Definitions

  • This invention relates to new and improved mineral oil lubricating compositions Containing a high molecular weight polymer which does not form ash, these lubricating compositions possessing particularly good pour point depressing properties.
  • Lubricating oils because of the nature of their Lsource and/or methods of refining, contain greater or lesser amounts of wax.
  • Lubricating oils of this type are less desirable for many types of operations, particularly under cold operating conditions, such as those encountered in cold climates, this because they readily congeal.
  • pour point depressants In order to overcome this defect in wax-containing lubricating oils, pour point depressants have to be employed with such oils.
  • the polymeric esters of the acrylic or alkacrylic, e.g. methacrylic, acids are also known polymeric materials used for this purpose.
  • Other known polymeric materials used for this purpose are the polymerized olefins, alkylated naphthalene and the like. I
  • polymeric materials can efiectively reduce the pour point of some oils, they are restricted in use to some particular base oils; otherwise they are ineffective and impart certain undesirable properties to the final composition because: (a) they are corrosive, (b) they have the tendency to form emulsions when water or steam is present, and (c) they possess the tendency to break down at elevated temperatures.
  • an excellent pour point depressant which is effective in all mineral oils cornprises an oil-soluble polymeric compound of at least three polymerizable monomers one of them being a vinylpyridine and at least two dissimilar esters of acrylic acid and preferably methacrylic acid and dissimilar long chain aliphatic alcohols, these alcohols containing at least and not more than 20 carbon atoms and wherein the average chain length of these alkyl side chains (straight or branch-chain) in the ester mixture is in the C to C range and preferably in the C to C range.
  • the mole ratio of the vinylpyridine to the polymerizable esters can vary from 1:2 to 1:10 and the dissimilar acrylate esters can vary in the mole ratio of 1:4 to 4:1.
  • the final polymer should have a molecular weight varying from about fifty thousand to about two and one half million and preferably between 100,000 and '85 0,000 as determined by the light scattering method. More specifically, it has been found that terpolymers of a vinylpyridine and mixtures of esters of methacrylic acid and dissimilar aliphatic alcohols, as described above exhibit pour point depressant activity which is far greater than that of the corresponding copolymers of a vinylpyridine with a single ester of methacrylic acid and a long chain aliphatic alcohol.
  • the vinylpyridines used in making the polymers may be exemplified by 2-vinylpyridine, 3-vinylpyridine, 4- vinylpyridine, as well as the alkyl-substituted derivatives thereof, e.g. 2-methyl-5-vinylpyridine, 4-methyl-2-vinylpyridine, S-ethyI-Z-vinylpyridine and '2-butyl-5-vinylpyridine and the like.
  • pyridines include at least two dissimilar esters of acrylic latent O P
  • esters include dodecyl methacrylate/octadecyl methacrylate, tetradecyl acrylate/octadecyl methacrylate, decyl methacrylate/octadecyl methacrylate, tetradecyl methacrylate/hexadecyl methacrylate, technical lauryl methacrylate/octadecyl methacrylate, these ester mixtures being in a mole ratio of from 1:4 to 4: 1, respectively, and so controlled that the average chain length of the alkyl radicals in the final polymer is in the range indicated above.
  • esters of acrylic or methacrylic acid and technical lauryl alcohol which is a mixture of straight chain alcohols should not be considered as a mixture of two or more esters or that using such an ester would result .
  • a polymeric additive suitable for use in oil compositions of this invention since copolymers of lauryl (technical) methacrylate and a vinylpyridine will not have the required dissimilar alkyl chains or the average alkyl chain length which is an essential limitation that polymers of this invention should possess. Rather such copolymers function as simple copolymers and possess the limitations of such esters namely they function as pour point depressants only in specific oils, they tend to break down, form emulsion and cause corrosion.
  • terpolymers derived from a vinylpyridine and a mixture of lauryl methacrylate (derived from technical lauryl :alcohol) and octadecyl (stearyl) methacrylate form excellent pour point depressants of this invention.
  • any suitable method may be employed to make polymers of the present invention.
  • Factors which exert an influence on the molecular weight of thepolymer include the method of polymerization (e.g., polymerization in emulsion, suspension, solvent solution or bulk), the nature and concentration of the catalyst employed, the temperature, and nature and amount of the, monomers.
  • the molecular weight of the product will be lower when the dilution is stronger, i.e., when the concentration of solvent is greater. With the same catalyst, the higher polymerization temperature tends to give lower molecular weights.
