Definitions

  • hydroabietyl alcohol is composed of 13-15 per cent of a non-alcohol fraction and the balance is about 15 per cent dehydroabietyl alcohol, 40 per cent dihydroabietyl alcohol and 45 per cent tetrahydroabietyl alcohol. It will be understood that the distribution of the alcohols averages that given hereinbefore but will vary from batch to batch.
  • hydroabietyl alcohol is typical of a primary monohydric alcohol plus what might be expected from the residual unsaturation in the ring structure. Nevertheless, it has been found that as an additive to mineral oil to produce a compounded mineral oil for use as a gear lubricant or a cutting oil or a turbine oil, the similarity between esters of hydroabietyl alcohol and esters of a primary monohydric aliphatic alcohol ceases to exist. It is true that hydroabietylalcohol reacts with monoand dicarboxylic acids to produce esters but the similarity between hydroabietyl alcohol and oleyl alcohol, for example, ceases at that point.
  • esters of hydroabietyl alcohol may give the 5 improved results to be discussed hereinafter because of the structure of the alcohol, because of the degree of unsaturation of the major portion of the alcohol fraction or for other reasons at present unknown.
  • the three alcohols present in hydroabietyl alcohol have the following structures:
  • esters prepared from the commercial hydroabietyl alcohol and hydroxy aliphatic polycarboxylic acids are useful as rust inhibitors in turbine oils and as extreme pressure additives in lubricants such as gear oils.
  • Typical esters are di-hydroabietyl malate, dihydroabietyl tartrate, tri-hydroabietyl citrate, hydroabietyl-2-ethylhexyl malate, hydroabietyl- 2-ethylhexyl tartrate, di-hydroabietyl-2-ethylhexyl citrate, hydroabietyl-di-2-ethylhexyl citrate, hydroabietyl-oleyl malate, hydroabietyloleyl tartrate, di-hydroabietyl-oleyl citrate, hydroabietyl dioleyl citrate, and similar esters of hydroxy aliphatic polycarboxylic acids in which all of the carboxyl groups are esterified with hydroab

  • Blends within the ranges set forth hereinbefore were made and subjected to several tests to determine the effectiveness of the novel hydroabietyl esters in comparison with prior art additives which have proved efiective.
  • the blends were subjected toa tapping test, the Oster threading test and a drill life test.
  • Tapping test In the measurement of tapping emciency of an oil, a series of holes are very accurately drilled in a test metal, namely SAE-1020 steel. These holes are subsequently tapped with a series of taps, in a drill press equipped with a table, which is free to rotate about the center, being mounted on ball bearings. A torque arm is attached to this "floating table and this arm in turn actuates a spring scale so that the actual torque during tapping with the oil being evaluated is measured directly.
  • the same taps used in evaluating the test oil are employed in tapping with a standard reference oil, which has arbitrarily been assigned an efiiciency of 100 per cent. The average torque for the test oil is compared to that of the standard and a relative efficiency is calculated on a percentage basis. For example:
  • the drill life test is determined by using ten' drills ground to specified angles, three of which are placed in the chucks of a triple spindle head of the drill press. Holes are then drilled through flats of SAE 3140 steel until drill failure occurs. This is evidenced by excessive noise, tool burning and deterioration at the cutting edges. The failed drill is replaced with .a newly ground one and the test is continued until all ten drills fail.
  • the drill life is the average of the number of holes obtained per drill before failure.
  • Additive HO comprised the hydroabietyl oleyl malate prepared as described hereinbefore.
  • Additive HOC comprised the hydroabietyl octyl (2-ethylhexyl) malate prepared as described hereinbefore.
  • Additive DIH comprised the di-hydroabietyl malate prepared as described hereinbefore.
  • Additive DAM comprised the neutral malate ester of an uiisaltulrated high molecular weight aliphatic monohydric a co 0
  • Additive MAM comprised a compound ester in which both carboxyl groups of malic acid are esterified by a monoglycol ester of a high molecular weight aliphatic monocarboxylic acid.
  • Ester H0 has the following structure:
  • R is a high molecular weight olefinic radical and R" is the radical from the hydroabietyl alcohol mixture.
  • the novel ester is about twice as efilcient as the prior art ester-type additive.
  • esters having both carboxyl groups of an hydroxy aliphatic polycarboxylic acid esterified with radicals from hydroabietyl alcohol mixture are all more effective than. similar esters of aliphatic alcohols, there is an advantage to the use of either mixed esters or mixtures of esters. This advantage results from the viscosity of the various esters. As is manifest after a consideration of the following tabulation of viscosities of. various esters, di-hydroabietyl malate, for example, is far more viscous than the mixed esters.
  • the high viscosity of the di-hydroabietyl esters makes it desirable to reduce the viscosity without sacrificing a disproportionate amount of the effectiveness of the hydroabietyl esters. As will be appreciated by study of the following tabulation this can be done by using mixed esters.
  • Fluidity of the product can be obtained by employing mixed esters of alpha-hydroxy polycarboxylic aliphatic acids in which from 50 mole per cent to 100 mole per cent hydroabietyl radical and from 1 to 50 mole per cent of an alkyl radical are present in the carbalkoxy groups (carbalkoxy being inclusive of carbcycloalkoxy).
  • the alkyl groups are those derived from monohydric aliphatic saturated or unsaturated alcohols having'from one through 18 carbon atoms and includes oleyl alcohol.
  • a mechanical mixture is made of anhydroabietyl ester of an alpha-hydroxy aliphatic polycarboxylic acid and an ester of an alphahydroxy aliphatic polycarboxylic acid and a. monohydric aliphatic alcohol having 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the proportion to produce the desired viscosity and the mixture added to the oil to be fortified.
  • the amount of hydroabietyl alcohol employed is based upon the hydroxyl number of the available mixture containing the hydroabietyl alcohol. That is to say, one mole of alcohol is equivalent to 17 grams of hydroxyl radical.
  • esters are satisfactory for use in cutting oils it is preferred to use esters which are a mixture of neutral and partial esters for anti-rust agents. Therefore, it is preferred to use esters having a neutralization number of zero to 30 in cutting oils but esters having a minimum neutralization number of 10 in anti-rust oils, such as turbine oils.
  • the present invention contemplates the addition of the novel esters to simple or compound mineral oils of lubricating grade in the proportion of about to about 99 per cent by weight of base oil to about 10 to l per cent, preferably 0.1 to 2 per cent by weight of the novel ester.
