Definitions
- the present invention relates to lubricant compositions and to the use thereof as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil for industry in general and as gear oil and slide bearing oil in the marine sector and in inland waterways, and in machines and machine elements on land that may come into contact with water and/or aqueous media.
- radial shaft sealing rings that are typically manufactured from elastomers such as FKM (fluoro rubber), NBR (nitrile-butadiene rubber), HNBR (hydrogenated nitrile-butadiene rubber), ACM/AEM (acrylate elastomers/ethylene acrylic elastomers) and polyurethanes are used.
- the importance of the seal compatibility of the lubricant is illustrated by the frequency of the causes of gear, slide bearing and roller bearing failures.
- the proportion of gear, slide bearing and roller bearing failures caused by the incompatibility of lubricant and seal material is significantly higher than a proportion of gear, slide bearing and roller bearing failures caused by wear, for example. Therefore, the selection of the base oil component(s) for the lubricant and carefully matched selection of additives is essential in order to prevent damage to seal materials and nevertheless to achieve very good tribological properties.
- a further problem is that many lubricants that are used in industry in general are unsuitable for occasional unintentional contact with foodstuffs, for example in the case of food applications; in other words, they do not have H1 certification under the NSF Code of Federal Regulations ⁇ 21 CFR 178.3570.
- these lubricant compositions also have minimal toxicity and are permissible under NSF/H1 certification for occasional unintentional contact with foodstuffs, such that they are suitable for applications in the food processing industry.
- biocompatible lubricants i.e. those having good biodegradability and minimal aquatoxicity, that have high compatibility with respect to seal materials, especially elastomer materials, especially for use as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil in the marine sector and in inland waterways.
- seal materials especially elastomer materials, especially for use as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil in the marine sector and in inland waterways.
- This also includes use in machines and machine elements on land that may come into contact with water and/or aqueous media.
- a lubricant composition comprising a base oil; at least one additive; and 0.001-10% by weight, based on the total weight of the lubricant composition, of an organic compound comprising both a polar moiety and a nonpolar moiety, as lubricity improver, wherein the organic compound has a relative permittivity ⁇ r in the range from 1.5 to 10, and a quotient ⁇ S 1 / ⁇ S 2 for the organic compound is in the range from 1 to 25, wherein ⁇ S 1 denotes the sum total of the area(s) of the IR absorption band(s) in the wavenumber range of 3100-2750 cm ⁇ 1 in an ATR spectrum of the organic compound, and ⁇ S 2 denotes the sum total of the area(s) of the IR absorption band(s) in the wavenumber range of 1800-1650 cm ⁇ 1 in an ATR spectrum of the organic compound.
- FIG. 1 is a line graph showing the measurement of the Stribeck curves for a base formulation without lubricity improver and a lubricant of the invention with lubricity improver.
- FIG. 2 is a bar graph showing the transition speed of all lubricants tested.
- FIGS. 3 A, 3 B, 3 C and 3 D are line graphs showing a plot of coefficient of friction over time.
- FIGS. 4 A and 4 B are bar graphs showing elastomer wear.
- FIG. 5 A is a bar graph showing weight loss.
- FIG. 5 B is a bar graph showing change in wear scar width.
- minimally toxic, i.e. NSF/H1-certified lubricants which are suitable for use as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil for industry in general, including applications in the food processing industry, and which likewise show the aforementioned advantageous properties with regard to seal compatibility and sliding characteristics.
- biocompatible lubricants i.e. those having good biodegradability and minimal aquatoxicity, which bring about improved compatibility with respect to seal materials, especially elastomers, and at the same time bring about an improvement in sliding or lubrication characteristics, and which are suitable for use as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil in the marine sector and in inland waterways, and in machines and machine elements on land that may come into contact with water and/or aqueous media.
- a lubricant composition comprising, as constituents:
- the organic compound has a relative permittivity ⁇ r in the range from 1.5 to 10, and wherein a quotient ⁇ S 1 / ⁇ S 2 for the organic compound is in the range from 1 to 25,
- ⁇ S 1 denotes the sum total of the area(s) of the IR absorption band(s) in the wavenumber range of 3100-2750 cm ⁇ 1 in an ATR spectrum of the organic compound
- ⁇ S 2 denotes the sum total of the area(s) of the IR absorption band(s) in the wavenumber range of 1800-1650 cm ⁇ 1 in an ATR spectrum of the organic compound.

- FIG. 1 shows the measurement of the Stribeck curves for a base formulation without lubricity improver (comparative example 1) and a lubricant of the invention with lubricity improver (example 8). It is apparent that, in the presence of lubricity improver, there is a distinct movement in the transition speed to a lower speed (A to B).
- FIG. 2 shows the transition speed of all lubricants tested.
- all lubricants comprising lubricity improver that were tested have a distinctly lower transition speed than a base formulation (comparative example 1) and a lubricant composition comprising a noninventive lubricity improver (comparative example 5), which indicates that the lubricants of the invention comprising lubricity improver of the invention form the lubricant film much earlier than those of the comparative examples.
- the improved lubrication properties of the lubricants of the invention comprising lubricity improver show that they result in an improved load capacity, for example in slide bearings and similar components.

([1] Sommer, M., Haas, W. “A new approach on grease tribology in sealing technology: Influence of the thickener particles”, Tribology International (2016), 103, 574-583).
- the test material used is FKM elastomer material.
- the counterpart is a steel counterpart.
- the lubricant composition to be analyzed is examined in a ring-on-disk tribometer as described in [1] at a constant speed of 1.5 m/s and a temperature of 60° C. at a linear load of 0.90 N/mm in order to provoke collapse of the lubricant film and solid-state contact in the case of poor lubricant film formation.
- the lubricant compositions of the invention comprising lubricity improver (example 2: GV 3; example 5: GV 5; example 11, GV 2; example 14; GV 1) show a much calmer and slower progression of the coefficient of friction p over time, which means a stable lubricant film structure and suggests hydrodynamic lubrication.
