Definitions
- the invention relates generally to lubricant compositions and to methods of their preparation and use. More particularly, the invention relates to lubricant compositions that may be prepared from renewable sources and that exhibit a combination of favorable viscosity, stability, and pour point characteristics.
- Bio-lubricants or lubricants based upon renewable resources such as seed oils and vegetable oils rather than from petroleum or natural gas, represent a small, but growing segment of total global lubricants demand.
- Natural esters for example, canola oil
- synthetic esters can be used to formulate bio-lubricants that conform to the requirements of the European Eco-label (European Commission 2005/360/EC). These formulations must contain certain minimum levels of renewable carbon atoms in the formulation in order to meet the EC requirements. As an example, hydraulic fluids require a minimum level of renewable carbons of at least 50 percent.
- biolubricants need to meet a number of technical performance criteria.
- materials that show acceptable viscosity at low and high temperatures, and have high viscosity index values (preferably greater than 140) as well as good cold weather properties, and contain a high percentage of renewable carbons have generally been elusive.
- many biolubricants are not optimal for use in applications where these performance criteria are needed including, for instance, applications where very low temperatures may be experienced, such as with outdoor mobile equipment.
- the lubricant composition when it contains an antioxidant, exhibits a viscosity that remains substantially stable even when the composition is subjected to prolonged heating.
- lubricant compositions that may at least partially be based on renewable materials and that also exhibit favorable low and high temperature viscosity, exhibit high viscosity indices, and exhibit very low pour points.
- the lubricants are well suited for use under a variety of temperature conditions, including temperatures at -40 °C and lower.
- the compositions exhibit excellent oxidative stability, experiencing little viscosity fluctuation even after prolonged heating.
- a lubricant composition comprising a polymer represented by the formula I:
- R at each occurrence is independently a group of the formula:
- n is an integer from 6 to 13
- one of R 1 and R 2" is H and one is linear or branched Cr C 7 alkyl
- m is an integer or fraction from 2 to 5.
- a method for lubricating an apparatus comprising providing a lubricant composition as described herein.
- a method for making the polymer of formula I comprising: (a) reacting a polyol and an alkylene oxide compound under alkoxylation conditions to form an alkoxylate; and (b) esterifying the alkoxylate of step (a) with a fatty acid or its alkyl ester under esterification conditions.
- numeric ranges for instance as in “from 2 to 10,” are inclusive of the numbers defining the range (e.g., 2 and 10).
- p in the polymer of formula I is a fraction between 1 and 5, alternatively it is a fraction between 2 and 5, or alternatively it is a fraction between 2 and 3. In some embodiments, p is 2. In some embodiments, p is 3.
- R 1 in the polymer of formula I is H and R 2 is methyl.
- m is an integer or fraction from 2 to 3. In some embodiments,
- m is a fraction between 2 and 3.
- n is an integer from 7 to 9. In some embodiments, n is 8.
- Polymers of formula I may be prepared by a process comprising an alkoxylation step and an esterification step.
- a polyol may be mixed with an alkoxylation catalyst, such as aqueous potassium hydroxide, flushed with an inert gas, and heated under reduced pressure in order to remove water from the mixture.
- an alkoxylation catalyst such as aqueous potassium hydroxide
- the pressure may be increased and an alkylene oxide introduced to the reaction mixture.
- the addition and reaction may be conducted at elevated temperature, such as 120 to 140 °C.
- the alkoxylated product may be isolated.
- the polyol of the alkoxylation step may be a polyglycerine compound or mixture of compounds represented by the formula A:
- polyglycerines of the foregoing formula are available from renewable sources.
- polyglycerines in which p is 2 (diglycerine) and p is 3 (triglycerine) and their mixtures are available from bio-glycerine.
- the alkylene oxide is preferably propylene oxide or butylene oxide, more preferably it is propylene oxide.
- isopropoxide and a fatty acid or a fatty acid derivative, such as or its alkyl ester (e.g., its methyl ester), anhydride, or chloride are mixed and heated, for example to 150 to 170 °C, under an inert gas, to effect the esterification reaction.
- Vacuum may be applied during the reaction in order to remove formed water or alcohol byproduct.
- the temperature may be further facilitated by increasing the temperature and/or reducing the pressure.
- the product mixture may be cooled and the esterified product isolated.
- Suitable fatty acids for the esterification step include, for example, octanoic acid, nonanoic acid, decanoic acid, undecanoic acid, dodecanoic acid, tridecanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid, or pentadecanoic acid.
- the methyl ester of the foregoing acids is preferred.
- the fatty acid is decanoic acid or its methyl ester, methyl decanoate.

- Polymers for evaluation in the examples may be prepared as follows.
- Alkoxylations are carried out on a 10 liter stainless steal reactor which is
- the oxide dosing system is controlled by weight and limited by a maximum pressure in the reactor of 4.5 bar.
- Polyol and catalyst (45 wt KOH in water) are charged into the reactor at 50 °C. In order to limit discoloration due to oxidation reactions the reactor is flushed five times with nitrogen. The stirrer is started and the speed is set to 500 rpm. Next the reactor content is brought to 100 °C and vacuum is applied (30 mbar) in order to remove the water from the initiator/catalyst mixture. The oxide feeding bomb is filled with propylene oxide (PO). After typically 1 hour flashing, samples are taken from the mixture in the reactor and water content is determined by titration. When the water content reaches the desired value (typically 1500 ppm), water flashing is stopped and the reactor pressure is brought to 1.2 bars (with nitrogen).
- PO propylene oxide
- the temperature of the mixture in the reactor is increased to 130 °C. After reaching the reaction temperature, the oxide feed is started. The maximum gauge pressure in the reactor is 4.5 bars. After a digest time of 5 hours (or more) the reactor content is cooled to 60 °C. Magnesium silicate (MagSil) is added (to adsorb the KOH catalyst) and stirred for approx 30 min. Typically 8 grams of MagSil is charged into the reactor for every gram of KOH catalyst. Next the mixture is taken out of the reactor and filtered using a buchner funnel and paper filter (type 604 from Scheicher & Schuell) until the product is clear.
