were inspected for corrosion or impression marks.
  • Meanwhile, the metal test pieces and the brake fluid test cup used in the corrosion test are shown in tables 4 and 5 below.

  • (2) Corrosion Evaluation Method
  • When the brake fluid was tested according to the corrosion test method, the weights of the test pieces were measured by the unit of 0.1 mg, and the variation (mg/cm2) was calculated according to the equation 4.
  • The weight change should not exhibit the corrosion exceeding the reference values shown in Table 6 below. The outer contact surface of the metal piece should not be impressed or roughened enough to be visible to the naked eye. However, the metal piece was allowed to be stained or decolorized.
  • The brake fluid/water mixture should not be hardened at (23±5°) C. at the end of the test, and the formed crystalline precipitates should not stick to the wall of the glass bottle or the surface of the metal piece. The mixture should not contain 0.1 vol % or more of precipitate, and the pH of the mixture should be equal to or higher than 7.0 and equal to or lower than 11.5.
  • Variation = weight before test - weight after test surface area [ Equation 4 ]