- lubricity improver comparative example 3
- example 5 GV 5; example 11, GV 2; example 14; GV 1
- the base formulation without lubricity improver shows an unstable lubricant film structure, which is manifested in significant variation and a higher level of the coefficient of friction. This suggests at least local solid-state contact and a marked stick-slip effect.
- addition of the lubricity improver reduces wear on the elastomer body by 57% (example 2: GV 3), 50% (example 14, GV 1), 67% (example 11, GV 2) or 63% (example 5, GV 5), and reduces wear on the steel counterpart by 80% (example 2: GV 3), 67% (example 14: GV 1), 67% (example 11: GV 2) or 73% (example 5: GV 5), each by comparison with the base formulation without lubricity improver (comparative example 3).
- Micropitting refers to damage at gear contacts.
- the testbed uses a triple configuration in which a central roll is in contact with three disks, which leads to three roll contact cycles per roll rotation.
- the two lower disks are partially immersed in oil and transport it into the contact during the test, which simulates splash lubrication.
- the roll and the disks are driven by separate motors, which permits the simulation of different slide-roll ratios (SRR).
- SRR slide-roll ratios
- the tests are conducted at a Hertzian contact pressure of 1.7 GPa, an SRR of 20% to 30%, an oil temperature of 90° C. and 10 million cycles.
- the coefficient of friction and vibration were recorded during the test with a torque gauge or an acceleration gauge.
- the test roll is cleaned using a solvent in order to remove residual oil, and the weight of the roll is determined, and images of the wear scar are taken with an optical microscope.
- the capacity of a lubricant composition with regard to its resistance to micropitting is assessed by the loss of weight (comparison of weight before and after measurement) of the roll (see FIG. 5 A ) and by the change in wear scar width (see FIG. 5 B ).
- the recitation of “at least one of A, B and C” should be interpreted as one or more of a group of elements consisting of A, B and C, and should not be interpreted as requiring at least one of each of the listed elements A, B and C, regardless of whether A, B and C are related as categories or otherwise.

- This application is a U.S. National Phase application under 35 U.S.C. § 371 of International Application No. PCT/EP2021/060351, filed on Apr. 21, 2021, and claims benefit to German Patent Application No. DE 10 2020 111 392.7, filed on Apr. 27, 2020. The International Application was published in German on Nov. 4, 2021 as WO 2021/219455 under PCT Article 21(2).
- The present invention relates to lubricant compositions and to the use thereof as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil for industry in general and as gear oil and slide bearing oil in the marine sector and in inland waterways, and in machines and machine elements on land that may come into contact with water and/or aqueous media.
- The challenge when lubricants or lubricant compositions are employed as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil for industry in general is to assure both very good tribological properties in the interdigitation and very good compatibility of the lubricant with respect to seal materials. In transmissions, slide bearings and roller bearings, in general, radial shaft sealing rings that are typically manufactured from elastomers such as FKM (fluoro rubber), NBR (nitrile-butadiene rubber), HNBR (hydrogenated nitrile-butadiene rubber), ACM/AEM (acrylate elastomers/ethylene acrylic elastomers) and polyurethanes are used. The importance of the seal compatibility of the lubricant is illustrated by the frequency of the causes of gear, slide bearing and roller bearing failures. The proportion of gear, slide bearing and roller bearing failures caused by the incompatibility of lubricant and seal material is significantly higher than a proportion of gear, slide bearing and roller bearing failures caused by wear, for example. Therefore, the selection of the base oil component(s) for the lubricant and carefully matched selection of additives is essential in order to prevent damage to seal materials and nevertheless to achieve very good tribological properties. A further problem is that many lubricants that are used in industry in general are unsuitable for occasional unintentional contact with foodstuffs, for example in the case of food applications; in other words, they do not have H1 certification under the NSF Code of Federal Regulations § 21 CFR 178.3570.
- There is therefore a need for novel lubricants or lubricant compositions for use as gear oil, roller bearing oil or slide bearing oil for industry in general that show high compatibility with respect to seal materials, especially elastomer materials, and simultaneously have good tribological properties, such that they bring about an improvement in sliding characteristics, a reduction in the stick-slip effect, especially in the case of friction contact at high load and low speed, and a positive influence on micropitting load-carrying capacity.
- Moreover, it would be desirable in practice if these lubricant compositions also have minimal toxicity and are permissible under NSF/H1 certification for occasional unintentional contact with foodstuffs, such that they are suitable for applications in the food processing industry.
- In applications of lubricants or lubricant compositions in the marine sector and in inland waterways, i.e. applications in which the lubricants or lubricant compositions are typically used below the waterline in oil-to-water interfaces, there is the risk that the marine or water body environment is contaminated by escape of lubricant, caused by leaks for example. Even though attempts are made to seal the water side as well as possible in these applications, losses of lubricant are an everyday occurrence. There is therefore an enormous increase in demand for environmentally benign lubricants for reduction of pollution of the seas and inland waterways by chemicals. However, there is also an increase in demand for environmentally benign lubricants on land since the pollution of soils by chemicals is also becoming ever more important. Components that find use on land can come into contact with water, for example, as a result of rain. Moreover, leaks are not impossible here either, and so it can be contamination of the environment and of the soil. There is a high demand for environmentally benign lubricants on land particularly in the mining industry, in wind turbines and in agricultural machinery.
- In the last few years, protection of the environment has become ever more significant, especially also the protection of the seas. For lubricants that are used below the waterline in oil-to-water interfaces, for example, the Vessel General Permit (VGP) from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, requires the use of “Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EALs)”, which must meet high demands with regard to biodegradability and aquatoxicity. EALs in common use are therefore produced on the basis of natural and synthetic esters, rather than on the basis of mineral oil as is conventional. By comparison with mineral-based lubricants, however, when EALs are used, on account of their comparatively low stability, there is frequently damage to seal materials and severe loss of performance with regard to sliding or lubrication characteristics.
