Definitions

  • This disclosure relates to lubricating oil additives and lubricating oil compositions containing the same. More specifically, this disclosure describes ashless additives that can increase total base number and/or modify friction and/or improve wear performance in lubricating oils.
  • Lubricating oils are often formulated to a specific total base number (TBN) or TBN range. This ensures that the lubricating oils contain sufficient basic additives and/or detergents to neutralize acidic byproducts that can damage engine parts.
  • Conventional base-containing additives such as overbased phenate and sulfonate detergents carry with them an abundance of metal as measured by sulfated ash. This presents challenges as industry and regulatory standards keep pushing towards ash restriction.
  • Basic amine additives are an alternative to ash containing overbased metal detergents. At least one drawback is that amine additives can degrade fluoroelastomers which are commonly found in seals (e.g., Viton seals).
  • Basic amine additives such as succinimide dispersants, contain polyamine head-groups, which are believed to cause dehydrofluorination in fluoroelastomeric seals.
  • Certain additives may be multi-functional (e.g., friction modifier, anti-wear) and provide more than one performance benefit.
  • US 2006160709 A1 describes a lubricant additive which comprises a succinimide compound or a boronization product thereof which is used for preparation of a lubricant composition which can maintain the property of anti-shudder for a long time without decreasing the transmission torque capacity or friction coefficient between metals.
  • an ashless additive composition comprising: tertiary amine-containing compound having the following structure: wherein R 1 and R 2 are independently a linear or branched-chain monovalent hydrocarbyl group having two to about twenty carbon atoms, each m is independently from 0 to 4, each p is independently from 0 to 4, for each cyclic moiety m + p is from 2 to 4, and n is independently from 1 to 6.
  • a lubricating oil composition comprising: a major amount of a base oil; and an ashless tertiary amine-containing compound having the following structure: wherein R 1 and R 2 are independently a linear or branched-chain monovalent hydrocarbyl group having two to about twenty carbon atoms, each m is independently from 0 to 4, each p is independently from 0 to 4, for each cyclic moiety m + p is from 2 to 4, and n is independently from 1 to 6.
  • an ashless additive composition comprising diamide product of a reaction comprising: a hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride represented by the following structure: wherein R 1 is a linear or branched-chain monovalent hydrocarbyl group having two to about twenty carbon atoms; and a cyclic polyamine represented by the following structure:
  • a method for operating an internal combustion engine comprising lubricating said engine with a lubricating oil composition comprising: a major amount of base oil of lubricating viscosity; and an ashless tertiary amine containing composition having the following structure: wherein R 1 and R 2 are independently a linear or branched-chain monovalent hydrocarbyl group having two to about twenty carbon atoms, each m is independently from 0 to 4, each p is independently from 0 to 4, for each cyclic moiety m + p is from 2 to 4, and each n is independently from 1 to 6.
  • total base number refers to the amount of base equivalent to milligrams of KOH in 1 gram of sample as measured by the ASTM D-2896 test.
  • hydrocarbyl refers to a chemical group or moiety derived from hydrocarbons including saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons.
  • hydrocarbyl groups include alkenyl, alkyl, polyalkenyl, polyalkyl, phenyl, and the like.
  • 'oil-soluble' or 'oil-dispersible' do not necessarily indicate that the compounds or additives are soluble, dissolvable, miscible or capable of being suspended in the oil in all proportions. These do mean, however, that they are, for instance, soluble or stably dispersible in oil to an extent sufficient to exert their intended effect in the environment in which the oil is employed. Moreover, the additional incorporation of other additives may also permit incorporation of higher levels of a particular additive, if desired.
  • the present invention relates to an ashless additive composition that can be utilized as a TBN source and/or friction modifier and/or anti-wear agent in lubricating oil.
  • the additive composition can be used at cost-effective treat rates while maintaining fluoroelastomer seal compatibility.
  • the present invention may also be used as a friction modifier which reduces friction and wear in machine components.
  • the ashless additive composition of the present invention includes product(s) of a reaction involving a hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride and a cyclic polyamine.
  • the result is a diamide structure featuring at least two basic tertiary amines.
  • the ashless additive composition of the present invention may be synthesized by any known compatible method such as those described in, for example, U.S. Patent No. 7,091,306 .
