Definitions
- This invention relates to low volatility lubricating compositions, particularly multigrade oils for crankcase lubrication of gasoline and diesel engines.
- Lubricating oils used in gasoline and diesel crankcases comprise a natural and/or synthetic basestock containing one or more additives to impart desired characteristics to the lubricant.
- additives typically include ashless dispersant, metal detergent, antioxidant and antiwear components, which may be combined in a package, sometimes referred to as a detergent inhibitor (or Dl) package.
- the additives in such a package may include functionalised polymers but these have relatively short chains, typically having a number average molecular weight Mn of not not more than 7000.
- Multigrade oils ususally also contain one or more viscosity modifiers (VM) which are longer chain polymers, which may be functionalised to provide other properties when they are known as multifunctional VMs (or MFVMs), but primarily act to improve the viscosity characteristics of the oil over the operating range.
- VM viscosity modifiers
- MFVMs multifunctional VMs
- the VM acts to increase viscosity at high temperature to provide more protection to the engine at high speeds, without unduly increasing viscosity at low temperatures which would otherwise make starting a cold engine difficult.
- High temperature performance is usually measured in terms of the kinematic viscosity (kV) at 100°C (ASTM D445), while low temperature performance is measured in terms of cold cranking simulator (CCS) viscosity (ASTM D5293, which is a revision of ASTM D2602).
- kV kinematic viscosity
- CCS cold cranking simulator
- Viscosity grades are defined by the SAE Classification system according to these two temperature measurements.
- SAE J300 defines the following grades: SAE VISCOSITY GRADES
- Multigrade oils meet the requirements of both low temperature and high temperature perfomance, and are thus identified by reference to both relevant grades.
- a 5W30 multigrade oil has viscosity characteristics that satisfy both the 5W and the 30 viscosity grade requirements - i.e. a maximum CCS viscosity of 3500.10- 3 Pa.s at -25°C, a minimum kV100°C of 9.3 mm 2 /s and a maximum kV100°C of ⁇ 12.5 mm 2 /s.

- Atactic propylene oligomer typically having Mn of from 700 to 5000 may also be used, as described in EP-A-490454, as well as heteropolymers such as polyepoxides.
- olefin polymers are polybutenes and specifically poly-n-butenes, such as may be prepared by polymerization of a C4 refinery stream.
- Other preferred classes of olefin polymers are EAO copolymers that preferably contain 1 to 50 mole% ethylene, and more preferably 5 to 48 mole% ethylene. Such polymers may contain more than one alpha-olefin and may contain one or more C3 to C22 diolefins. Also usable are mixtures of EAO's of varying ethylene content.

- the functional group typically will be polar and contain one or more hetero atoms such as P, 0, S, N, halogen, or boron. It can be attached to a saturated hydrocarbon part of the oil soluble polymeric hydrocarbon backbone via substitution reactions or to an olefinic portion via addition or cycloaddition reactions. Alternatively, the functional group can be incorporated into the polymer in conjunction with oxidation or cleavage of the polymer chain end (e.g., as in ozonolysis).
- Useful functionalization reactions include: halogenation of the polymer at an olefinic bond and subsequent reaction of the halogenated polymer with an ethylenically unsaturated functional compound (e.g., maleation where the polymer is reacted with maleic acid or anhydride); reaction of the polymer with an unsaturated functional compound by the "ene" reaction absent halogenation; reaction of the polymer with at least one phenol group (this permits derivatization in a Mannich base-type condensation); reaction of the polymer at a point of unsaturation with carbon monoxide using a Koch-type reaction to introduce a carbonyl group in an iso or neo position; reaction of the polymer with the functionalizing compound by free radical addition using a free radical catalyst; reaction with a thiocarboxylic acid derivative; and reaction of the polymer by air oxidation methods, epoxidation, chloroamination, or ozonolysis.

- a particularly useful class of amines are the polyamido and related amido-amines as disclosed in US 4,857,217; 4,956,107; 4,963,275; and 5,229,022.
- THAM tris(hydroxymethyl)amino methane
- Dendrimers, star-like amines, and comb-structure amines may also be used.
- the functionalized oil soluble polymeric hydrocarbon backbones also may be derivatized with hydroxy compounds such as monohydric and polyhydric alcohols or with aromatic compounds such as phenols and naphthols.
- Polyhydric alcohols are preferred, e.g., alkylene glycols in which the alkylene radical contains from 2 to 8 carbon atoms.
- Other useful polyhydric alcohols include glycerol, mono-oleate of glycerol, monostearate of glycerol, monomethyl ether of glycerol, pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol, and mixtures thereof.