- There is therefore also a need for biocompatible lubricants, i.e. those having good biodegradability and minimal aquatoxicity, that have high compatibility with respect to seal materials, especially elastomer materials, especially for use as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil in the marine sector and in inland waterways. This also includes use in machines and machine elements on land that may come into contact with water and/or aqueous media.
- By comparison with mineral oil-based lubricants, moreover, when EALs are used, there is an increased frequency of problems in stem tube lubrication. There are many indications that, when EALs are used, there is inadequate lubrication of the bearing at low speeds and high load. It is known that states of inadequate lubrication can also occur at further lubrication sites. These include, for example, all slide bearings, gears, linear guides, pneumatic components, instruments, roller bearings, chains, cables, springs and propellers. In this connection, there is also a need for novel biocompatible lubricants for use as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil in the marine sector and in inland waterways, and in machines and machine elements on land that may come into contact with water and/or aqueous media, which additionally bring about an improvement in sliding characteristics.
- In an aspect, disclosed is a lubricant composition comprising a base oil; at least one additive; and 0.001-10% by weight, based on the total weight of the lubricant composition, of an organic compound comprising both a polar moiety and a nonpolar moiety, as lubricity improver, wherein the organic compound has a relative permittivity εr in the range from 1.5 to 10, and a quotient ∫S1/∫S2 for the organic compound is in the range from 1 to 25, wherein ∫S1 denotes the sum total of the area(s) of the IR absorption band(s) in the wavenumber range of 3100-2750 cm−1 in an ATR spectrum of the organic compound, and ∫S2 denotes the sum total of the area(s) of the IR absorption band(s) in the wavenumber range of 1800-1650 cm−1 in an ATR spectrum of the organic compound.
- The present invention will be described in even greater detail below based on the exemplary figures. The invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments. Other features and advantages of various embodiments of the present invention will become apparent by reading the following detailed description with reference to the attached drawings which illustrate the following:
-
FIG. 1 is a line graph showing the measurement of the Stribeck curves for a base formulation without lubricity improver and a lubricant of the invention with lubricity improver. -
FIG. 2 is a bar graph showing the transition speed of all lubricants tested. -
FIGS. 3A, 3B, 3C and 3D are line graphs showing a plot of coefficient of friction over time. -
FIGS. 4A and 4B are bar graphs showing elastomer wear. -
FIG. 5A is a bar graph showing weight loss. -
FIG. 5B is a bar graph showing change in wear scar width. - It was therefore an object of the present invention to provide lubricants or lubricant compositions that show improved compatibility with respect to seal materials, especially elastomers, and have excellent tribological properties, such that they bring about improved sliding characteristics, a reduction in the stick-slip effect and a positive influence on micropitting load-carrying capacity, and are suitable for use as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil for industry in general.
- It was a further object of the present invention to provide minimally toxic, i.e. NSF/H1-certified lubricants, which are suitable for use as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil for industry in general, including applications in the food processing industry, and which likewise show the aforementioned advantageous properties with regard to seal compatibility and sliding characteristics.
- It was additionally an object of the present invention to provide biocompatible lubricants, i.e. those having good biodegradability and minimal aquatoxicity, which bring about improved compatibility with respect to seal materials, especially elastomers, and at the same time bring about an improvement in sliding or lubrication characteristics, and which are suitable for use as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil in the marine sector and in inland waterways, and in machines and machine elements on land that may come into contact with water and/or aqueous media.
- One or more of the aforementioned objects are achieved by a lubricant composition comprising, as constituents:
- A) a base oil;
- B) at least one additive; and
- C) 0.001-10% by weight, based on the total weight of the lubricant composition, of an organic compound comprising both a polar moiety and a nonpolar moiety, as lubricity improver,
- wherein the organic compound has a relative permittivity εr in the range from 1.5 to 10, and wherein a quotient ∫S1/∫S2 for the organic compound is in the range from 1 to 25,
- “∫S1” denotes the sum total of the area(s) of the IR absorption band(s) in the wavenumber range of 3100-2750 cm−1 in an ATR spectrum of the organic compound, and
- “∫S2” denotes the sum total of the area(s) of the IR absorption band(s) in the wavenumber range of 1800-1650 cm−1 in an ATR spectrum of the organic compound.
- It has been found that, surprisingly, the presence of an organic compound in addition to the further constituents/components present in the lubricant composition, where the organic compound comprises both a polar moiety and a nonpolar moiety and meets the requirements both on relative permittivity εr (in the range from 1.5 to 10) and on the quotient ∫S1/∫S2 (in the range from 1 to 25), brings about a significant improvement in sliding characteristics between two friction partners, for example metal/metal or metal/elastomer (e.g. FKM or NBR). The organic compound is therefore referred to herein as “lubrication improver”.
- In the context of the invention, the terms “lubricant composition”, “lubricant” and “formulation” are used synonymously.
- In the context of the present invention, the term “organic compound” includes both single compounds (i.e. molecules) and mixtures of single compounds, and also oligomers and polymers including homopolymers, copolymers and polymer blends, and mixtures thereof.
- An oligomer in the context of the invention is understood to mean a molecule or chemical compound formed from a multitude of, especially two to ten, structurally identical or similar organic units (monomers) and especially having a weight-average molar mass (MW) up to about 1000. A polymer (homopolymer) in the context of the invention is accordingly understood to mean a molecule or chemical compound formed from a high number, especially more than ten, structurally identical or similar organic units (monomers) and especially having a weight-average molar mass (Mw) of about 1000 or more. A copolymer is understood to mean polymers composed of two or more different types of monomer unit.
