Definitions

  • This invention relates to lubricating compositions and to a method for their preparation.
  • the invention accordingly, comprises the lubricating compositions or greases having the properties and the relation of components which will be exemplified in the compositions hereinafter described and the method of preparing such compositions which method of preparation involves the several steps and relation of one or more of such steps with respect to each of the others thereof and will be exemplified in detail in the processes hereinafter described and illustrated, and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims.
  • organo-silicon compounds One class of organo-silicon compounds is illustrated by polymeric compositions of the following general structure:
  • R, R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 represent any alkyl, aryl, alkaryl or arallq l radicals, which compounds are available in the form of more or less viscous, oil-like fluids and, in general, are water-white and characterized by such properties as great thermal stability and high viscosity index.
  • Relatively common compounds of this type are dimethyl silicone, diethyl silicone, ethyl methyl silicone, di-phenyl silicone, di-tolyl silicone, phenyl tolyl silicone, methyl phenyl silicone, ethyl phenyl silicone and alkyl aryl silicone polymers.
  • dimethyl silicone polymer having a viscosity of about centistokes, one of the most common fluids corresponding to the above general formula, has no inherent rust inhibiting valuesuch as that possessed by many hydrocarbon oils and it will be found that it is not a boundary lubricant and seizure will occur in bearings employing it as a lubricant.
  • suitable alkali-metal fatty acid soap such as lithium stearate
  • a concentration of about 2 per cent in a hydrocarbon fraction of relatively low boiling range for example, about 100 to 440 F.
  • heating the mixture to the solvation temperature of the soap and maintaining it at substantially such temperature a gel structure will result.
  • the silicone fluid which must be one which is miscible with the hydrocarbon fraction, is added, agitated to form a homogeneous mix and the petroleum fraction removed to
  • the general property which the hydrocarbon fraction should have is that it be relatively low-boiling and that it be miscible with the silicone fluid to be used as the grease base.
  • the solvent should preferably have a boiling range well below that of the silicone oil,,for example 100 below that of the oil and it should have no heavy ends. However, the boiling range of the solvent should be high enough to approach the solvation temperature of the soap which is generally close to its melting temperature.
  • hydrocarbon solvents having boiling ranges of about 300 to 400 F. are suitable at atmospheric pressure or low boiling point solvents can be used at 300-400 F. under pressure.
  • Such hydrocarbon fractions or mutual solvents are benzene, petroleum ether, naphthas, deodorized kerosene and, generally; those hydrocarbon fractions used as insecticide carrying oils are useful in that they have the right boiling temhaving a silicone fluid as a base can be prepared with any desired soap concentration.
  • Example I 1 Lithium stearate, 2 parts, was dispersed in 100 parts by weight of a petroleum fraction having a boiling range of 300 to 400 F. (100 F. flash point naphtha) and the mixture heated to about 300 and maintained at that temperature until the lithium stearate had gone into solution to form a thick gel. Twenty-two (22) parts by weight of phenyl silicone (Dow-Corning 700 serles) having a viscosity of about 100 centistokes at 25 C. was added to the lithium soap-petroleum fraction gel at the elevated temperature and the mass'mixed to a uniform consistency.
  • phenyl silicone Dow-Corning 700 serles
  • Example III of the mixture in the bomb had developed, the I pressure was released and the petroleum ether allowed to evaporate off to leave behind a smooth homogeneous grease comprising about 15 per cent of lithium soap in dimethyl silicone.
  • Example IV Four (4) parts of lithium stearate were dispersed in 30 parts of Stoddard Solvent and the mixture heated to 150 C. in an open vessel to complete solvation of the soap. When a maximum thickening had been attained, approxiperature of about 200 to 250 F. in a vessel under a reduced pressure of 10 millimeters of mercury in order to assist in the removal of the petroleum fraction. The product, upon the removal of the petroleum fraction, was a stable grease of very smooth consistency having a soap concentration of about 9 per cent. I
  • Balancing ingredients such as corrosion inhibitors
  • Example V Three (3) parts of lithium stearate were dispersed in 35 parts of deodorized kerosene (boiling range 425-475 F.) and the mixture heated to 250 C. to effect solvation of the soap therein. Upon the formation of a thick gel, there were eflect solvation of the soap.
  • Example VI with the result that a very thick gel was left in the vessel.
  • 20 parts of diethyl and dimethyl silicone polymer (1-1 by weight) were added and the total mixture agitated and held at 150 C. until a completely homogeneous mix was formed.
  • the mix was then poured into a shallow pan and held at a temperature of about 125 C. in a current of warm air until all of the solvent had been removed before it was allowed to cool.
  • Example VII Lithium stearate, 6 parts, was dispersed in about 200 parts by weight of a petroleum traction having a boiling range of 300 to 400 F. (100 flash naphtha) and the mixture heated to about 300 and maintained at that temperature until the lithium stearate had gone into solution to form a thickened gel. As pointed out in connection with other examples, the completion 01' this stage is identifiable as the point at which maximum thickening of the solution occurs. Fortytwo (42) parts by weight of a mixture of phenyl silicone polymer and ethyl silicone polymer (approximately 1-1 by weight) were added to the gel after evaporating off from the gel part of the solvent used for solvating the soap. The
  • compositions of these examples thus contemplate using more than 70 parts of the silicone polymer blended with less than 30 parts of the lithium stearate.
  • the method of preparing. silicone-base grease compositions in accordance with the invention comprises blending a soap with the silicone fluid by employing a relatively low-boiling petroleum or hydrocarbon fraction as a mutual solvent for bringing the soap into colloidal solution in the base fluid.
  • a relatively low-boiling petroleum or hydrocarbon fraction as a mutual solvent for bringing the soap into colloidal solution in the base fluid.
  • silicone fluid used as a base for the grease be compatible with the petroleum fraction 6 l i and that the latter has no heavy ends.
  • composition is made up almost entirely of the ingredients recited and these ingredients are the main and characterizin ones, but this expression does not exclude the presence of minor amounts of other ingredients which are commonly employed in lubricating compositions or which are merely inert. Such added ingredients would not change the essential character of the composition.
  • a lubricant consisting essentially of, an organo-silicon polymer as a base fluid blended with a minor amount of lithium stearate to produce a stable grease.
  • a lubricating composition consisting essentially of. as a base fluid, more than 70 parts of an alkyl silicone polymer having a viscosity of about centistokes at 26 C. blended with less than 30 parts of lithium stearate to produce a stable grease.