  • the reaction may proceed under various conditions.
  • the hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride is reacted with the cyclic polyamine at a temperature of about 130°C to 220°C (e.g., 140°C to 200°C, 145°C to 175°C, etc.). More preferably, the temperature may range from about 160°C to 215°C.
  • the imidation step may be carried out at lower temperatures (e.g., 150°C to 170°C) while higher temperatures (e.g., 200°C to 220°C) may be necessary to complete the amidation step.
  • the reaction can be carried out under an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen or argon.
  • a suitable molar charge of hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride to cyclic polyamine is from about 1.4:1 to about 1.7:1, more preferably from about 1.5:1 to about 1.6:1.
  • CMR charge mole ratio
  • the charge mole ratio is important as too much hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride can result in mono amide/acid structure instead of the diamide structure while too little can result in mono succinimide products containing secondary amines.
  • the reaction may proceed in multiple steps, wherein the total CMR of hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride to cyclic polyamine or cyclic polyamine product is from about 1.4:1 to about 1.7:1, more preferably from about 1.5:1 to about 1.6:1.
  • the first step may involve the reaction between the hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride and cyclic polyamine in a 1:1 charge mole ratio to generate the imide structure.
  • the imide structure is reacted with hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride at about 0.5 charge mole ratio (succinic anhydride to imide product) to form the diamide structure.
  • the total CMR of the two steps is 1.5:1.
  • the hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride in the first step and hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride in the second step may be the same or may differ in the hydrocarbyl groups.
  • the hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydride is given by Structure I: wherein R 1 is a linear or branched-chain monovalent hydrocarbyl group having two to about twenty carbon atoms, such as from ten to twenty carbon atoms, twelve to twenty carbon atoms, and fourteen to twenty carbon atoms. In some embodiments, the average number of carbons is about 14 or higher. R 1 may be cyclic or acylic. In some embodiments, R 1 is saturated. In other embodiments, R 1 is unsaturated.
  • hydrocarbyl group may depend on a number of factors. Solubility in oil is an important consideration. In general, longer hydrocarbyl groups have greater solubility in oil.
  • Hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydrides are commercially readily available.
  • alkenyl succinic anhydrides are widely used in paper sizing.
  • hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic anhydrides of the present invention may be synthesized by well-established methods.

  • the cyclic polyamine is represented by Structure II: wherein R 2 is a linear or branched-chain monovalent hydrocarbyl group having two to about twenty carbon atoms, m is from 0 to 4, p is from 0 to 4, wherein m + p is from 2 to 4, and n is from 1 to 6.
  • R 2 may be cyclic or acylic. In some embodiments, R 2 is saturated. In other embodiments, R 2 is unsaturated.
  • the cyclic polyamine serves as the source of basic tertiary amines.
  • polyamines suitable for use in the present invention are commercially available and others may be prepared by methods which are well known in the art. For example, methods for preparing amines and their reactions are detailed in Sidgewick's "The Organic Chemistry of Nitrogen", Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1966 ; Noller's “Chemistry of Organic Compounds”, Saunders, Philadelphia, 2nd Ed., 1957 ; and Kirk-Othmer's "Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology", 2nd Ed., especially Volume 2, pp. 99 116 .
  • Suitable examples of cyclic polyamines include, for example, aminoethyl piperazine, aminopropyl piperazine, aminobutyl piperazine, aminoethyl diazepane, aminoethyl diazocane, suitable derivatives thereof, and the like.
  • One class of ashless additive composition may be represented by Structure III: wherein R 1 and R 2 are independently a linear or branched-chain monovalent hydrocarbyl group having two to about twenty carbon atoms, each m is independently from 0 to 4, each p is independently from 0 to 4, for each cyclic moiety m + p from 2 to 4 and each n is independently from 1 to 6.
  • the ashless additive composition of the present invention is usually present in the lubricating oil composition in concentrations ranging from about 0.001 to about 20 wt. % (including, but not limited to, 0.01 to 5 wt. %, 0.2 to 4 wt. %, 0.5 to 3 wt. %, 1 to 2 wt. %, and so forth), based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition.