- According to the invention, the organic compound C) contains both a polar moiety and a nonpolar moiety, meaning that it is formed from one or more identical or different polar molecular moieties and one or more identical or different nonpolar molecular moieties, which results in a particular relative polarity. Polar molecular moieties in the context of the invention may be any polar functional groups known to the person skilled in the art. In particular, the polar molecular moieties are selected from one or more from a carbonyl group, ester group (R—CO—O—R), keto group (R—CO—R), aldehyde group (R—CHO), amide group (R—CO-A, A=NH2, NHR, or NR2), imide group (R—CO—NR—CO—R), carboxylic anhydride group (R—CO—O—CO—R), urea group (R2N—CO—NR2), urethane group (R—NH—CO—O—R), carboxylate group (R—COO—) and a carboxyl group (R—COOH), where R in each case independently represents any organic, aliphatic or aromatic radical. Nonpolar molecular moieties in the context of the invention may be any nonpolar groups known to the person skilled in the art, and they are especially selected from one or more from linear or branched or cyclic alkyl groups or aromatic groups, for example linear or branched alkylbenzene groups.
- According to the invention, the organic compound C) has a relative permittivity εr in the range from 1.5 to 10, preferably from 1.7 to 8, especially preferably from 2 to 7, and most preferably from 2.3 to 5.
- The relative permittivity εr of a medium, also called permittivity or dielectric constant, is the dimensionless ratio of its permittivity ε to the permittivity ε0 of the vacuum: εr=ε/ε0. Permittivity, also called dielectric conductivity, refers to a material property of electrically insulating polar or nonpolar substances, called dielectrics, and indicates the permeability of a material or substance to electrical fields. Relative permittivity is a measure of the field-attenuating effects of the dielectric polarization of the material or substance.
- The organic compound C) present in accordance with the invention in the lubricant composition is additionally characterized in that it has a quotient ∫S1/∫S2 in the range from 1 to 25, preferably from 1.3 to 22, especially preferably 1.7 to 17, and most preferably from 2 to 14.
- In this context, “∫S1” denotes the sum total of the area(s) of the IR absorption band(s) in the wavenumber range of 3100-2750 cm−1 in an ATR spectrum of the organic compound, and “∫S2” denotes the sum total of the area(s) of the IR absorption band(s) in the wavenumber range of 1800-1650 cm−1 in an ATR spectrum of the organic compound.
- It is known to the person skilled in the art that ATR infrared spectroscopy is an analytical technique in infrared spectroscopy which is suitable for solid and liquid samples and is now the dominant IR methodology in many fields. By contrast with the conventional IR analysis method, in which the transmittance of a sample is measured, ATR infrared spectroscopy is based on the principle of total reflection (ATR, attenuated total reflection, see N. J. Harrick: Internal Reflection Spectroscopy. John Wiley & Sons Inc, 1967, ISBN 0-470-35250-7). This results in similar spectra to those in transmission spectroscopy. Although the IR absorption bands in ATR spectra are broader and more intense toward greater wavelengths (smaller wavenumber) than in the case of corresponding transmission spectra, it is known that the positions of the IR absorption bands in transmission and ATR spectra are identical. It is known to the person skilled in the art from databases of spectra and tables of vibration data of important groups of atoms (e.g. Helmut Günzler, Hans-Ulrich Gremlich: IR-Spektroskopie: Eine Einführung [IR Spectroscopy: An Introduction], 4th edition. Wiley-VCH, Weinheim 2003, p. 165-240) that, in a transmission or ATR spectrum, particularly the characteristic IR absorption band of the C—O stretch vibration (valency vibration) of the carbonyl group of carbonyl compounds lies in the wavenumber range of about 1800-1650 cm−1, and that, in a transmission or ATR spectrum, particularly the characteristic IR absorption band of the C—H stretch vibration (valence vibration) of a —C—Hx group (x=1, 2 or 3, number of bound hydrogen atoms) in aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons lies in the wavenumber range of about 3100-2750 cm−1.
- The quotient ∫S1/∫S2 thus expresses the absorption in the wavenumber range of 3100-2750 cm−1, caused predominantly by nonpolar molecular moieties of the organic compound, relative to the absorption in the wavenumber range of 1800-1650 cm−1, caused predominantly by polar molecular moieties of the organic compound. The quotient ∫S1/∫S2 can thus be interpreted as a measure of the polarity of the organic compound present in the lubricant composition that comprises both a polar moiety and a nonpolar moiety.
- The amount of the organic compound C) in the lubricant composition is preferably 0.001% by weight or more, more preferably 0.05% by weight or more, for example 0.1% by weight or more, and 10% by weight or less, more preferably 5% by weight or less, based on the total weight of the lubricant composition, in order to achieve optimal elastomer compatibility and lubricity.
- For example, in embodiments of the invention that are suitable for occasional unintentional contact with food, especially for use as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil for industry in general, including in the field of the food processing industry, it is particularly preferable when the amount of the organic compound C) is 0.001-2.5% by weight, and even more preferably 0.05-1% by weight, based on the total weight of the lubricant composition, in order to achieve optimal elastomer compatibility and lubricity.
- For example, in embodiments of the invention that are suitable particularly for use as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil in the marine sector and in inland waterways, and in machines and machine elements on land that may come into contact with water and/or aqueous media, it is particularly preferable when the amount of the organic compound C) is 0.1-10% by weight, even more preferably 0.1-5% by weight, and most preferably 0.1-3% by weight, based on the total weight of the lubricant composition, in order to achieve optimal elastomer compatibility and lubricity.
- By virtue of the addition of the organic compound that comprises both a polar moiety and a nonpolar moiety and meets the above-defined demands both on relative permittivity εr (in the range from 1.5 to 10) and on the quotient ∫S1/∫S2 (in the range from 1 to 25), in addition to the other components/constituents of the lubricant composition, such as base oil(s) or additive(s), it is surprisingly possible to achieve an improvement in sliding or lubrication characteristics, especially also in the case of low gear and bearing speeds and high load. Furthermore, the organic compound contributes to an improvement in the compatibility of the lubricant composition of the invention with respect to elastomer materials, such as FKM and NBR.
