Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to lubricating compositions (lubricants) and finds particular application in connection with an additive for a lubricating composition and to a lubricating method.
  • Phenol-based detergents are known. Among these are phenates based on phenolic monomers linked with sulfur bridges or alkylene bridges such as methylene linkages derived from formaldehyde. The phenolic monomers themselves are typically substituted with an aliphatic hydrocarbyl group to provide a measure of oil solubility.
  • the hydrocarbyl groups may be alkyl groups, such as dodecylphenol (or propylene tetramer-substituted phenol).
  • Basic sulfurized polyvalent metal phenates are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 2,680,096, to Walker et al. , issued June 1 , 1954; and U.S. Pat. No. 3,372, 1 16, to Meinhardt, issued March 6, 1968.
  • alkylphenol detergents which are based on oligomers of C12 alkyl phenols may contain residual monomeric C12 alkyl phenol species. These detergents include those derived from para-dodecyl phenol.
  • alkyl-substituted phenate detergents for uses in lubricants, fuels, and as industrial additives, which reduce or eliminate the need for dodecylphenol-based compounds.
  • Greater than 90 mole % of the olefin is a linear C20- C30 n-alpha olefin, less than 10 mole % of the olefin is a linear olefin of less than 20 carbon atoms, and less than 5 mole %of the olefin is a branched chain olefin of 18 carbons or less.