- An ester dispersant may also be derived from unsaturated alcohols such as allyl alcohol, cinnamyl alcohol, propargyl alcohol, 1-cyclohexane-3-ol, and oleyl alcohol.
- unsaturated alcohols such as allyl alcohol, cinnamyl alcohol, propargyl alcohol, 1-cyclohexane-3-ol, and oleyl alcohol.
- Still other classes of the alcohols capable of yielding ashless dispersants comprise the ether-alcohols and including, for example, the oxy-alkylene, oxy-arylene. They are exemplified by ether-alcohols having up to 150 oxy-alkylene radicals in which the alkylene radical contains from 1 to 8 carbon atoms.
- the ester dispersants may be di-esters of succinic acids or acidic esters, i.e., partially esterified succinic acids; as well as partially esterified polyhydric alcohols or phenols, i.e., esters having free alcohols or phenolic hydroxyl radicals.
- An ester dispersant may be prepared by one of several known methods as illustrated, for example, in US 3,381 ,022.
- a preferred group of ashless dispersants includes those substituted with succinic anhydride groups and reacted with polyethylene amines (e.g., tetraethylene pentamine), aminoalcohols such as trismethylolaminomethane and optionally additional reactants such as alcohols and reactive metals e.g., pentaerythritol, and combinations thereof). Also useful are dispersants wherein a polyamine is attached directly to the backbone by the methods shown in US 3,275,554 and 3,565,804 where a halogen group on a halogenated hydrocarbon is displaced with various alkylene polyamines.
- polyethylene amines e.g., tetraethylene pentamine
- aminoalcohols such as trismethylolaminomethane
- additional reactants such as alcohols and reactive metals e.g., pentaerythritol, and combinations thereof.

- Mannich base condensation products are prepared by condensing about one mole of an alkyl-substituted mono- or polyhydroxy benzene with about 1 to 2.5 moles of carbonyl compounds (e.g., formaldehyde and paraformaldehyde) and about 0.5 to 2 moles polyalkylene polyamine as disclosed, for example, in US 3,442,808.
- carbonyl compounds e.g., formaldehyde and paraformaldehyde
- Such Mannich condensation products may include a polymer product of a metallocene cataylsed polymerisation as a substituent on the benzene group or may be reacted with a compound containing such a polymer substituted on a succinic anhydride, in a mannersimilar to that shown in US 3,442,808.
- the dispersant can be further post-treated by a variety of conventional post treatments such as boration, as generally taught in US 3,087,936 and 3,254,025.
- This is readily accomplished by treating an acyl nitrogen- containing dispersant with a boron compound selected from the group consisting of boron oxide, boron halides, boron acids and esters of boron acids, in an amount to provide from about 0.1 atomic proportion of boron for each mole of the acylated nitrogen composition to about 20 atomic proportions of boron for each atomic proportion of nitrogen of the acylated nitrogen composition.
- the dispersants contain from about 0.05 to 2.0 wt. %, e.g. 0.05 to 0.7 wt.
- % boron based on the total weight of the borated acyl nitrogen compound.
- the boron which appears be in the product as dehydrated boric acid polymers (primarily (HB ⁇ 2)3), is believed to attach to the dispersant imides and diimides as amine salts e.g., the metaborate salt of the diimide. Boration is readily carried out by adding from about 0.05 to 4, e.g., 1 to 3 wt.
- boron compound preferably boric acid, usually as a slurry
- the boron treatment can be carried out by adding boric acid to a hot reaction mixture of the dicarboxylic acid material and amine while removing water.
- the viscosity modifier used in the invention functions to impart high and low temperature operability to a lubricating oil.
- the VM used may have that sole function, or may be multifunctional.
- Multifunctional viscosity modifiers that also function as dispersants are also known and may be prepared as described above for ashless dispersants.
- the oil soluble polymeric hydrocarbon backbone will usually have a M n of from 20,000, more typically from 20,000 up to 500,000 or greater.
- these dispersant viscosity modifiers are functionalized polymers (e.g. inter polymers of ethylene-propylene post grafted with an active monomer such as maleic anhydride) which are then derivatized with, for example, an alcohol or amine.
- Suitable compounds for use as monofunctional viscosity modifiers are generally high molecular weight hydrocarbon polymers, including polyesters.
- Oil soluble viscosity modifying polymers generally have weight average molecular weights of from about 10,000 to 1 ,000,000, preferably 20,000 to 500,000, which may be determined by gel permeation chromatography (as described above) or by light scattering.