- In one embodiment of the invention, the organic compounds C) additionally have NSF/H1 certification, such that they are used in lubricants that are employed in the food processing industry as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil for occasional unintentional contact with food.
- In a further embodiment of the invention, the organic compound C) is an organic compound which is additionally biodegradable (for example according to OECD Test Guideline 301 A-F or OECD 306) and/or has low aquatoxicity (for example according to OECD Test Guideline 201, 202, 203 or 236). As a result, the organic compound is suitable for use in lubricants that are employed as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil in the marine sector and in inland waterways, and in machines and machine elements on land that may come into contact with water and/or aqueous media.

- The term “complex esters” in the context of the invention is especially understood to mean esters that have been prepared using, for example, dicarboxylic acids (i.e. dibasic carboxylic acids) as well as monocarboxylic acids (i.e. monobasic carboxylic acids) and polyols.
- In a particularly preferred embodiment of the lubricant composition of the invention, especially when the lubricant composition is used as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil for industry in general, the base oil is selected from polyalphaolefins (PAOs), metallocene polyalphaolefins (mPAOs), white oils, mineral oils, neopentyl glycol esters, pentaerythritol esters, trimethylolpropane esters and pentaerythritol and trimethylolpropane complex esters that are preferably as defined above, aliphatic carboxylic and dicarboxylic esters, triglyceride fatty acid (C8/C10) esters, alkylnaphthalenes, ethylene/α-olefin oligomers, and water-soluble, water-miscible and/or oil-soluble polyglycols, and mixtures of two or more of these.

These base oils are advantageous with regard to their biodegradability (i.e. biodegradable for example according to OECD Test Guideline 301 A-F or OECD 306), and can accordingly contribute to improved biodegradability of the lubricant composition, such that these are especially suitable for applications as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil in the marine sector and in inland waterways, and in machines and machine elements on land that may come into contact with water and/or aqueous media.
- The amount of the base oil or base oil mixture in the lubricant composition is generally determined by the amount of the further constituent/components present in the composition, meaning that the lubricant composition is made up to 100% by weight by the base oil. The total amount of the base oil or base oil mixture is preferably at least 20% by weight, 30% by weight, 40% by weight, 50% by weight or 60% by weight.

- The present invention therefore relates, in a further aspect, to a lubricant composition, especially for use as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil in the marine sector and in inland waterways, and in machines and machine elements on land that may come into contact with water and/or aqueous media, containing, as constituents:
- A) a base oil;

These base oils have particularly advantageous properties with regard to their biodegradability (i.e. biodegradable, for example, according to OECD Test Guideline 301 A-F or OECD 306) and can accordingly contribute to improved biodegradability of the lubricant composition.
- By virtue of a careful selection of additives optimized to the tribological system composed of elastomer material, lubricant and metal, it is possible to achieve a further improvement in the elastomer compatibility of the lubricant composition. Accordingly, it is preferable in this embodiment of the invention when the lubricant composition comprises an additive mixture comprising one or more antioxidants, nonferrous metal deactivators and anticorrosives, and optionally one or more defoamers and antiwear and/or high-pressure additives.

- In one embodiment, the lubricant composition of the invention is of excellent suitability for use as gear oils, roller bearing oils and slide bearing oil for industry in general, including as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil for occasional unintentional contact with foods.
- General fields of use that are included in use as gear oils, roller bearing oils and slide bearing oil for industry in general comprise the lubrication of gears, especially spur, bevel, planetary, worm, hypoid and cycloid gears, hydraulics, linear guides, pneumatic components, instruments, bearings, especially slide and roller bearings, chains, cables, springs, propellers and compressors, and especially also of machine components and in systems that come into occasional unintentional contact with foodstuffs, without being limited thereto.
- Chains consist of identical members joined to one another. They serve to transmit force and are used as drive chains, for example in motor vehicles, as control chains in automobile engines, as load chains in lock gates, or as transport chains in conveyor systems. Cables can be divided into running cables as encountered, for example, in cranes, winches and elevators, into stationary cables such as guy cables, and as support cables and sling cables. Screws are connecting elements that should be installed and deinstalled with minimum difficulty, and the materials used should not be damaged. Springs include leaf spring packs, cup spring packs, annular spring packs, helical cup springs and torsion springs. Instruments serve to regulate streams of solids, liquids and gases. In addition, they may also assume the function of adjusting, i.e. of mixing and controlling, one or more volume flows. As well as the typical applications as tap or mixing battery, all types of valves are also considered to be instruments.
- Pneumatic components are pneumatic valves and cylinders which, by conversion of pneumatic to mechanical energy, create linear movements for pushing, lifting or retracting of workpieces and tools.
- In hydraulics, force and torque are transmitted by means of pressure and volume flow. Examples are axial piston machines, external gear machines and radial piston motors.
- The present invention therefore further provides for the use of the lubricant compositions of the invention as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil for industry in general, especially for lubrication of transmissions, such as spur, bevel, planetary, worm, hypoid and cycloid gears, hydraulics, linear guides, pneumatic components, instruments, bearings, such as slide and roller bearings, chains, cables, springs, propellers and compressors, and especially of machine components and in systems that come into occasional unintentional contact with foodstuffs, wherein the lubricant composition preferably comprises:
- A) a base oil;
- B) 0.01-10% by weight of the at least one additive, based on the total weight of the lubricant composition; and
- C) 0.001-10% by weight of the organic compound, based on the total weight of the lubricant composition,
- where the constituents present add up to a total of 100% by weight and components A), B) and C) are as defined above.
