Description
Composition comprising 2 -a Iky I carboxylic acid salts and use thereof as anti-corrosion additive
Introduction
The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least a 2-alkyl carboxylic acids salts and an oil component. Further the use of 2-alkyl carboxylic acids salts as anti-corrosion additive is disclosed such as in aqueous metal working fluids.
Background of the Invention
In the past one of the most commonly used acids for the purpose of providing anti- corrosion properties in metalworking fluid formulations was boric acid. Boric acid is an easily available and cheap compound. In recent years however, boric acid came under attack as a potential hazard to human, animal and plant health. The compound was subsequently classified as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) by the EU. A need therefore exists in the marketplace to find alternatives for boric acid.
Carboxylic acids and carboxylic acid salts are widely used in metalworking fluids, biofuels and general lubricant application for a great variety of very different purposes depending on the structure such as emollients, anticorrosion additives, raw materials for esters, coupling agents, antimicrobial agent (see EP 0742004 B1 or DE 19516705 A1 ), and detergency and lubricity improvers.
Carboxylic acid salts including long carbon chain carboxylic acid salts are compounds obtained by the neutralisation of the corresponding organic acids with, for example, amines, alkanolamines or sodium compounds. The organic acids may comprise linear, branched, cyclic or aromatic hydrocarbyl groups. US 5507861 for example teaches the use of odd-numbered, monocarboxylic acids in corrosion inhibiting compositions.

US 2001/0056046 A1 discloses compositions for corrosion protection comprising amongst others straight or branched chain carboxylic acids having 6 to 10 carbon atoms, an emulsifier comprising fatty alcohol alkoxylates and an oil component. Specifically named is isodecanonic acid, which is no 2-alkyl branched carboxylic acid.
WO 03/080895 A teaches corrosion inhibiting salts of the formula
R1-C-R3-COOH
wherein R1 and R2 are independently hydrocarbyl groups; R3 is an alkylene group and the total number of carbon atoms in R1, R2 and R3 is from 3 to 20 carbon atoms. Carboxylic acids having 10 or 11 carbon atoms with a single alkyl branch at the carbon adjacent to the carboxylic acid group are not disclosed and instead the focus of the application is on multiply branched carboxylic acid salt and those hav- ing quaternary carbons. Specifically mentioned are only neononanoic acid and ne- odecanoic acid.
There exists, however, a continuing need to develop corrosion inhibitors that are superior to the well-known corrosion inhibitors in particular in aqueous composi- tions for metalworking, lubricants or fuels.
Summary of the Invention
The object of the present invention is to provide compositions for metalworking flu- ids, lubricants and fuels as lubricity, emulsification, detergency and anticorrosion. In particular, this invention relates to compositions comprising neutralised or partially neutralised 2-alkyl branched carboxylic acids comprising in total 10 or 11 carbon atoms and their uses as lubricity improver, anticorrosion additive, emollient, and/or detergency improver.
The present invention is defined by the subject matter of the independent claims. Preferred embodiments are subject matter of the dependent claims or disclosed herein below.
The composition according to the invention comprises
(a) at least one 2-alkyl branched carboxylic acid having in total 10 or 11 carbon atoms partially or completely neutralised by a neutralising agent and
(b) an oil component
wherein the ratio (weight/weight) between (a), calculated as 2-alkyl branched carboxylic acid, and (b) is 1 to 2 and higher and preferably is between 1 to 4 and 1 : 200.
2-alkyl branched carboxylic acids comprise only one branching. The alkyl group is a methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl group. Preferred are 2-alkyl branched carboxylic acids salts that are mixtures of the respective salts with at least three of the following alkyl groups: methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl branches.
The 2-alkyl branched carboxylic acids of the present invention may be used in mix- tures comprising also linear fatty acid salts. It was surprisingly found that compositions comprising 2-alkyl-branched carboxylic acid salts with 10 or 11 carbon atoms exhibit significantly enhanced anticorrosion and wetting abilities when compared to the state of the art linear carbon chain fatty acid salts. The specific nature of the branching of the carbon chains described for the compounds illustrated by the invention was shown to provide a significant benefit.
The compounds described for the current invention contain 2-alkyl branching, or mixtures of these branched compounds together with linear compounds, with no quaternary carbons present. This property provides specific advantages with regard to biodegradability.
The compounds disclosed in the invention also perform significantly better with regard to corrosion inhibition when compared to the current state of the art linear and geminally-branched fatty acid salts. Furthermore, it was surprisingly found that the compositions of the invention provide enhanced corrosion inhibition properties even in neutral pH environments such as pH 7 to 8.
The compositions described herein can contain no or little amounts of water (con- centrates) or after dilution substantial amounts of water.
According to one embodiment the composition comprises
(a) 0.05 to 5 weight %, preferably 0.5 to 2.5 weight %, of the partially or completely neutralised 2-alkyl branched carboxylic acid;
(b) 1 to 15 wt.%, preferably 2 to 10 wt.%, of the oil component; and
(c) 70 to 99 wt.%, preferably 85 to 98 wt.%, water.
In case the 2-alkyl carboxylic acids (or their salts) are mixed with linear or mid- chain branched carboxylic acids (or their salts), such as C8- to C22- fatty acids, the 2-alkyl branched carboxylic acids represent from 40 to 00 weight percent of the total mixture, each calculated relative to the carboxylic acid.
The fatty acids or fatty acid mixtures are neutralised by neutralising agents such as amines, alkanolamines and caustic compounds. The neutralising agent is selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal or an amine, including an alka- nol amine or an alkane amine, and mixtures thereof. Partially means for example that that more than 90% or more than 98% of the acid groups are neutralized.
The compounds described by the present invention do not contain any quaternary carbons, which leads to the added advantage of good biodegradability properties above the prior art compounds such as neodecanoic acid salts.
The compounds were surprisingly found to display excellent anticorrosion behaviour in a pH environment between 7 and 11 , particularly and unexpectedly in the neutral pH range, as well as enhanced wetting properties when compared to the state of the art.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following experimental part. Experimental Part

