Definitions

  • lubricants depending on the conditions under which they are used, are more or less subject to contamination, either by the formation of deleterious products in the lubricating system itself or by substances entering the lubricating system from outside. These contaminations may cause many kinds of disturbances, e.g., as a result of the formation of deposits.
  • This problem arises in particular in the lubrication of combustion engines, such as gasoline engines and diesel engines.
  • the increasing fouling of the motor oil is in this case chiefly due to incomplete combustion of the fuel and oxidation of the lubricating oil.
  • the resultant contaminations are partly insoluble and may, therefore, deposit in the crank case, oil lines and the like in the form of sludge, and/or on pistons and cylinders and even in piston ring grooves in the form of lacquer, so that these rings will eventually stick.
  • peptizing agents oil-soluble neutral or basic organic metal compounds such as calcium, barium or Zinc salts of petroleum sulfonic acids, of alkylated hydroxy benzoic acids, and others.
  • metal salts may, however, lead to disturbances, particularly in Zero engines, as they may cause deposits in the combustion space and thus result in a tendency to detonation.
  • Increasing attention is, therefore, being directed to the use of non-ash-forming lubricant additives which contain no metal and are consequently free from the drawbacks thereof.
  • the non-ash-forming lubricant additives with detergent effect heretofore proposed are generally copolymer compounds prepared from (A) an olefinic unsaturated monomer having an oleophilic group such as lauryl methacrylate, and (B) an oiefinic unsaturated monomer containing a suitable polar group, e.g., diethylamino ethyl methacrylate, N-vinyl-alpha-pyrrolidone, Z-methyl-S-vinyl pyridine, esters of methacrylic acid and polypolar alcohols, e.g., beta-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate and the like.
  • a suitable polar group e.g., diethylamino ethyl methacrylate, N-vinyl-alpha-pyrrolidone, Z-methyl-S-vinyl pyridine
  • esters of methacrylic acid and polypolar alcohols e.g., beta-hydroxy

  • the telomers are believed to be represented essentially by the formula:
  • telomeric polymer is at least 1200, and up to 20,000, preferably between 2000 and 10,000.
  • telomeric nitro-benzene/stearyl methacrylate polymer effects detergency to a greater extent even than basic aminoor amide-containing polymers such as commercially available copolymers of lauryl methacrylate and diethylaminoethyl methacrylate and copolymers of lauryl methacrylate and vinyl pyrrolidone.
  • the olefinic unsaturated monomers A used for the production of the telomers may be homopolymerized by means of the C C double bond or copolyrnerized with one or more suitable B monomers.
  • Their structure may be represented by the following general formula:

