[5 7] ABSTRACT Lubricating oils thickened to greases with aromatic polyamideimides and p0ly-4-phthalimide.
8 Claims, No Drawings GREASES TI-IICKENED WITH AROMATIC POLYAMIDE-IMIDES AND POLY-4-PHTHALIMIDE The invention herein described was made in the course of or under a contract with the Department of the Air Force.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to lubricating grease compositions in which the thickening agent is a polymeric material.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The lubricating greases of this invention comprise a lubricating fluid and a thermally stable polyamideimide or polyimide.
The present invention is based on the discovery that the herein-described finely-divided solid polymeric material, which is chemically unreactive with and insoluble in the lubricating fluid, can be dispersed in the lubricating fluid to form a homogeneous fluid/thickener system that is suitable for use as a lubricant grease.
Polyamides-imides and polyimides are well-known classes of thermally stable polymers having many uses, especially in fiber, film, coating and plastics industries. The present invention is limited to the use of these known classes of polymeric materials as grease-forming thickeners in lubricating fluids. Accordingly, the polymers per se and their preparation do not constitute any part of this invention.
The chemical composition and structure of these polymeric materials are not critical with respect to the present invention. The polymers may be formed from any combination of aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic monomers known in the art that will provide amido and imido linkages in the polyamide-imide or polyimide polymers; provided, however, the polymer contains at least 5 percent imido linkages in its chain. The only other limitation presently known is that the polymer be thermally stable at the temperature of intended use of the grease. Accordingly, the grease manufacturer has a broad spectrum of polymeric materials from which to choose.
The polymeric thickener is used in an amount sufficient to thicken the lubricating fluid and form the grease having the desired consistency or penetration.
.The amountis genrmbetween abouti and about 50 weight percent, usually between about 8 and about 30 weight percent, of the total composition.
The lubricating fluid component of the greases of this invention can be any normally liquid lubricating oil or fluid of natural or synthetic origin that is normally used in lubricant grease compositions. Illustrative of such oils are the conventional mineral lubricating oils and synthetic lubricating fluids or oils, such as silicone oils, fluorosilicone oils, polyether fluids, polyester fluids, polyfluoro fluids, etc., having viscosities within lubricating oil viscosity range.
The lubricant grease compositions of the present invention can contain, if desired, lubricant additives well known to the art without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, such greases can contain corrosion and/or rust inhibitors, E.P. agents, antioxidants, metal deactivators, stabilizers, anti-wear agents, and the like. The use of such additives and the amounts thereof depend upon the severity of the conditions to which the grease may be subjected.
The polymeric thickeners of this invention are finelydivided thermally stable solid materials which are inert and insoluble in the lubricating fluid. The term thermally stable means that the thickener does not melt or soften at grease operating temperatures.
The grease compositions are prepared by simply dispersing the solid polymeric thickener, in finely divided particulate form, such as a powder, in the fluid and then milling the dispersion mixture to the desired grease consistency. Any method of mixing that imparts shearing action may be used. Preferably, the conventional grease roll mill is used to form a grease having a stable consistency or penetration. The particle size of the thickener is not critical, but the particles should be as small as possible, since it is well known that the stability of the grease is dependent upon the particle size of the solid thickener. Inasmuch as the polymeric thickener is inert and insoluble in the lubricating fluid, it is to be understood that a plurality of passes through a roll mill and adjustment of fluid content are required to obtain homogenity of the solid thickener/fluid system and effect a stable consistency in the grease.
' The CRC L-35 bearing performance test was used to determine the performance of the exemplary grease formulations of this invention as bearing lubricants at elevated operating temperatures. At temperatures below 566 E, the size 234 test bearings were run in high speed test spindles at lOIIOUrpm in air, with a 5 pound radial load and a 5 pound axial load on the bearing,for 20 hours out of each 24 hour period until failure. In tests at or above 500 F, the test bearings, under a 50 pound radial load and a 25 pound axial load, were run continuously at the test temperature,
until failure. All tests at atmospheric pressure.

The commercial solution was diluted with N,N- dimethyl acetamide and precipitated in water and thoroughly washed with water. The powder solids were dried at a pressure o f a bout l5 Torr for f t hours a t SU C, followed by 2 hours at 200C. The dried powder was then used as the thickener.

Drying of the intermediate an ic acid solids to effect imi d i z ation was at a pressure of Torr for 2 hours at 200C. Preparation of the solid amic acid products is fully described in US. Pat.