  • Polymerization initiators that are particularly suited for use in preparing the claimed copolymers include various free radical yielding catalysts as peroxide.
  • catalysts such as, for example benzoyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, tertiary butyl .hydroperoxide, 2,2-bis(tertiary butyl peroxy) butane, di(terti'ary butyl) peroxide, tertiary butyl perlargonate, hydrogen peroxide, sodium or potassium persulfate, percarbonate, peracetic acid and the like.
  • Other suitable catalysts include sodium bisulfite, diethyl sulfoxide, azo compounds, such as alpha,alpha 'azodiisobutyronitrile and the like.
  • the amount of the initiator added may vary over a considerable range. In general, the amount of initiator added will vary from 0.1% to 5% by weight of the material being polymerized. Preferred amounts vary from 0.1% to 2% 'bjw'eight. v
  • the temperature selected will vary depending chiefly on the type of initiator selected, the desired rate of reaction and the molecular weight desired. Generally, the temperature will range from about 50 C. to C., and more preferably from 60 to 150 C. p
  • the polymerization may be conducted in the presence or absence of air. In most :cases, however, it has been found desirable to conduct the polymerization in the absenceof air, e.g., in the presence of an inert gas 'suc has nitrogen. Atmospheric, reduced or superatmospheric pressure may be employed. a I
  • any un'reacted monomer or monomers and/ or solvents may 'be removed, preferably "by distillation or by precipitation with apple priate solvents.
  • the mineral lubricating oils used in compositions of this invention can be obtained from any parafinic, naphthenic, asphaltic or mixed base crude, and/or mixtures thereof.
  • the viscosity of these oils may vary over a wide range, such as from 100 SUS at 100 F. to 100 SUS at 210 F.
  • the hydrocarbon oils may be blended with fixed oils such as castor oil, lard oil and the like and/ or with synthetic lubricants such as polymerized olefins, co-
  • polymers of alkylene 'glycols and alkylene oxides organic esters, e.g., Z-ethylhexyl sebacate, dioctyl polymers, e.'g.,

Description

United States LUBRICATIN G OIL COMPOSITIONS No Drawing. Application September '17, 1956 Serial No. 610,405
6 Claims. cl. 252-515 This invention relates to new and improved mineral oil lubricating compositions Containing a high molecular weight polymer which does not form ash, these lubricating compositions possessing particularly good pour point depressing properties.
Many lubricating oils, because of the nature of their Lsource and/or methods of refining, contain greater or lesser amounts of wax. Lubricating oils of this type are less desirable for many types of operations, particularly under cold operating conditions, such as those encountered in cold climates, this because they readily congeal. In order to overcome this defect in wax-containing lubricating oils, pour point depressants have to be employed with such oils. Among the best known additives for this purpose are the polymeric esters of the acrylic or alkacrylic, e.g. methacrylic, acids. Other known polymeric materials used for this purpose are the polymerized olefins, alkylated naphthalene and the like. I
Although the above-mentioned polymeric materials can efiectively reduce the pour point of some oils, they are restricted in use to some particular base oils; otherwise they are ineffective and impart certain undesirable properties to the final composition because: (a) they are corrosive, (b) they have the tendency to form emulsions when water or steam is present, and (c) they possess the tendency to break down at elevated temperatures.
It has now been discovered that an excellent pour point depressant which is effective in all mineral oils cornprises an oil-soluble polymeric compound of at least three polymerizable monomers one of them being a vinylpyridine and at least two dissimilar esters of acrylic acid and preferably methacrylic acid and dissimilar long chain aliphatic alcohols, these alcohols containing at least and not more than 20 carbon atoms and wherein the average chain length of these alkyl side chains (straight or branch-chain) in the ester mixture is in the C to C range and preferably in the C to C range. The mole ratio of the vinylpyridine to the polymerizable esters can vary from 1:2 to 1:10 and the dissimilar acrylate esters can vary in the mole ratio of 1:4 to 4:1. The final polymer should have a molecular weight varying from about fifty thousand to about two and one half million and preferably between 100,000 and '85 0,000 as determined by the light scattering method. More specifically, it has been found that terpolymers of a vinylpyridine and mixtures of esters of methacrylic acid and dissimilar aliphatic alcohols, as described above exhibit pour point depressant activity which is far greater than that of the corresponding copolymers of a vinylpyridine with a single ester of methacrylic acid and a long chain aliphatic alcohol.
