Definitions

  • Another object of this invention is to provide alkali metal soap-thickened greases which are substantially more recalcitrant to the attack by water than are comparable greases of the prior art.
  • Typical alcohols, diols and polyols include methanol, n-butanol, n-octanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol and sorbital, among others.
  • the average molecular weights as measured by the ebullioscopic method or calculated from viscosity measurements or acetyl values are between about 300 to about 15,000.
  • the favored copolymers usually contain from about 50 to 75 parts by weight of propoxy groups, and from about 25 to 50 parts by weight of ethoxy groups and have an average molecular weight of from about 1500 to about 10,000.
  • One of the preferred copolymers is sold by Retzloif Chemical Company of Houston, Tex., as DPG-lS. It contains about 75 to parts by weight of propoxy groups and from about 25 to 10 parts by weight of ethoxy groups.
  • novel copolymer additives are employed in an amount effective to substantially increase the resistance of the alkali metal soap-thickened grease to the attack by water. This amount will vary according to the additive employed, the degree of protection sought, the alkali metal soap contained in the grease, etc.
  • lithium soaps are used to thicken a mineral oil base and the preferred copolymers are derived from alkoxylation of di-, tri-, or polyhydroxylated compounds, from about 0.1 part by weight to 5.0 parts by weight of copolymer per hundred parts by weight of the finished grease represents the extremes of the polymer content.
  • a more useful range of about'0.l to 0.6 part by weight of copolymer produces greases which have good properties and consistently pass the water-resistance tests, and for this reason are preferred.
  • Alcohols as used herein not only refer to aliphatic compounds containing at least one free-hydroxyl group but which as1 can be seen from supra also includes diols, trials and p0 yols. i 2 While the polymeric compositions noted above are not novel per se, their utilization in small quantities (i.e., from 0.1 to 5.0% by weight of the total grease composition) as additives in grease to effect a substantial increase in the re sisting of the greases to water is believed to be novel.
  • alkoxylated adducts of alkylated phenols The second class of additives employed to provide improved water-resistance to alkali metal, particularly lithium, soap-thickened greases comprises alkylene oxide adducts of alkylated phenols.
  • the favored alkylene oxides are ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and their mixtures.
  • a favored group within the class are alkylated phenols wherein the alkyl group contains 5 to 15 carbon atoms, which have from 2 to 50 alkoxylate groups attached to the molecule.
  • the preferred additives within this class are ethoxylated phenols whose alkyl groups contain 6 to 10 carbon atoms and an average of 5 to ethoxylate groups per molecule.
  • Two of the preferred ethoxylated alkylated phenols are commercially available. One of these is a nonyl phenol ethoxylated with an average of 9.5 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of nonyl phenol.
  • the second phenolic adduct which is preferred is supplied by the Retzloif Company of Houston, Tex., and is designated as DRE-203.
  • the third class of additives which impart substantially improved water-resistance to greases refers to products formed by initially adding an alkylene oxide such as ethylene or propylene oxide to an alkylene diamine such as ethylene diamine (H NCH CH H N) to give the symmetrical tetrapropoxylated derivative followed by subsequent oxyethylation to a structure shown below:
  • x an integer ranging from 6 to 16.
  • the lubricating oils employed as the base fluids in this invention of prime interest are the natural (mineral) oils, or mixtures of one or more of these oils.
  • the mineral oils which can be used are those of paraflinic, naphthenic, asphaltic or parafiinic-asphaltic type derived from crude oils by refining processes including distillation, cracking and/or polymerization. These oils will have a gravity (API) of about 10 to 35, a viscosity within the range of 100 to 2000 SUS at 100 F. and flash points within the range of about 275 F. to 650 F. Generally a viscosity of from about 700 to 1400 SUS at 100 F. is favored.
  • the lubricating base oils preferred for the grease formulations are mineral oils of the paraflinic type having SUS viscosities at 210 F. in the range of about 75 to 95 and flash points in the range of about 450 F. to 600 F.
  • the above oils are preferred as bases for greases because they consistently produce greases having the desired enhanced resistance to water.
  • These adjuvants can be of diverse structure or origin and are typified by the following: extreme pressure (E.P.) agents such as the metallic naphthenates and sulfurized sperm oil, fillers such as the metal oxides, oxidation inhibitors including phenyl-beta-naphthylamine and the diphenyl amines, corrosion inhibitors including alkali metal nitrites, and stabilizers such as the fatty acid esters.
  • E.P. extreme pressure
