Definitions

  • the present invention relates to new agents suitable for the improvement of lubricants, more particularly of lubricating oils, and to a method for producing these agents.
  • improving agents for lubricants of highefliciency are obtained by acting on fatty acids which contain one or more double linkages and/or hydroxyl groups, or on esters of the said fatty acids, more particularly their glycerides, as for example drying or semi-drying animal or vegetable oils, with boron halides at temperatures of at least 50 C. and, if so desired, decomposing the resulting thickened oils with selective solvents.
  • lubricants more particularly to lubricating oils, they improve the properties of the latter, for example by raising the viscosity, improving the temperaturewiscosity curves, lowermg the pour point, reducing the formation of sludge and diminishing the tendency to form pitch.
  • soy bean oil, cottonseed oil, castor oil, rape oil and linseed oil and among the animal oils whale oil and neats-foot oil may be mentioned, by way of example, as starting materials
  • the fatty acids contained in the said oils, as well as synthetic acids and acid esters having a similar nature may also be employed as starting materials. It is preferred to employ as initial materials such fatty oils as are known. to belong to the class of non-drying or semi-drying oils (cf. Holde, Kohlenwasserstoffole und Fette, 6th ed., page 598 et seq.) Or the fatty acids which are found in oils of the said classes.
  • the initial materials may be polymerized in an undiluted condition or also in admixture with diluents or solvents, as for example benzine, illu-' minating oil or carbon tetrachloride.
  • diluents or solvents as for example benzine, illu-' minating oil or carbon tetrachloride.
  • boron halides boron fluoride which may be used in the gaseous state or in the form of its addition or complex compounds, for example with glacial acetic acid or'with ethers, or also in admixture with suitable solvents, as for example nitrobenzene or phenol, is particularly'suitable.
  • the treatment is performed at a temperatureof at least 50 C., but preferably at a higher temperature which, however, as a rule should not exceed 160 C., the boron fluoride for example being slowly passed in the gaseous state into the oil, while stirring, until the necessary amount has been absorbed.
  • the resulting products when added to lubricants, for example lubricating oils, improve the temperature-viscosity curve and increase the viscosity thereof. They also often possess the property of lowering the pour point of lubricating oils, which undesirably high pour point is usually caused by the presence of parafiln wax in said oils, but for this purpose it is often necessary to add the polymerization products in large amounts and under certain circumstances no lowering of the pour point may take place at all. However, it is often undesirable to add to the lubricating oils large amounts of products containing oxygen, because other undesirable properties may be thereby imparted to the oils.
  • the polymerization products obtained as aforedescribed may be improved by treating them with selective solvents, whereby two fractions are obtained, one of which has a high molecular weight and a high emciency for lowering the pour point, while the other having a lower molecular weight has only slight activity in this respect.
  • the emciency of the high molecular portion depends on the selective dissolving power of the solvent applied, on its amount, on the temperature and kind of the treatment.
  • suitable selective solvents for this purpose we may mention by way of example alcohols, ketones, phenols, esters, aldehydes, chlorhydrins, ethers and chlorinated ethers, compounds containing nitrogen, as for example nitrobenzene, aniline and nitriles, also liquid sulphurous acid, hydrocarbons having a low boiling point, as for example propane. and butane, or
  • the high molecular fractions of the polymerization products have a consistency ranging from viscous to plastic and a from yellow to brown color. They are usually dificultly soluble or insoluble in the said selective solvents. For the improvement of their color they may be treated with bleaching earths. On the other hand, their molecular weight may be increased still further by subjecting them to another treatment with selective solvents or with boron fluoride.
  • fractions soluble in theselective Solvents either are unchanged initial materials or oils having undergone only slight polymerization; they maybe treated anew with boron fluoride and thus converted'into high molecular products of high efficiency.
  • Example 1 Soy bean oil having a viscosity of 1.72 E. at 99 C. is heated to 130 C. 'in a stirring vessel and 2.3 per cent by weight of boron fluoride are led in within 30 minutes, stirring being then continued for additional 30 minutes at 130 C. After removing the boron fluoride by washing out with water or an alcoholic solution of caustic alkai, a product is obtained which has a viscosity of 9.5 E. at 100 C. and which on addition in an amount of 20 per cent by weight lowers the pour point of a lubricating oil (having a specific gravity of 0.906 at 20 C. and a viscosity of 1.85 E. at 99 C.) from 8 to -17 C.
  • a lubricating oil having a specific gravity of 0.906 at 20 C. and a viscosity of 1.85 E. at 99 C.
  • Example 2 4 per cent by weight of boron fluoride are led at 130 C. within 6 hours into cottonseed oil having a viscosity of 1.8 E. at 99 C.
  • the reaction product is diluted with benzine and washed with water until neutral. After distilling off the solvent, a plastic mass is obtained which has a viscosity of 17.8 E. at 99 C.
  • the pour point thereof is lowered to 28 C.
  • a composition of matter essentially comprising a lubricating oil having an undesirably high pour point and a polymerization product which has been obtained by treating soy bean oil at a temperature of about 130 C. for about one hour with about 2.8% by weight of boron fluoride until that amount of boron fluoride has been absorbed which is necessary to produce polymers which are soluble in said lubricating oil and capable of materially depressing the pour point oi that lubricating oil when dissolved therein.
  • a composition of matter essentially comprising a lubricating. oil having an undesirably high pour point and a polymerization product which has been obtained by treating cotton seed oil at a temperature of about C. for about 6 hours with about 4% by weight of boron fluoride until that amount of boron fluoride has been absorbed which is necessary to produce polymers which are soluble in said lubricating oil and capable of materially depressing the pour point of that lubricating oil when dissolved therein.
  • composition as claimed in claim 1 in which the polymerization product prior to being incorporated with the lubricating oil has been treated with a selective solvent to recover a highmolecular fraction of said product.
  • composition as claimed in claim 1 in which the undesirably high pour point of the lubricating oil is due to the presence of paraflin wax.
  • composition as claimed in claim 1 in which the polymerization product is present in a minor proportion, as compared with the lubrieating oil.
  • composition as claimed in claim 1 in which the polymerization product is present in an amount not exceeding 5 per cent.
  • composition as claimed in claim 2 in which the polymerization product prior to being incorporated with the lubricating oil has been treated with a selective solvent to recover a high-molecular fraction of said product.
  • composition as claimed in claim 2 in which the polymerization product is present in a minor proportion, as compared with the lubricating oil.