- Particular preference is given to the use of a lubricant composition comprising:
- A) a base oil;
- B) 0.01-6.0% by weight of an additive mixture, based on the total weight of the lubricant composition, where the acid mixture comprises:
- one or more antioxidants, selected from phenolic antioxidants, aminic antioxidants, propionates and thiopropionates;
- one or more defoamers, selected from ethoxylated and/or propoxylated alcohols having chain lengths of 10-18 carbon atoms, polyols, acrylates and polysiloxanes;
- one or more antiwear and/or high-pressure additives, selected from amines, amine phosphates, branched and/or linear alkylated phosphates, phosphites, thiophosphates, and phosphothionates, aryl phosphates, alkylated polysulfides, sulfonated amine compounds, sulfonated fatty acid methyl esters, naphthenic acids, nanoparticles selected from Al2O3, SiO2, TiO2, ZrO2, WO3, Ta2O5, V2O5, CeO2, aluminum titanate, BN, MoSi2, SiC, Si3N4, TiC, TiN, ZrB2, clay minerals and mixtures thereof, sulfonic salts, and thermally stable carbonates and sulfates;
- optionally one or more nonferrous metal deactivators, selected from triazole compounds, salicylates and mercaptothiadiazoles, and derivatives thereof;
- optionally one or more anticorrosives selected from the group of carboxylic acid metal salts, sulfonic acid metal salts, naphthalenesulfonic acid metal salts, benzenesulfonic acid metal salts, benzoic acid metal salts, naphthoic acid metal salts and naphthenic acid metal salts and derivatives thereof, including linear and branched aliphatic and aromatic derivatives of the acid salts, which may additionally be substituted by one or more radicals selected from linear and/or branched alkyl radicals and aryl radicals, and especially the Na, Ca, K and Mg salts; and
- optionally, as color indicator, 2,5-thiophenediylbis(5-tert-butyl-1,3-benzoxazole); and
- C) 0.001-2.5% by weight of the organic compound, based on the total weight of the lubricant composition,
- where the base oil is preferably selected from polyalphaolefins (PAOs), metallocene polyalphaolefins (mPAOs), white oils, mineral oils, neopentyl glycol esters, pentaerythritol esters, trimethylolpropane esters and pentaerythritol and trimethylolpropane complex esters that are preferably as defined above, aliphatic carboxylic and dicarboxylic esters, triglyceride fatty acid (C8/C10) esters, alkylnaphthalenes, ethylene/α-olefin oligomers and oil-soluble polyglycols, and mixtures of two or more of these,
- and where the constituents present add up to a total of 100% by weight and the organic compound C) is as defined above,
- as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil for industry in general and in the sector of the food processing industry for occasional, unintentional contact with food.
- The lubricant composition of the invention, in a further embodiment, is additionally of excellent suitability for use as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil in the marine sector and in inland waterways and in machines and machine elements on land that may come into contact with water and/or aqueous media.
- Fields of use in the marine sector and in inland waterways especially include the lubrication of gears, hydraulics, bearings, such as slide, roller or stem tube bearings, propeller rudders, propeller shafts, pneumatic components linear guides, chains and cables in machines, machine components and installations that come into contact with saltwater in the marine sector, for example offshore installations, or with water and/or aqueous media in inland waterways, without being limited thereto.
- In the marine sector, gears are used, for example, in thrusters and azipods. This use serves for transmission of force and conversion of force which takes place between drive and propeller. Both ingress of water into the interior and escape of lubricant into the marine environment is to be expected here.
- A further application in the marine sector is that of jackup systems that jack up platforms, installation ships for wind turbines or oil rigs. This movement is accomplished by open gears.
- Hydraulics in the marine sector serve to drive adjustable propeller rudders, and in fin stabilizers and rudder bearings. Linear guides are also used in the latter, which are usually lubricated with the same lubricant. Here too, lubrication takes place below the waterline. Accordingly, in this case too, ingress of water into machine parts and escape of lubricant into the marine environment is to be expected.
- Slide bearing application in the marine sector primarily involves a propeller shaft bearing present in the stem tube, called the stem tube bearing. The primary function of the propeller shaft is the transmission of the driving motion through the ship's hull to the propeller. The bearing here ensures low-friction movement.
- In addition, there is lubrication of machines and machine components in offshore wind turbines, oil and gas production platforms, in harbor installations, shipyards and the like that come into contact with seawater, water and aqueous media.
- These also include chains that are used, for example, in lock gates, cables, such as rope or cables that are employed in nets, and instruments for control of flows of solids, liquids and gases. It is likewise necessary to lubricate propellers, springs and valves in a wide variety of different apparatuses and machines.
- The present invention therefore further provides for the use of the lubricant composition of the invention as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil in the marine sector and in inland waterways, especially for lubrication of transmissions, hydraulics, propeller rudders, propeller shafts, linear guides, pneumatic components, instruments, bearings such as slide, roller or stem tube bearings, chains, cables, springs and propellers in machines, machine components and systems that come into contact with saltwater in the marine sector or with water and/or aqueous media in inland waterways, and in machines and machine elements on land that may come into contact with water and/or aqueous media, wherein the lubricant composition preferably comprises:
- A) a base oil;
- B) 0.5-7% by weight of the at least one additive, based on the total weight of the lubricant composition;
- C) 0.1-10% by weight of the organic compound, based on the total weight of the lubricant composition; and
- D) 0.1-85% by weight of the ester compound, based on the total weight of the lubricant composition
- where the constituents present add up to a total of 100% by weight and components A), B), C) and D) are as defined above.
- Particular preference is given to the use of a lubricant composition comprising:
- A) a base oil, selected from oil-soluble polyglycols, polyalphaolefins (PAOs) and metallocene polyalphaolefins (mPAOs), and mixtures of two or more of these;
- B) 0.5-5% by weight of an additive mixture comprising one or more aminic antioxidants, one or more neutralized/neutral sulfonic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acid and/or benzenesulfonic acid metal salts, one or more triazole compounds and/or triazole derivatives, and one or more polysiloxanes;
- C) 0.1-5% by weight of the organic compound; and
- D) 10-85% by weight of pentaerythritol esters;
- where the stated amounts are each based on the total weight of the lubricant composition and the constituents present add up to a total of 100% by weight, and where the organic compound C) is as defined above,
- as gear oil, roller bearing oil and slide bearing oil in the marine sector and in inland waterways and in machines and machine elements on land that may come into contact with water and/or aqueous media.
