Definitions

  • This invention relates tonovel lubricating compositions and, particularly, those suitable for lubricating solid surfaces at high temperatures.
  • the present invention pertains to new and improved lubricating described essentially aromatic-free lubricating hydrocar- 'bon oils containing a minor amount of a zinc, cadmium and/or lead salt of a thiocarbamic acid.
  • Lubricants of this type are excellent for lubricating aircraft gas turbine engines and similar equipment normally operating under extremely severe conditions such as a temperature in the range of from below minus 65 F. to about 400 F. or even higher.
  • it has been observed that lubricants of this type although they are extremely stable at both low and moderate temperatures, lack desired high temperature stabilityparticularly at temperatures above 400 F. and higher. In aircraft engines or similar equipment this may eventually contribute to engine failure.
  • the conventionalanti-oxidants such as aromaticamines or alkyl phenols although relatively eifective in. preventin'g oxidation of hydrocarbon lubricating oils at low or moderate temperatures are essentially ineffective in minimizing oxidation of suchoils and particularly aromaticfree lubricating hydrocarbon oils when subjected :to .the extremely high temperatures, :namely in the neighborhood of 400 F. or higher as is encountered in gas turbine engines.
  • the cadmium dithiocarbamate can Zbe present in amounts varying from about 0.05% to about 5% and preferably from about 0.1% to about 2% by weight, and the copper salt can be present inamounts :of from about 1 to about 200 and preferably from about 5 to 100 parts per million as copper.
  • the hydrocarbon oil should be free from aromatics and consist essentially of isoparaffins having amolecular weight of at least 350 and a pour point at least as low as 40 F. Oils of this type may be prepared by various methods, a preferred process involving isomerization of parafiin wax such as is described in U. S. Patents 2,668,866 and 2,668,790.
  • parafiinic lubricating oils include commercial paraflin waxes which consist largely of naparalfinic hydrocarbons and some naphthenic and aromatichydrocarbons. Waxes of this type originate from distillate oil fractions such as East Texas 250 distillate, which contains-about 7.0% straight-chain hydrocarbons covering the range. from m-C to n-C the balance being naphthenes and aromatics. On isomerizing such waxes as described in the above patents and thereafter flash-removing the light ends, 'solvent dewaxing, and then topped to remove volatile compounds, the topped dewaxed isomerizate contains a .sub- :stantial amount of non-paraffinic material, mostly alkgyl aromatics formed by dearomatization.
  • Separation of the aromatics may be done by suitable .means, :such as chemical (acid) treatment, solvent extraction, solid adsorption or a combination of steps such as first solvent treating .the oil to remove a portion of the aromatics and then treating the oil with solid adsorbents such as silica or silicia-alumina gels or .activated carbon to remove substantially all of the aromatics, so-that the product is essentially isoparaffinic in character. Oils of this type have a pour point of at least as low as 40 F. and preferably between 50 F. and 65 F., and molecular weights of at least 350 and preferably between 400 and 650.
  • compositions of this invention has the following properties:
  • API.. 41.1 Refractive index, 11 1.4560. .Mol. weight 456. Viscosity at 210 F 4.98. Viscosity at F 24.0. Viscosity index, F 147. Pour point, F .60. Cloud point, vF -60. Flash point, F 460. Volatility, percent loss in 6 /2 hr. at 400 F 6.4. Monoaromatics Less than 0.15. Carbon, percent W 85.28. Hydrogen, percent w 14.69. Empirical formula '.C ,.;H Naphthenicity One ring in approximately 15% of molecules.
  • the oil-soluble cadmium dithiocarbamates include the cadmium N, or N,N-hydrocarbyl substituted dithiocarbamates wherein the hydrocarbyl radicals .can be alkyl, or cycloalkyl radicals. It is preferred thatthehydrooarbyl radicals be alkyl radicals of from 4 to 16 carbon atoms, and preferably from 4 to 12 carbon atoms.
  • cadmiumdithiocarbamates are cadmium dialkyldithiocarbamates such as cadmium .dipropyldithiocarbamate, dibutyl dithiocarbamate, diamyl dithiocarbamate, dihexyl dithiocarbamate, dio'ctyl dithiocarbamate, di-Z-ethylhexyl dithiocarbamate, di-isobutyldithiocarbamate, diisoarnyl dithiocarbamate, N-amyl -N- methyl dithiocarbamate, N-methyl-N'-octyl dithiocarbamate, N-octyl-N'-butyl dithiocarbamate, N-n-amyl-N'-2- methylbutyl dithiocarbamate, N-n-amyl-N-B-methylbutyl dithiocarbamate, N-n-amy
  • the oil-soluble copper salts include-coppersalts of organic carboxylic acid such as aliphatic, cycloaliphatic'or aromatic acids such as copper palmitate, stearate, oleate, naphthenate, benzoate, salicylate and mixtures thereof; or copper sulfonates such as copper petroleum sulfonate, copper alkyl naphthalene sulfonate, copper alkyl benzene sulfonate; or copper alkyl phenate, copper alkyl phenol sulfide and the like.