The following - non-limiting examples and results will illustrate the preparation and test methods followed and demonstrate the advantages obtained.
Anti-corrosion behaviour:
The test method DIN 51360 part 2 was used for all examples to determine the anti-corrosion behaviour of the different acid salt solutions.
Examples 1 to 5 are conducted without the oil component to provide test results of the anti-corrosion additive as such (salt of ISOCARB 11) and uninfluenced by the oil component. Nevertheless, the same general properties are observed by a com¬ position comprising the 2-alkyl branched carboxylic acid having in total 10 or 11 carbon atoms, partially or completely neutralised by a neutralising agent, together with the oil component.
Example 1 : The acids evaluated (see table 2) were neutralised to a pH value of 8 with mo- noethanolamine (MEA) to form the corresponding active salts. Hard water (see preparation method in DIN 51360 part 2) was used to prepare dilutions of 2 weight %. Dry-turned grey cast iron flakes were put on a circular filter paper and soaked with 2 ml of the diluted sample solution. After 2 hours, the corrosion grade on the filter paper was evaluated according to the guidelines provided in the test method (DIN 51360 part 2).

ISOCARB 11 (branched) 2 8 0
Undecanoic acid (linear) 2 8 2 It is clear that, under pH 8 conditions, the solutions containing the 2-alkyl branched carbon chain ISOCARB 11 MEA salt as well as the 50:50 branched : linear ISOCARB L11 salts, showed superior anti-corrosion performance when compared to the MARLOWET 4539, MARLOWET 4541 or undecanoic acid MEA salt as well as the geminally-branched neodecanoic acid MEA salt.
Example 2:
ISOCARB 11 (100% branched) and undecanoic acid (100% linear) were neutralised to pH values of 8, 8.5 and 9 respectively with monoethanolamine (MEA) to form the corresponding active salts. Hard water (see preparation method in DIN 51360 part 2) was used to prepare dilutions of 1 , 1.5 and 2 weight%. Dry-turned grey cast iron flakes were put on circular filter papers and soaked with 2 ml of the diluted sample solutions. After 2 hours, the corrosion grade on the filter papers were evaluated according to the guidelines provided in the test method (DIN 51360 part 2).

The 2-alkyl-branched ISOCARB 11 MEA salt showed enhanced corrosion inhibiting behaviour when compared to the linear undecanoic acid MEA salt at the vari- ous dilutions prepared, as well as at the three pH values evaluated.
Example 3:
The acids evaluated were neutralised to various pH values (see table 4) with mo- noethanolamine (MEA) to form the corresponding active salts. Hard water (see preparation method in DIN 51360 part 2) was used to prepare dilutions of one weight%.
Dry-turned grey cast iron flakes were put on a circular filter paper and soaked with 2 ml of the diluted sample solution. After 2 hours, the degree of staining on the filter paper was evaluated according to the guidelines provided in the test method (DIN 51360 part 2).

CORFREE M1 (linear) . . . 4
IRGACORL 190 Plus (branched) 4 - 1
These experiments clearly show enhanced corrosion inhibiting properties for the 2- alkyl branched ISOCARB 11 MEA salt when compared to the geminally-branched neodecanoic acid MEA salt at the pH values evaluated. In addition, comparison of the ISOCARB 11 salt with two industry-accepted standards (linear CORFREE M1 and linear IRGACORL 190 Plus) MEA salts clearly demonstrate the advantage of the claimed invention.
Example 4:
The acids evaluated were neutralised to various pH values (see table 5) with mo- noisopropanolamine (Ml PA) to form the corresponding active salts. Hard water (see preparation method in DIN 51360 part 2) was used to prepare dilutions of 1 weight%.
Dry-turned grey cast iron flakes were put on a circular filter paper and soaked with 2 ml of the diluted sample solution. After 2 hours, the degree of staining on the filter paper was evaluated according to the guidelines provided in the test method (DIN 51360 part 2).

The one weight % dilutions of fatty acid MIPA salts were prepared and the results clearly show enhanced corrosion inhibiting properties of the 2-alkyl branched ISOCARB 11 salts when compared to the two industry-accepted standards (linear CORFREE M1 and linear IRGACORL 190 Plus). Example 5:
The acids evaluated were neutralised to different pH values (see table 6) with mo- noisopropanolamine (MIPA) to form the corresponding active salts. Hard water (see preparation method in DIN 51360 part 2) was used to prepare dilutions of 2 weight%.
Dry-turned grey cast iron flakes were put on a circular filter paper and soaked with 2 ml of the diluted sample solution. After 2 hours, the degree of staining on the filter paper was evaluated according to the guidelines provided in the test method (DIN 51360).

In this case, two weight % dilutions of fatty acid MIPA salts were prepared. The results again show promising corrosion inhibiting properties for 2-alkyl branched ISOCARB 11 and ISOCARB 12 MIPA salts, when compared to the two industry- accepted standards (linear CORFREE M1 and branched IRGACORL 190).