- The present invention is described in more detail by the nonlimiting examples that follow. The person skilled in the art will be able to prepare further compounds of the invention without exercising inventive skill.
- The properties of the lubricant composition and of the components present therein, if not known from the manufacturer, are determined by means of the following methods:
-
- Determination of viscosity: viscosity measurements are effected according to ASTM D 7042 by means of a Stabinger SVM 3000 viscometer (Anton Paar).
- Determination of acid number (TAN, total acid number [mg KOH/g]):
- In order to determine the acid number, the sample is dissolved in a solvent mixture and then, according to ASTM D 664-18E02, titrated with an alcoholic potassium hydroxide solution. The titration is conducted by potentiometry with the aid of a Solvotrode using a Metrohm 905 Titrando titration unit.
-
- Determination of molecular weight (Mn):
- Molecular weight is determined by means of GPC (gel permeation chromatography) against a polystyrene standard according to DIN 55672-1:2016-03 “Gel permeation chromatography (GPC)—Part 1: Tetrahydrofuran (THF) as elution solvent” using a SECcure GPC system.
-
- Determination of the integrals ∫S1 and ∫S2:
- ATR infrared spectroscopy measurements on the lubricity improvers are conducted in accordance with standard DIN 51451 (DIN 51451:2020-02) “Testing of petroleum products and related products—Analysis by infrared spectrometry—General working principles”, adapted to ATR measurement using a Bruker Tensor 27 IR spectrometer (OPUS 7.5 software) or Bruker Vertex 70 IR spectrometer (OPUS 7.0 software) from Bruker Optik GmbH.
- The following regions in the ATR spectrum are used to form the integrals ∫S1 and ∫S2:
- ∫S1: 3100-2750 cm−1
- ∫S2: 1800-1650 cm−1
- The procedure for formation of the baseline for both integrals is as follows:
- The integral region is halved. In these two subregions, the respected absolute minima are determined. If there should be multiple absolute minimum points in a subregion, the point furthest within the boundary region of the overall integral is used. The baseline is calculated via a linear equation from the two absolute minimum points in the overall integral. The spectrum to be integrated is corrected using the baseline. This is followed by the integrating of the spectrum corrected by the baseline.
-
- Determination of relative permittivity εr:
- In order to determine relative permittivity εr, a laboratory instrument from the EPSILON+ system manufactured by flucon fluid control GmbH in accordance with standard DIN EN 60247 (DIN EN 60247:2005-01) “Insulating liquids—Measurement of relative permittivity, dielectric dissipation factor (tan δ) and d.c. resistivity”, the complex fluid impedance is determined. For each lubricity improver to be analyzed, after the sample has been introduced at room temperature (about 20° C.), a measurement is run with continuous data collection from about 18.5 to 21.5° C. (step 1) and back again (step 2). Subsequently, the data obtained at the instructed 20.0° C. from the two steps are compared and averaged.

The transition speed is defined as the speed at which the contact surfaces can be fully separated, i.e. as the speed with which the transition from mixed friction (i.e. occasional contact of metallic friction partners/incompletely formed lubricant film) to the elastohydrodynamic (EHL) region (i.e. fully formed lubricant film and full separation of the metallic friction partners by lubricant film).
- The tests are conducted using a tribometer (BALL-ON-DISK TRIBOMETER from AC2Tresearch/Austrian Competence Center for Tribology) with the cylinder-on-ring test combination. A 10×10 mm (diameter×length) 100Cr6 steel cylinder having a roughness Ra of about 0.02 μm, with application of a defined load, is rubbed against a white metal ring having a roughness Ra of about 1.3 μm. The white metal ring is in an oil reservoir.
- By measurement of coefficients of friction by continuous variation of the speed of the white metal ring from low to high speed (0.05 m/s-2.5 m/s) and vice versa (2.5 m/s-0.05 m/s), Stribeck curves (friction-speed curves) are obtained.
- Prior to commencement of the test, a running-in procedure was conducted. This included speed ramps from 0.05 m/s to 2.5 m/s and then from 2.5 m/s to 0.05 m/s at 10 N and 20 N at room temperature and at 10 N at 40° C.
- The Stribeck curve is then generated at 20 N at 40° C. with a speed ramp from 0.05 m/s to 2.5 m/s.
-
FIG. 1 shows the measurement of the Stribeck curves for a base formulation without lubricity improver (comparative example 1) and a lubricant of the invention with lubricity improver (example 8). It is apparent that, in the presence of lubricity improver, there is a distinct movement in the transition speed to a lower speed (A to B). -
FIG. 2 shows the transition speed of all lubricants tested. As apparent fromFIG. 2 , all lubricants comprising lubricity improver that were tested (examples 2, 5, 8, 9, 11) have a distinctly lower transition speed than a base formulation (comparative example 1) and a lubricant composition comprising a noninventive lubricity improver (comparative example 5), which indicates that the lubricants of the invention comprising lubricity improver of the invention form the lubricant film much earlier than those of the comparative examples. The improved lubrication properties of the lubricants of the invention comprising lubricity improver show that they result in an improved load capacity, for example in slide bearings and similar components. - The tests are conducted by the test method of Hüttinger, Hermes, Wöppermann (Hüttinger, Hermes, Wöppermann, Prem (2015): Neues Prüfverfahren für dynamische Dichtungen von Getriebemotoren [New Test Method for Dynamic Seals of Drive Motors]. In: Berger and Kiefer (eds.) Dichtungstechnisches Jahrbuch 2016, Mannheim: Isgatec) on a test bed in accordance with DIN 3761-10:1984-10 (Beuth (publisher): DIN 3761, Rotary shaft lip type seals for automobiles, 1984).