  • organic carboxylic acid such as aliphatic, cycloaliphatic'or aromatic acids such as copper palmitate, stearate, oleate, naphthenate, benzoate, salicylate and mixtures thereof
  • copper sulfonates such as copper petroleum sulfonate, copper alkyl naphthalene sulfonate, copper alkyl benzene sulfonate;
  • an organic amine antioxidant can be added.
  • Particularly effective materials are aromatic amines such as phenyl-alpha-naphthylamine, phenylbetanaphthylamine and N,N,N',N tetramethyldiamino diphenylmethane. These amines, when used are employed in amounts of from about 0.01% to about 2% by weight, based on the total composition.
  • halogen-containing organic phosphate and/or phosphonates can be added in amounts varying from about 0.005% to about 2% and preferably from about 0.01% to about 0.5% by weight.
  • halogen-substituted hydrocarbyl- (alkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl) phosphates and phosphonates include haloalkyl phosphates such as tris(l:eta-chlcroethyl) phosphate.
  • Suitable haloalkyl alkenylphosphonates are represented by di(beta-ch1oroethyl) vinylphosphonate, di(beta-ch1oropropy1) vinyiphosphonate and the alkyl haloalkyl vinylphosphon tes. such as methyl beta-chloroethyl vinylphosphate, ethyl beta-chloroethyl vinylphosphonate, ethyl beta-chloropropyl vinylphosphonate, and the like.
  • Mixtures of the phosphates and phosphonates are particularly desired where oil solubility is a problem and such mixtures are exemplified by tris(beta-chloroethyl) phosphate and bis(beta-chloroethyl) vinyl phosphonate, or tris(beta-chloropropyl) phosphate and bis(beta-chloroethyl) vinyl phosphonate.

This invention relates tonovel lubricating compositions and, particularly, those suitable for lubricating solid surfaces at high temperatures. :More specifically, the present invention pertains to new and improved lubricating described essentially aromatic-free lubricating hydrocar- 'bon oils containing a minor amount of a zinc, cadmium and/or lead salt of a thiocarbamic acid. Lubricants of this type are excellent for lubricating aircraft gas turbine engines and similar equipment normally operating under extremely severe conditions such as a temperature in the range of from below minus 65 F. to about 400 F. or even higher. However, it has been observed that lubricants of this type, although they are extremely stable at both low and moderate temperatures, lack desired high temperature stabilityparticularly at temperatures above 400 F. and higher. In aircraft engines or similar equipment this may eventually contribute to engine failure.
The conventionalanti-oxidants such as aromaticamines or alkyl phenols although relatively eifective in. preventin'g oxidation of hydrocarbon lubricating oils at low or moderate temperatures are essentially ineffective in minimizing oxidation of suchoils and particularly aromaticfree lubricating hydrocarbon oils when subjected :to .the extremely high temperatures, :namely in the neighborhood of 400 F. or higher as is encountered in gas turbine engines.
It has now been discovered that such aromatic free essentially isoparafiinic hydrocarbon lubricating oils can be efiectively inhibited against oxidation over a wide temperature range and particularly at temperatures .above 400 F. and higher by addition thereto of minor but critical amounts of each of two oil-soluble polyvalent metal salts, one being an oil-solublecadmium dithiocarbamate and the other being an oil-soluble copper .salt such as an oil-soluble copper carboxylate, naphthenate, sulfonate or phenate of which the oihsoluble copper naphthenate is preferred.
The cadmium dithiocarbamate can Zbe present in amounts varying from about 0.05% to about 5% and preferably from about 0.1% to about 2% by weight, and the copper salt can be present inamounts :of from about 1 to about 200 and preferably from about 5 to 100 parts per million as copper.
The hydrocarbon oil should be free from aromatics and consist essentially of isoparaffins having amolecular weight of at least 350 and a pour point at least as low as 40 F. Oils of this type may be prepared by various methods, a preferred process involving isomerization of parafiin wax such as is described in U. S. Patents 2,668,866 and 2,668,790.
Waxes used in producing essentially aromatic-free isonited States PatentO 2,820,01 l Patented Jan. :14, 1.958
parafiinic lubricating oils include commercial paraflin waxes which consist largely of naparalfinic hydrocarbons and some naphthenic and aromatichydrocarbons. Waxes of this type originate from distillate oil fractions such as East Texas 250 distillate, which contains-about 7.0% straight-chain hydrocarbons covering the range. from m-C to n-C the balance being naphthenes and aromatics. On isomerizing such waxes as described in the above patents and thereafter flash-removing the light ends, 'solvent dewaxing, and then topped to remove volatile compounds, the topped dewaxed isomerizate contains a .sub- :stantial amount of non-paraffinic material, mostly alkgyl aromatics formed by dearomatization. Separation of the aromatics may be done by suitable .means, :such as chemical (acid) treatment, solvent extraction, solid adsorption or a combination of steps such as first solvent treating .the oil to remove a portion of the aromatics and then treating the oil with solid adsorbents such as silica or silicia-alumina gels or .activated carbon to remove substantially all of the aromatics, so-that the product is essentially isoparaffinic in character. Oils of this type have a pour point of at least as low as 40 F. and preferably between 50 F. and 65 F., and molecular weights of at least 350 and preferably between 400 and 650.