  • the said oleophilic group R contains at least 8 carbon atoms, and preferably 12-20 carbon atoms.
  • oleophilic groups are here meant substituents whose presence solutilizes the telomer molecules in hydrocarbon media.
  • the said oleophilic groups contain or entirely consist of cyclic and/ or acyclic hydrocarbon radicals having at least 8 carbon atoms.
  • polar groups and/ or hetero-atoms may also occur in the oleophilic groups, provided their presence does not result in the telomer becoming insoluble in oil.
  • oleophilic groups include cyclic hydrocarbon radicals among which may be mentioned, for example, alkaryl groups, particularly alkylphenyl groups such as the p-octylphenyl group.
  • Acyclic hydrocarbon radicals are also important, preferably branched or unbranched aliphatic hydrocarbon chains such as diisobutyl, dodecyl, tetradecyl and hexadecyl groups.
  • the oleophilic groups may also contain polar groups,
  • oleophilic groups represented by such groups as and -CH O-R in which R represents a substituted or non-substituted hydrocarbon radical.
  • the R group is generally a cyclic or acyclic hydrocarbon radical, which may or may not be substituted by polar groups and/or heteroatoms, although a branched or unbranched alkyl group such as the lauryl, triisobutyl, hexadec'yl and stearyl group is preferred.
  • Suitable A monomers include olefins, particularly such alpha-olefins as decene and cetene; styrene derivatives, such as aralkyl styrenes, e.g., para-octyl styrene and ardodecyl alpha-methyl styrene; ethers such as propenyl 2-ethyihexyl ethers and vinyl octadecyl ether; esters of alkenols and carboxylic acids, preferably aliphatic carboxylic acids, e.g., vinyl stearate, allyl palmitate and methallyl oleate; esters of unsaturated acids and alcohols derived from such acids as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, the crotonic acids, citraconic acid and cinnamic acid, e.g., lauryl and stearyl (meth)
  • the monomer (A) is an alkyl ester of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid.
  • Lauryl methacrylate and stearyl methacrylate have been found particularly suitable, although in a very advantageous embodiment of the invention use is made of mixtures of lauryl methacrylate and stearyl methacrylate for example, since the lubricating oil additives produced therewith act as pour point depressants with regard to the unmixed components.
  • a large number of comparatively divergent types of possible monomers are suitable for this purpose.
  • the structure which all these various types of monomers should satisfy may be represented by the following general formula:
  • R and R are hydrogen atoms or methyl groups.
  • R; and R may be hydrogen atoms or hydrocarbon radicals or polar substituents containing not more than 7 garbon atoms.
  • the hydrocarbon radicals may be cyclic and/ or acyclic, e.g., tolyl, cyclohexyl, benzyl as well as branched or unbranched alkyl and alkenyl groups such as methyl.
  • polar substituents are herein meant non-metallic atoms of groups V to VII of the periodic table, e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, sulfur and chlorine, in particular nitrogen and oxygen, or groups containing such atoms; the said atoms and groups may or may not form part of or be bound to hydrocarbon radicals.
  • Suitable substituents of this type are represented by the group groups.
  • Suitable (B) monomers according to the invention include olefins, e.g., propylene, 1- or Z-butylene, diisobutylene and others, and aromatic hydrocarbons such as styrene, although use is preferably made of acids, e.g., maleic acid or the anhydride thereof, particularly methacrylic acid; of alcohols such as allyl alcohol; of pyridine derivatives such as 2-methyl-5-vinyl pyridine, and of pyrrolidone derivatives such as N-vinyl-alpha-pyrrolidone.

  • pyridine derivatives such as 2-methyl-5-vinyl pyridine
  • Esters and amides of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid, ethers and esters of phenols such as vinyl alcohol and allyl alcohol, e.g., vinyl acetate, are also suitable.
  • Esters having such groups as in which the R substituent contains one or more hydroxyl and/or amino groups, have also been found particularly valuable. Use is preferably made of beta-hydroxy-ethyl methacrylate and beta-di-ethyl amino ethyl methacrylate.
  • polar groups may be introduced on completion of the telomerization or polar groups already present may be changed, for example, by hydrolysis of O-acyl groups to hydroxyl groups.
  • the telomer group according to the invention is produced by polymerizing or copolymerizing together with one or more B monomers one or more A monomers in the presence of a telomeric agent such as an aromatic nitro-compound, e.g., nitro-benzene.
  • a telomeric agent such as an aromatic nitro-compound, e.g., nitro-benzene.

  • An example is 4-diethy1 amino-1,3-dinitrobenzene, although preferance is given to monocyclic aromatic nitro compounds such as nitrated benzene derivatives, which may or may not be alkylated. Examples are dinitrobenzene, nitrotoluenes and others. A very suitable nitro compound is nitrobenzene.
  • the telomerization agent is generally employed in excess, it being possible to use an inert solvent (for example, a lubricating oil). It has, however, been found advan tageous to use the telomerization agent simultaneously as a solvent.
  • an inert solvent for example, a lubricating oil
  • the excess products by means of distillation, with or without (superheated) steam, the telomer reaction product may, however, also be isolated in another manner, for example, by precipitating it in a polar solvent such as methanol.
  • the telomerization may be carried out not only in solution but in special cases also in emulsion or suspension.
  • the telomerization is carried out in the presence of an initiator, viz. a radical source such as benzoyl peroxide, tertiary butyl hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide, azodiisobutyric nitrile and other substances conventionally employed for this purpose.