- The conditions/measurement parameters are chosen as follows: elastomer material: 75 FKM 585; pressure: 0.25 bar; temperature: 70° C.; test duration: 240 h; 10 cycles with speed of 2000 rpm (20 h) and 0 rpm (4 h); grease applied: Bremer &
Leguil Cassida GTS 2. - By means of elastomer-dynamic measurements on FKM radial shaft sealing rings from Freudenberg BAU3 38-90-12 75FKM585 (Art. 49385291/49370995) by the above-described test method, dynamic elastomer compatibility with use of lubricant compositions of the invention (examples 3 and 15b) is determined. This is followed by measurement of wear scar width and of shaft wear, which are a measure of the sliding characteristics or elastomer compatibility of the lubricant composition. The control uses a base formulation without lubricity improver (comparative example 2).
- The results of the measurements are summarized in table 3:
-

GV 1; example 15b:GV 2, each by comparison with comparative example 2), a reduction in radial shaft sealing ring wear scar width from 0.66 mm to 0.35 mm (example 3) or 0.54 mm (example 15b) and a reduction in shaft wear from 20 μm to 0 μm (example 3) or 14 μm (example 15b) by comparison with the base formulation without lubricity improver (comparative example 2) is achieved. As shown by the test results for comparative example 4, by contrast, increasing the viscosity of the base formulation (mPAO 150/comparative example 4 compared to mPAO 65/comparative example 2) does not achieve any improvement. - The tests are conducted with a “ring-on-disk tribometer” with development of the construction described by Sommer M. and Haas W. ([1] Sommer, M., Haas, W. “A new approach on grease tribology in sealing technology: Influence of the thickener particles”, Tribology International (2016), 103, 574-583). The test material used is FKM elastomer material. The counterpart is a steel counterpart.
- The lubricant composition to be analyzed is examined in a ring-on-disk tribometer as described in [1] at a constant speed of 1.5 m/s and a temperature of 60° C. at a linear load of 0.90 N/mm in order to provoke collapse of the lubricant film and solid-state contact in the case of poor lubricant film formation.
- As can be inferred from
FIGS. 3A to 3D , the lubricant compositions of the invention comprising lubricity improver (example 2:GV 3; example 5:GV 5; example 11,GV 2; example 14; GV 1) show a much calmer and slower progression of the coefficient of friction p over time, which means a stable lubricant film structure and suggests hydrodynamic lubrication. This suggests a more stable tribological system of elastomer/lubricant/steel counterpart with lower wear (seeFIGS. 4A, 4B ). The base formulation without lubricity improver (comparative example 3) shows an unstable lubricant film structure, which is manifested in significant variation and a higher level of the coefficient of friction. This suggests at least local solid-state contact and a marked stick-slip effect. - As shown in
FIGS. 4A and 4B , addition of the lubricity improver reduces wear on the elastomer body by 57% (example 2: GV 3), 50% (example 14, GV 1), 67% (example 11, GV 2) or 63% (example 5, GV 5), and reduces wear on the steel counterpart by 80% (example 2: GV 3), 67% (example 14: GV 1), 67% (example 11: GV 2) or 73% (example 5: GV 5), each by comparison with the base formulation without lubricity improver (comparative example 3). - Resistance to micropitting is examined in a micro-pitting resistance (MPR) testbed (PCS Instruments, London, UK). Micropitting refers to damage at gear contacts.
- The testbed uses a triple configuration in which a central roll is in contact with three disks, which leads to three roll contact cycles per roll rotation. The two lower disks are partially immersed in oil and transport it into the contact during the test, which simulates splash lubrication. The roll and the disks are driven by separate motors, which permits the simulation of different slide-roll ratios (SRR). The tests are conducted at a Hertzian contact pressure of 1.7 GPa, an SRR of 20% to 30%, an oil temperature of 90° C. and 10 million cycles. The coefficient of friction and vibration were recorded during the test with a torque gauge or an acceleration gauge. At the end of the test, the test roll is cleaned using a solvent in order to remove residual oil, and the weight of the roll is determined, and images of the wear scar are taken with an optical microscope. The capacity of a lubricant composition with regard to its resistance to micropitting is assessed by the loss of weight (comparison of weight before and after measurement) of the roll (see
FIG. 5A ) and by the change in wear scar width (seeFIG. 5B ). - The results of the MPR measurements from
FIG. 5A show that, in the case of the lubricant compositions of the invention comprising lubricity improver (see examples 1, 4, 6, 12), a distinct reduction in weight loss compared to a base formulation without lubricity improver (see comparative example 2) is apparent. - The results of the MPR measurements from
FIG. 5B show that, in the case of the lubricant compositions of the invention comprising lubricity improver (see examples 4, 7, 10, 15), a distinct reduction in wear scar width compared to a base formulation without lubricity improver (see comparative example 4) is apparent. - While the invention has been illustrated and described in detail in the drawings and foregoing description, such illustration and description are to be considered illustrative or exemplary and not restrictive. It will be understood that changes and modifications may be made by those of ordinary skill within the scope of the following claims. In particular, the present invention covers further embodiments with any combination of features from different embodiments described above and below. Additionally, statements made herein characterizing the invention refer to an embodiment of the invention and not necessarily all embodiments.
- The terms used in the claims should be construed to have the broadest reasonable interpretation consistent with the foregoing description. For example, the use of the article “a” or “the” in introducing an element should not be interpreted as being exclusive of a plurality of elements. Likewise, the recitation of “or” should be interpreted as being inclusive, such that the recitation of “A or B” is not exclusive of “A and B,” unless it is clear from the context or the foregoing description that only one of A and B is intended. Further, the recitation of “at least one of A, B and C” should be interpreted as one or more of a group of elements consisting of A, B and C, and should not be interpreted as requiring at least one of each of the listed elements A, B and C, regardless of whether A, B and C are related as categories or otherwise.
