Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of a grease composition for lubricating surfaces in applications where a high upper service temperature is necessary and in particular in the automotive industry.
  • lubricating greases were mainly used for purely metallic components.
  • plastic-containing components are increasingly being used.
  • An essential area of application for the lubrication of plastic surfaces is the lubrication of friction partners in actuators.
  • Friction partners containing plastic place different demands on lubricating greases than purely metallic components, so that the lubricating greases usually used there generally do not offer satisfactory results, for example with regard to the coefficient of friction or durability.
  • the properties of the lubricating greases can be adjusted, among other things, by suitable selection of the thickener.
  • Aluminum complex soaps have proven to be suitable as thickeners for certain applications.
  • Aluminum complex soaps have long been known as thickeners for lubricating grease compositions and are described in many literature references, for example in J.
  • Another advantage of aluminum complex soaps is that they are able to reduce the dynamic viscosity of the lubricant due to their high shear instability. As a result, they enable the use of base oils with higher viscosities, which is particularly advantageous in the case of metal / plastic friction partners. Because of the higher lubricant film obtained between the friction partners as a result, wear can be reduced over the service life. In addition, an increased base oil viscosity is advantageous for the Noise Vibration Harshness (NVH) behavior in the component.
  • NSH Noise Vibration Harshness
  • the grease composition contains a base oil selected from at least one of a synthetic hydrocarbon oil, a synthetic ester-based oil and a synthetic ether-based oil, and a thickener selected from at least a lithium-based soap, a lithium-based complex soap and a urea-based compound.

  • An upper use temperature of the lubricating grease composition is to be understood as the highest temperature at which the Lubricating grease composition can be used without losing its serviceability.
  • the upper service temperature can be determined by measuring the oil separation at different temperatures.
  • the upper use temperature of the lubricating grease composition is the highest temperature at which the lubricating grease composition has an oil separation according to ASTM D 6184-17 (24h / X ° C.) of less than 12% by weight.

  • the lubricating grease composition can also be used at temperatures which are higher or lower than the temperatures mentioned above, provided that these temperatures only occur for a short period of time, for example less than 10 minutes.
  • Another object of the invention is the use of a lubricating grease composition containing a base oil, a thickener comprising an aluminum-based complex soap and a polyurea thickener for lubricating the surfaces of components at temperatures that are at least temporarily at least 90 ° C, for example 90 ° C to 180 ° C and / or 90 ° C to 160 ° C and / or 90 ° C to 150 ° C, preferably at least 100 ° C, for example 100 ° C to 180 ° C and / or 100 ° C to 160 ° C and / or 100 ° C to 150 ° C, more preferably 110 ° C to 180 ° C and / or 110 to 170 ° C and / or 110 ° C to 160 ° C and / or 110 ° C to 150 ° C.

  • the high temperature stability of the grease composition was surprising insofar as the use of complex soaps based on As explained above, aluminum is known to lead to lubricating greases with a rather low temperature stability of usually below 90 ° C. Without committing to a specific mechanism, it is assumed that a synergism develops between the aluminum complex side and the polyurea thickener, which increases the temperature stability of the aluminum complex side. This is probably due to the fact that both thickener components can be mixed well with one another, thus creating a hybrid thickener system. The significantly higher upper usage temperature of the polyurea thickener has a positive effect on the upper usage temperature of the aluminum-based complex soap without negatively affecting the general positive properties of the aluminum-based complex soap.
