- Example 3 was a Group I base oil (having a kinematic viscosity at 100 0 C (ASTM D445) of approx. 32 mmVs) .
- Base oils 7-9 (all being Group I mineral base oils) have sulphur contents in the range 0.05 to 1.5 wt.% (according to ASTM D 2622) .
- Base oil 10 as used in Example 3 and Comparative Example 4 was a dimerate ester (having a kinematic viscosity at 100 0 C (ASTM D445) of approx. 13 mm 2 /s) , available front e.g. Croda (under the trade designation "Priolube 3985”) .
- the compositions of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were obtained by simply mixing the base oils with the additive package and pour point depressant ⁇ if present ⁇ .
- ASTM D2893 involves passing air at a fixed flow rate through an oil composition being held at an elevated temperature, such as 121°C or 150 0 C, for 321 hours.
- the oxidation resistance was assessed by measuring the resultant viscosity increase of the oil composition being held at said temperature. The lower the viscosity increase ⁇ as measured by ASTM D445) , the more oxidation resistant the oil composition is, an upper limit of acceptability of increase being 6%.
- Table 2 shows measured viscosity increases.
- Friction Coefficients Test (using an MTM ball-on-disc rig ⁇
- friction coefficient measurements were made on a mini traction machine (MTM, model 2) , available from PCS Instruments, United Kingdom.
- the test used a steel ball rolling and sliding on a steel disc.
- the ball was loaded against the face of the disc and the ball and disc were driven independently to create a mixed rolling/sliding contact.
- the frictional force between the ball and the disc was measured by a force transducer. Additional sensors measured the applied load, the lubricant temperature and (optionally) the electrical contact resistance between the specimens and the relative wear between them.
- the slide roll ratio was defined as defined as the ratio of sliding speed (Ubaii ⁇ Udisc) to entrainment speed (U baU + ⁇ disc ) /2.
- Example 1 The viscosity increase of the composition of Example 1 remained - contrary to those for Comparative Examples 1 and 2 - below the upper limit of 6% when tested at 150 0 C.
- compositions of Examples 1 and 3, containing a Fisher-Tropsch derived base oil were compared to commercially available premium PAO-based gear oil compositions ⁇ Comparative Examples 1, 2 and 4 ⁇ containing no Fischer-Tropsch derived base oil.
- Example 2 containing a Fischer-Tropsch derived base oil and a Group I mineral base oil
- Comparative Example 3 ⁇ containing Group I mineral base oils but no Fischer-Tropsch derived base oil
- Table 3 shows improved gear wear properties (thereby extending the lifetime of e.g. gears in the intended application ⁇ for Examples 2 and 3 according to the present invention when compared with Comparative Examples 3 and 4 respectively.
- Table 3 also shows lower friction coefficients ⁇ thereby reducing the energy need to operate e.g. the gears) for Example 2 according to the present invention when compared with Comparative Example 3.

Abstract
La présente invention concerne une composition lubrifiante comprenant une huile de base et un ou plusieurs additifs, l’huile de base comprenant une huile de base dérivée par un procédé de Fischer-Tropsch et la composition ayant une viscosité cinématique à 40 °C (selon la norme ASTM D445) supérieure à 150 mm2/s, de préférence supérieure à 180 mm2/s. La composition lubrifiante selon la présente invention peut être utilisée pour améliorer une ou plusieurs des propriétés suivantes : résistance à l’oxydation, formation de boues, réduction de l’usure et des frottements.
