  • the polyurea grease compositions of this disclosure afford improved performance advantages in structural stability in high temperature environments in the DIN 51821 (FAG FE9) test method.
  • An advantage provided by this disclosure is the use of a grease in high temperature environments such as steel mills and paper mills that allows for longer life of the grease in such environments.
  • the grease enhances lube-for-life applications, where the grease is place in a sealed bearing and the bearing (under its intended application) exceeds the life of the mechanism it is supporting. This translates to longer equipment run life for the equipment operators between maintenance and thereby cost savings for them. This also improves reliability of the grease in lubricating the equipment in high temperature conditions for longer periods of time.
  • the grease compositions of this disclosure expand the applicability of greases in high temperature environments as typically found in paper mills and steel mills and roller bearings.
  • the grease compositions of this disclosure can also extend the in-service life thereby reducing the need for intermittent servicing of the equipment (for replacement of the grease) that the grease is being used in, while providing adequate lubrication protection to the equipment during the period of use. This advantage in turn increases the productivity and life of the equipment.
  • An aspect of the present disclosure provides grease compositions with improved structural stability and resistance to breaking down in accordance with the DIN 51821 (FAG FE9) test method, relative to other greases, under extreme conditions, such as high temperature environments.
  • the grease compositions of this disclosure can be used in automobiles, diesel engines, axles, transmissions, and industrial applications.
  • Grease compositions must meet the specifications for their intended application as defined by the concerned governing organization.
  • the grease compositions of this disclosure provide optimum performance in a wide variety of diverse industrial and automotive applications. For example: sealed for life applications, electric motors, automotive wheel bearings, paper machine roll bearings (wet and dry), and wind turbines require different degrees of structural stability and oil release rates, responding to mechanical and thermal stress.
  • Advantages of formulating the grease compositions of this disclosure with prepolymer isocyanates include, for example, the following: (i) prepolymer isocyantes are less than half the price of isocyanates currently used to manufacture MDI grease thickeners; prepolymer isocyanates can be made by conventional means; that is, no change is necessary in the handling or manufacturing of the product; prepolymer isocyanates produce greases that, as compared to conventional MDI base grease, having superior high temperature properties; and MTM data shows that combinations of prepolymer isocyanate based thickeners provide a lower coefficient of friction that that of current MDI base thickener systems.
  • the polyurea thickeners useful in this disclosure are prepared by reacting an isocyanate- terminated prepolymer with at least one amine under reaction conditions sufficient to prepare the at least one polyurea thickener.
  • the isocyanate-terminated prepolymers useful in this disclosure are formed by combining an excess of diisocyanate with polyol.
  • one of the NCO groups of the diisocyanate reacts with one of the OH groups of the polyol; the other end of the polyol reacts with another diisocyanate.
  • the resulting prepolymer has an isocyanate group on both ends.
  • the prepolymer is a diisocyanate itself, and it reacts like a diisocyanate but with several important differences. When compared with the original diisocyanate, the prepolymer has a greater molecular weight, a higher viscosity, a lower isocyanate content by weight (%NCO), and a lower vapor pressure.
  • a triol or higher functional polyol can also be used for the polyol in the reaction, as long as an excess amount of diisocyanate is used. Molar ratios of diisocyanate to polyol greater than two to one can also be used. These are called quasi-prepolymers.
  • the isocyanate-terminated prepolymers have an isocyanate content of about 0.5 to about 40 weight percent, or about 1.0 to about 35 weight percent, or about 1.5 to about 30 weight percent, or about 2.0 to about 25 weight percent, or about 1.0 to about 20 weight percent, or about 1.5 to about 20 weight percent, or about 2.0 to about 20 weight percent, or about 2.5 to about 20 weight percent, based on the weight of the prepolymer after reaction.
