Definitions

  • the presentinvention relates wanimproved process "of' preparing lubricating greases and, particularly, grea'sescontain-ing soaps of'hydroxy acidsgsuch as l2-hydroxy stearic-acid. In-par ti'cular, it relates to a process"bywhich' stable calcium base greases of superior consistency may be prepared underconditions 'of'dehydrationa's contrasted to the conventional hydration. L
  • the soap-oil concentrate iscooled 'Whenopgrease's'containing' calcium soaps of hydroxy acids?
  • The-norm'al procedure is carried out in to -a temperature close to the boiling pOintof waterrfor example, about 225 F., while additional mineral oil and small quantitiesof water are addedand stirred into the mixture.
  • additional lubricating oil is added to the soap.- water-o'il mixture until a grease is obtained having the' desired consistency.
  • This-product is then cooled --to a suita'ble drawing. temperature, for example, about R, and is drawn i'nto: 138,-: ceptacles or-packages.
  • the soap is in'a semi-fl-uid state. If it is allowed 'to cool to 175 F. or so'without addition of further oil or water it forms a dry, hard, brittle mass.
  • the soap-oil mixture forms a soft plastic composition of grease-like structure. If the productof' the 'first step is merely diluted with oilan'd cooled, for example, to about 175,F. or so without the'additio'n of water, the soap and oil .will, separate into'f'two phases.
  • a preferred process by which a superior grease can be prepared is as follows:
  • the hydroxy fatty acid which may be 12-hydroxy stearic acid or other monoor dihydroxy fatty acids having from about 12 to 24 carbon atoms, is reacted with lime at a temperature of about 180 to 200 F., preferably about 190 F.
  • the hydroxy acid and lime are preferably reacted in the presence of a relatively small amount of oil, for example, about /2 to 5 times as much oil, by weight, as hydroxy acid.
  • the oil used is ordinarily mineral base lubricating oil of appropriate viscosity for the service for which the grease is prepared, i. e., between 60 and. 5,000, preferably about 100 to 1,000 S. U. S. at 100 F.
  • the quantity of lubricating oil preferably should be from about equal to about four times the weight of the hydroxy acid. After the hydroxy acid and 7 little have thus been reacted in'the presence'of lubricating oil, the mass is slowly heated forslow 4 shows the increase in consistency which seem-- panied dehydration.
  • EXAMPLE'I 1 The process is essentially one of dehydra- :tion accompanied ,by mechanical shearing or milling. This is directly opposite to the manufacture of conventional lime soap grease which require hydration with 0.5 to 2% of water in order to obtain a stable dispersion of the soap.

  • EXAMPLE IV Another grease composition likewise containing calcium soap of 12-hydroxy stearic acid and an oil of similar viscosity index (about 55) but of higher viscosity, about 900 S. U. S. at 100 F.,
  • the grease must be prepared at a maximum temperature not more than about 275 F., preferably about 270F.
  • The'usual additives and modifiers such as oxidation inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, extreme pressure agents, and the like, may be used in the greases of this invention, if desired, as will be obvious to those skilled in the art.
  • types of greases usually contain from about'5 to'j 12% of the hydroxy acid, preferably 12-hydroxy stearic acid, in the form of the calcium soap, but proportions may be as low as 2% or as high as 30%, based on the weight of the final composition.