- suitable viscosity modifiers are polyisobutylene, copolymers of ethylene and propylene and higher alpha- olefins, polymethacrylates, polyalkylmethacrylates, methacrylate copolymers, copolymers of an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid and a vinyl compound, inter polymers of styrene and acrylic esters, and partially hydrogenated copolymers of styrene/ isoprene, styrene/butadiene, and isoprene/butadiene, as well as the partially hydrogenated homopolymers of butadiene and isoprene and isoprene/divinylbenzene. 13
- the viscosity modifier can be chosen from any of the above categories of additive in such an amount to obtain the multigrade viscosity requirements of the oil of the invention. It is preferably a polyisobutylene or copolymer of ethylene and propylene or higher alpha-olefin, as such viscosity modifiers are particularly economic and effective. However to obtain oils having a particularly high shear stability a highly shear stable viscosity modifier having an SSI of 5 or less may be used and such viscosity modifiers include in particular hydrogenated polyisoprene star polymers and hydrogenated styrene-isoprene block copolymers. An example of commercially available viscosity modifers of this type is the family of products sold by Shell International Chemical Co. Limited as their ShellvisTM 200 series.
- the viscosity modifier used in any aspect of the invention will be used in an amount to give the required viscosity characteristics. Since they are typically used in the form of oil solutions the amount of additive employed will depend on the concentration of polymer in the oil solution comprising the additive. However by way of illustration, typical oli solutions of polymer used as VMs are used in amount of from 1 to 30% of the blended oil.
- the amount of VM as active ingredient of the oil is generally from 0.01 to 6 wt%, and more. preferably from 0.1 to 2 wt%.
- Additional additives are typically incorporated into the compositions of the present invention.
- additives are metal or ash- containing detergents, antioxidants, anti-wear agents, friction modifiers, rust inhibitors, anti-foaming agents, demulsifiers, and pour point depressants.
- Metal-containing or ash-forming detergents function both as detergents to reduce or remove deposits and as acid neutralizers or rust inhibitors, thereby reducing wear and corrosion and extending engine life.
- Detergents generally comprise a polar head with a long hydrophobic tail, with the polar head comprising a metal salt of an acidic organic compound.
- the salts may contain a substantially stoichiometric amount of the metal in which case they are usually described as normal or neutral salts, and would typically have a total base number or TBN (as may be measured by ASTM D2896) of from 0 to 80. It is possible to include large amounts of a metal base by reacting an excess of a metal compound such as an oxide or hydroxide with an acidic gas such as carbon dioxide.
- the resulting overbased detergent comprises neutralised detergent as the outer layer of a metal base (e.g. carbonate) micelle.
- Such overbased detergents may have a TBN of 150 or greater, and typically of from 250 to 450 or more.
- Detergents that may be used include oil-soluble neutral and overbased sulfonates, phenates, sulfurized phenates, thiophosphonates, salicylates, and naphthenates and other oil-soluble carboxylates of a metal, particularly the alkali or alkaline earth metals, e.g., sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, and magnesium.
- a metal particularly the alkali or alkaline earth metals, e.g., sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, and magnesium.
- the most commonly used metals are calcium and magnesium, which may both be present in detergents used in a lubricant, and mixtures of calcium and/or magnesium with sodium.
- Particularly convenient metal detergents are neutral and overbased calcium sulfonates having TBN of from 20 to 450 TBN, and neutral and overbased calcium phenates and sulfurized phenates having TBN of from 50 to 450.
- Sulfonates may be prepared from sulfonic acids which are typically obtained by the sulfonation of alkyl substituted aromatic hydrocarbons such as those obtained from the fractionation of petroleum or by the alkylation of aromatic hydrocarbons. Examples included those obtained by alkylating benzene, toluene, xylene, naphthalene, diphenyl or their halogen derivatives such as chlorobenzene, chlorotoluene and chloronaphthalene.
- the alkylation may be carried out in the presence of a catalyst with alkylating agents having from about 3 to more than 70 carbon atoms.
- the alkaryl sulfonates usually contain from about 9 to about 80 or more carbon atoms, preferably from about 16 to about 60 carbon atoms per alkyl substituted aromatic moiety.
- the oil soluble sulfonates or alkaryl sulfonic acids may be neutralized with oxides, hydroxides, alkoxides, carbonates, carboxylate, sulfides, hydrosulfides, nitrates, borates and ethers of the metal.
- the amount of metal compound is chosen having regard to the desired TBN of the final product but typically ranges from about 100 to 220 wt % (preferably at least 125 wt %) of that stoichiometrically required.