An example of an essentially aromatic-freeisoparaffinic lubricating oil (X) for use in compositions of this invention has the following properties:

Empirical formula '.C ,.;H Naphthenicity One ring in approximately 15% of molecules.
The oil-soluble cadmium dithiocarbamates include the cadmium N, or N,N-hydrocarbyl substituted dithiocarbamates wherein the hydrocarbyl radicals .can be alkyl, or cycloalkyl radicals. It is preferred thatthehydrooarbyl radicals be alkyl radicals of from 4 to 16 carbon atoms, and preferably from 4 to 12 carbon atoms.
Illustrative examples of cadmiumdithiocarbamates are cadmium dialkyldithiocarbamates such as cadmium .dipropyldithiocarbamate, dibutyl dithiocarbamate, diamyl dithiocarbamate, dihexyl dithiocarbamate, dio'ctyl dithiocarbamate, di-Z-ethylhexyl dithiocarbamate, di-isobutyldithiocarbamate, diisoarnyl dithiocarbamate, N-amyl -N- methyl dithiocarbamate, N-methyl-N'-octyl dithiocarbamate, N-octyl-N'-butyl dithiocarbamate, N-n-amyl-N'-2- methylbutyl dithiocarbamate, N-n-amyl-N-B-methylbutyl dithiocarbamate, N-octyl-N-2-ethylhexyldithiocarbamate, andcadmium dicycloalkyl dithiocarbamates, :such as cadmium dicyclohexyl dithiocarbamate, and the-like.
The oil-soluble copper salts include-coppersalts of organic carboxylic acid such as aliphatic, cycloaliphatic'or aromatic acids such as copper palmitate, stearate, oleate, naphthenate, benzoate, salicylate and mixtures thereof; or copper sulfonates such as copper petroleum sulfonate, copper alkyl naphthalene sulfonate, copper alkyl benzene sulfonate; or copper alkyl phenate, copper alkyl phenol sulfide and the like.
To ensure good oxidation stability of compositions of this invention at normal engine operating temperatures, minor amounts of an organic amine antioxidant can be added. Particularly effective materials are aromatic amines such as phenyl-alpha-naphthylamine, phenylbetanaphthylamine and N,N,N',N tetramethyldiamino diphenylmethane. These amines, when used are employed in amounts of from about 0.01% to about 2% by weight, based on the total composition.
To inhibit pitting and corrosion certain classes of halogen-containing organic phosphate and/or phosphonates can be added in amounts varying from about 0.005% to about 2% and preferably from about 0.01% to about 0.5% by weight.
Examples of halogen-substituted hydrocarbyl- (alkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl) phosphates and phosphonates include haloalkyl phosphates such as tris(l:eta-chlcroethyl) phosphate. tris(beta-chloro-2-ethylhexy1) phosphate, butyl di- (beta-chloroethyl) phosphate, butyl dit beta-chloroethyl) phosphate, cresyl di(beta-ch1oroethyl) phosphate, p-chlorophenyl di(oeta-chloroethyl) phosphate, I betachloroethyl diphenyl phosphate: tri-(diChlormropyl) phosphate and mixtures thereof. Suitable haloalkyl alkenylphosphonates are represented by di(beta-ch1oroethyl) vinylphosphonate, di(beta-ch1oropropy1) vinyiphosphonate and the alkyl haloalkyl vinylphosphon tes. such as methyl beta-chloroethyl vinylphosphate, ethyl beta-chloroethyl vinylphosphonate, ethyl beta-chloropropyl vinylphosphonate, and the like. Mixtures of the phosphates and phosphonates are particularly desired where oil solubility is a problem and such mixtures are exemplified by tris(beta-chloroethyl) phosphate and bis(beta-chloroethyl) vinyl phosphonate, or tris(beta-chloropropyl) phosphate and bis(beta-chloroethyl) vinyl phosphonate.

* Same as oil (X) identified in column 2, lines 25 to 45.
Other examples of this invention include compositions comprising an oil base of the type described, namely an aromatic-free isoparaffinic lubricating oil containing from 0.1% to 1% of Cd dibutyldithiocarbamate, or Cd dihexyldithiocarbamate, or Cd dicyclohexyldithiocarbamate, or Cd diamyldithiocarbamate, and from about 5 to p. p. m. of Cu as copper naphthenate, petroleum sulfonate, stearate, oleate, and mixtures thereof. To these compositions can be added from 0.1% to 1% of an amine antioxidant such as phenyl-alpha-naphthylamine or phenylbeta-naphthylamine.
The effectiveness of compositions of this invention to resist oxidation at high temperatures was determined using the High-Temperature Oxidation Test described in Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, August 1952, vol. 44, page 1834. The test temperature was maintained at 417 F. Compositions A, B, C, D, E, and F were found to be from 7 to 10 times as stable and resistant toward oxidation at 417 F. than similar compositions but in which the Cu naphthenate was omitted.
Compositions of this invention may contain minor amounts (0.01-1%) of extreme-pressure agents, antiwear agents, color stabilizers, viscosity index and pour point depressants, and the like.