[ The vinylpyridines used in making the polymers may be exemplified by 2-vinylpyridine, 3-vinylpyridine, 4- vinylpyridine, as well as the alkyl-substituted derivatives thereof, e.g. 2-methyl-5-vinylpyridine, 4-methyl-2-vinylpyridine, S-ethyI-Z-vinylpyridine and '2-butyl-5-vinylpyridine and the like.
pyridines include at least two dissimilar esters of acrylic latent O P The esters which can be polymerized with the vinyl-" Patented June 2, 1 959 or methacrylic acid and long chain aliphatic alcohols, e.g. decyl, dodecyl, tetradecyl, hexadecyl (or technical lauryl alcohol), octadecyl and eicosyl alcohols. Specific mixture combinations of these esters include dodecyl methacrylate/octadecyl methacrylate, tetradecyl acrylate/octadecyl methacrylate, decyl methacrylate/octadecyl methacrylate, tetradecyl methacrylate/hexadecyl methacrylate, technical lauryl methacrylate/octadecyl methacrylate, these ester mixtures being in a mole ratio of from 1:4 to 4: 1, respectively, and so controlled that the average chain length of the alkyl radicals in the final polymer is in the range indicated above. I v
An ester of acrylic or methacrylic acid and technical lauryl alcohol, which is a mixture of straight chain alcohols should not be considered as a mixture of two or more esters or that using such an ester would result .in a polymeric additive suitable for use in oil compositions of this invention since copolymers of lauryl (technical) methacrylate and a vinylpyridine will not have the required dissimilar alkyl chains or the average alkyl chain length which is an essential limitation that polymers of this invention should possess. Rather such copolymers function as simple copolymers and possess the limitations of such esters namely they function as pour point depressants only in specific oils, they tend to break down, form emulsion and cause corrosion. On the other hand, terpolymers derived from a vinylpyridine and a mixture of lauryl methacrylate (derived from technical lauryl :alcohol) and octadecyl (stearyl) methacrylate form excellent pour point depressants of this invention.
Any suitable method may be employed to make polymers of the present invention. Factors which exert an influence on the molecular weight of thepolymer include the method of polymerization (e.g., polymerization in emulsion, suspension, solvent solution or bulk), the nature and concentration of the catalyst employed, the temperature, and nature and amount of the, monomers. When the polymerization is accomplished in solution, the molecular weight of the product will be lower when the dilution is stronger, i.e., when the concentration of solvent is greater. With the same catalyst, the higher polymerization temperature tends to give lower molecular weights. Polymerization initiators that are particularly suited for use in preparing the claimed copolymers include various free radical yielding catalysts as peroxide. catalysts, such as, for example benzoyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, tertiary butyl .hydroperoxide, 2,2-bis(tertiary butyl peroxy) butane, di(terti'ary butyl) peroxide, tertiary butyl perlargonate, hydrogen peroxide, sodium or potassium persulfate, percarbonate, peracetic acid and the like. Other suitable catalysts include sodium bisulfite, diethyl sulfoxide, azo compounds, such as alpha,alpha 'azodiisobutyronitrile and the like. The amount of the initiator added may vary over a considerable range. In general, the amount of initiator added will vary from 0.1% to 5% by weight of the material being polymerized. Preferred amounts vary from 0.1% to 2% 'bjw'eight. v
The temperature selected will vary depending chiefly on the type of initiator selected, the desired rate of reaction and the molecular weight desired. Generally, the temperature will range from about 50 C. to C., and more preferably from 60 to 150 C. p
The polymerization may be conducted in the presence or absence of air. In most :cases, however, it has been found desirable to conduct the polymerization in the absenceof air, e.g., in the presence of an inert gas 'suc has nitrogen. Atmospheric, reduced or superatmospheric pressure may be employed. a I
- At the end of the polymerization, any un'reacted monomer or monomers and/ or solvents may 'be removed, preferably "by distillation or by precipitation with apple priate solvents.
The mineral lubricating oils used in compositions of this invention can be obtained from any parafinic, naphthenic, asphaltic or mixed base crude, and/or mixtures thereof. The viscosity of these oils may vary over a wide range, such as from 100 SUS at 100 F. to 100 SUS at 210 F. The hydrocarbon oils may be blended with fixed oils such as castor oil, lard oil and the like and/ or with synthetic lubricants such as polymerized olefins, co-
polymers of alkylene 'glycols and alkylene oxides, organic esters, e.g., Z-ethylhexyl sebacate, dioctyl polymers, e.'g.,
dimethyl silicone polymers and the like.