- Metal salts of phenols and sulfurised phenols are prepared by reaction with an appropriate metal compound such as an oxide or hydroxide and neutral or overbased products may be obtained by methods well known in the art.
- Sulfurised phenols may be prepared by reacting a phenol with sulfur or a sufur containing compound such as hydrogen sulfide, sulfur monohalide or sulfur dihalide, to form products which are generally mixtures of compounds in which 2 or more phenols are bridged by sulfur containing bridges.
- Dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphate metal salts are frequently used as anti- wear and antioxidant agents.
- the metal may be an alkali or alkaline earth metal, or aluminum, lead, tin, molybdenum, manganese, nickel or copper.
- the zinc salts are most commonly used in lubricating oil in amounts of 0.1 to 10, preferably 0.2 to 2 wt. %, based upon the total weight of the lubricating oil composition. They may be prepared in accordance with known techniques by first forming a dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphoric acid (DDPA), usually by reaction of one or more alcohol or a phenol with P2S5 and then neutralizing the formed DDPA with a zinc compound.
- DDPA dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphoric acid
- a dithiophosphoric acid may be made by reacting mixtures of primary and secondary alcohols.
- multiple dithiophosphoric acids can be prepared where the hydrocarbyl groups on one are entirely secondary in character and the hydrocarbyl groups on the others are entirely primary in character.
- zinc salt any basic or neutral zinc compound could be used but the oxides, hydroxides and carbonates are most generally employed.
- the preferred zinc dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphates are oil soluble salts of dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphoric acids and may be represented by the following formula:
- R and R' may be the same or different hydrocarbyl radicals containing from 1 to 18, preferably 2 to 12, carbon atoms and including radicals such as alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, arylalkyl, alkaryl and cycloaliphatic radicals. Particularly preferred as R and R' groups are alkyl groups of 2 to 8 carbon atoms.
- the radicals may, for example, be ethyl, n-propyl, i- propyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, sec-butyl, amyl, n-hexyl, i-hexyl, n-octyl, decyl, dodecyl, octadecyl, 2-ethylhexyl, phenyl, butylphenyl, cyclohexyl, methylcyclopentyl, propenyl, butenyl.
- the total number of carbon atoms (i.e. R and R') in the dithiophosphoric acid will generally be about 5 or greater.
- the zinc dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphate can therefore comprise zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates. Conveniently at least 50 (mole) % of the alcohols used to introduce hydrocarbyl groups into the dithiophosphoric acids are secondary alcohols.
- Oxidation inhibitors or antioxidants reduce the tendency of mineral oils to deteriorate in service which deterioration can be evidenced by the products of oxidation such as sludge and varnish-like deposits on the metal surfaces and by viscosity growth.
- oxidation inhibitors include hindered phenols, alkaline earth metal salts of alkylphenolthioesters having preferably C5 to C-
- Typical oil soluble aromatic amines having at least two aromatic groups attached directly to one amine nitrogen contain from 6 to 16 carbon atoms.
- the amines may contain more than two aromatic groups.
- the aromatic rings are typically substituted by one or more substituents selected from alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy, acyl, acylamino, hydroxy, and nitro groups.
- Friction modifiers may be included to improve fuel economy.
- Oil- soluble alkoxylated mono- and diamines are well known to improve boundary layer lubrication.
- the amines may be used as such or in the form of an adduct or reaction product with a boron compound such as a boric oxide, boron halide, metaborate, boric acid or a mono-, di- or trialkyl borate.
- esters formed by reacting carboxylic acids and anhydrides with alkanols are known, Among these are esters formed by reacting carboxylic acids and anhydrides with alkanols.
- Other conventional friction modifiers generally consist of a polar terminal group (e.g. carboxyl or hydroxyl) covalently bonded to an oleophillic hydrocarbon chain.
- Esters of carboxylic acids and anhydrides with alkanols are described in US 4,702,850. Examples of other conventional friction modifiers are described by M. Belzer in the “Journal of Tribology” (1992), Vol. 1 14, pp. 675-682 and M. Belzer and S. Jahanmir in “Lubrication Science” (1988), Vol. 1 , pp. 3-26.
- Rust inhibitors selected from the group consisting of nonionic polyoxyalkylene polyols and esters thereof, polyoxyalkylene phenols, and anionic alkyl sulfonic acids may be used.
- Copper and lead bearing corrosion inhibitors may be used, but are typically not required with the formulation of the present invention.
- such compounds are the thiadiazole polysulfides containing from 5 to 50 carbon atoms, their derivatives and polymers thereof.
- Derivatives of 1 ,3,4 thiadiazoles such as those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,719,125; 2,719,126; and 3,087,932; are typical.
- Other similar materials are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,821 ,236; 3,904,537; 4,097,387; 4, 107,059; 4, 136,043; 4,188,299; and 4,193,882.
- additives are the thio and polythio sulfenamides of thiadiazoles such as those described in UK. Patent Specification No. 1 ,560,830. Benzotriazoles derivatives also fall within this class of additives. When these compounds are included in the lubricating composition, they are preferrably present in an amount not exceding 0.2 wt % active ingredient.
- a small amount of a demulsifying component may be used.
- a preferred demulsifying component is described in EP 330,522. It is obtained by reacting an alkylene oxide with an adduct obtained by reacting a bis- epoxide with a polyhydric alcohol.
- the demulsifier should be used at a level not exceeding 0.1 mass % active ingredient. A treat rate of 0.001 to 0.05 mass % active ingredient is convenient.
- Pour point depressants otherwise known as lube oil flow improvers, lower the minimum temperature at which the fluid will flow or can be poured.
- Such additives are well known. Typical of those additives which improve the low temperature fluidity of the fluid are Cs to C-j ⁇ dialkyl fumarate/vinyl acetate copolymers and polyalkylmethacrylates.
- Foam control can be provided by many compounds including an antifoamant of the polysiloxane type, for example, silicone oil or polydimethyl siloxane.
- an antifoamant of the polysiloxane type for example, silicone oil or polydimethyl siloxane.
- Some of the above-mentioned additives can provide a multiplicity of effects; thus for example, a single additive may act as a dispersant-oxidation inhibitor. This approach is well known and does not require further elaboration.
- each additive is typically blended into the base oil in an amount which enables the additive to provide its desired function.
- Representative effective amounts of such additives, when used in crankcase lubricants, are listed below. All the values listed are stated as mass percent active ingredient.
- Viscosity Modifier 0.01- 6 0 - 4
- each of the components may be incorporated into a base oil in any convenient way.
- each of the components can be added directly to the oil by dispersing or dissolving it in the oil at the desired level of concentration. Such blending may occur at ambient temperature or at an elevated temperature.
- the additives except for the viscosity modifier and the pour point depressant are blended into a concentrate or additive package described herein as the detergent inhibitor package, that is subsequently blended into basestock to make finished lubricant.
- a concentrate or additive package described herein as the detergent inhibitor package that is subsequently blended into basestock to make finished lubricant.
- Use of such concentrates is conventional.
- the concentrate will typically be formulated to contain the additive(s) in proper amounts to provide the desired concentration in the final formulation when the concentrate is combined with a predetermined amount of base lubricant.
- the concentrate is made in accordance with the method described in US 4,938,880. That patent describes making a premix of ashless dispersant and metal detergents that is pre-blended at a temperature of at least about 100°C. Thereafter the pre-mix is cooled to at least 85°C and the additional components are added.
- the final formulations may employ from 2 to 15 mass % and preferably 5 to 10 mass %, typically about 7 to 8 mass % of the concentrate or additive package with the remainder being base oil.
- a series of multigrade crankcase lubricating oils meeting API SH/CD specifications were prepared from a mixture of a non-conventional lubricant, a hydrocracked basestock commercially available as Shell XHVI5.7 (comprising 20 mass% of the oil), and one or more mineral basestocks, a detergent inhibitor package (Dl package) containing an ashless dispersant, ZDDP, antioxidant, metal-containing detergents, friction modifier, demulsifier, and an antifoam agent, and a separate viscosity modifier and pour point depressant.
- Dl package detergent inhibitor package
- EBCO/PAM polyamine and borated
- the EBCO/PAM ashless dispersants was used at a lower treat rate (2.4 mass%) to that used for PIBSA/PAM, since the better dispersant performance of the former means that a smaller quantity is required to achieve adequate performance.
- the kV100°C and CCS viscosity at -20°C for each oil was measured, and the average basestock neutral number (ave. BSNN) determined from the formula:
- BSRn basestock ratio for basestock n
- 1.0CP an oil solution of an ethylene propylene copolymer having a shear stability index of 25.
- HPI a hydrogenated polyisoprene VM available from Shell International Chemical Co. Limited as Shellvis 201.
- the Examples of the invention show that an oil can be prepared using less ashless dispersant, less VM, whether OCP or the more shear stable hydrogenated polyisoprene, and with no light neutral basestock (130N) while meeting the viscosity limits for 10W40 viscosity grade oils and having reduced volatility.
- TLA an oil solution of an ethylene propylene copolymer with SSI of 25, commercially available from Texaco Chemical Limited as TLA347E.
