- Lubricating oils as used in the internal combustion engines and transmissions of automobiles or trucks are subjected to a demanding environment during use. This environment results in oxidation of the oil which is catalyzed by the presence of impurities in the oil, and is also promoted by the elevated temperatures of the oil during use.
- the oxidation of lubricating oils contributes to the formation of sludge in oils and the breakdown of viscosity characteristics of the lubricant.
- the oxidation is often controlled to some extent by selecting the proper antioxidant additives thereby significantly improving the life of the lubricating oils.
- Antioxidant additives can extend the useful life of the lubricating oil by, for example, reducing or preventing unacceptable viscosity increases and/or deposit formation.
- antiwear agents form a thin-film on metal surfaces which prevents metal to metal contact, resulting in a decrease in the amount of wear.
- a well-known and commonly used antiwear agent is zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP).

Abstract
Description
- The present disclosure is directed to additive and lubricant compositions and methods for use thereof. More particularly, this invention is directed to an additive composition comprising (i) a triazole compound, (ii) a nitrogen-containing compound, and (iii) a phenolic compound.
- Lubricating oils as used in the internal combustion engines and transmissions of automobiles or trucks are subjected to a demanding environment during use. This environment results in oxidation of the oil which is catalyzed by the presence of impurities in the oil, and is also promoted by the elevated temperatures of the oil during use.
- The oxidation of lubricating oils contributes to the formation of sludge in oils and the breakdown of viscosity characteristics of the lubricant. The oxidation is often controlled to some extent by selecting the proper antioxidant additives thereby significantly improving the life of the lubricating oils. Antioxidant additives can extend the useful life of the lubricating oil by, for example, reducing or preventing unacceptable viscosity increases and/or deposit formation.
- Additionally, protecting the metal surface of an engine against wear degradation by selecting the proper balance of antiwear agents in a lubricating composition can significantly increase the life of the metal surface. Antiwear agents form a thin-film on metal surfaces which prevents metal to metal contact, resulting in a decrease in the amount of wear. A well-known and commonly used antiwear agent is zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP).
- However, the demanding environment in which lubricating oils are subjected, including high temperatures and/or high pressures, decompose ZDDP in a lubricating oil composition. Studies have shown that some exhaust emission catalysts can be deactivated by phosphorus, largely derived from ZDDP compounds which have been the mainstay antiwear agents in passenger car motor oil and heavy duty diesel formulations for the past 50 years. Consequently, future engine oils will likely contain reduced phosphorus levels. Furthermore, as ZDDP decomposes and releases zinc molecules, these zinc molecules are capable of reacting with other performance additives present in the lubricating composition, creating sludge and other particulate matter that can cause adverse effects on engine performance. These undesirable effects of oxidation present problems in meeting ever more severe engine performance requirements.
- Simply lowering the amount of ZDDP is not a practical solution to the problem because of the accompanying reduction of antiwear properties. Therefore, it would be desirable for a lubricating oil composition to comprise improved additives that reduce the oxidative degradation of lubricating oils. It has now been discovered that a composition comprising (i) a triazole compound substituted with an aryl moiety, (ii) a nitrogen-containing compound, and (iii) a phenolic compound can provide a highly effective system which can inhibit oxidation.
- In accordance with the disclosure, there is provided an additive composition comprising (i) a triazole compound substituted with an aryl moiety; (ii) a nitrogen-containing compound represented by the formula (I):
- wherein R1 and R2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of at least one aryl moiety comprising from about 6 to about 30 atoms, hydrogen, halogen, hydroxy, hydrocarbyl, substituted hydrocarbyl, amino, amido, phosphoro, and sulfono; and (iii) a phenolic compound.
- In an aspect, there is also provided a lubricant composition comprising a a major amount of a base oil; and a minor amount of an additive composition comprising (i) a a triazole compound substituted with an aryl moiety; (ii) a nitrogen-containing compound represented by the formula (I):
- wherein R1 and R2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of at least one aryl moiety comprising from about 6 to about 30 atoms, hydrogen, halogen, hydroxy, hydrocarbyl, substituted hydrocarbyl, amino, amido, phosphoro, and sulfono; and (iii) a phenolic compound.
- Moreover, there is provided a method of decreasing oxidation degradation of a lubricant composition, said method comprising providing to a machine a lubricant composition comprising a major amount of a base oil; and a minor amount of an additive composition comprising (i) a triazole compound substituted with an aryl moiety; (ii) a nitrogen-containing compound represented by the formula (I):

- Further, there is provided a method for operating a machine, said method comprising adding to the machine a lubricant composition comprising a major amount of a base oil; and a minor amount of an additive composition comprising (i) a triazole compound substituted with an aryl moiety; (ii) a nitrogen-containing compound represented by the formula (I):
- wherein R1 and R2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of at least one aryl moiety comprising from about 6 to about 30 atoms, hydrogen, halogen, hydroxy, hydrocarbyl, substituted hydrocarbyl, amino, amido, phosphoro, and sulfono; and (iii) a phenolic compound.
- Furthermore, there is provided a method of lubricating at least one moving part of a machine, said method comprising contacting the at least one moving part with a lubricant composition comprising a major amount of a base oil; and a minor amount of an additive composition comprising (i) a triazole compound substituted with an aryl moiety; (ii) a nitrogen-containing compound represented by the formula (I):
- wherein R1 and R2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of at least one aryl moiety comprising from about 6 to about 30 atoms, hydrogen, halogen, hydroxy, hydrocarbyl, substituted hydrocarbyl, amino, amido, phosphoro, and sulfono; and (iii) a phenolic compound.

- Alkylene oxide polymers and interpolymers and derivatives thereof where the terminal hydroxyl moieties have been modified by esterification, etherification, etc., constitute another class of known synthetic oils that can be used. Such oils are exemplified by the oils prepared through polymerization of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, the alkyl and aryl ethers of these polyoxyalkylene polymers (e.g., methyl-polyisopropylene glycol ether having an average molecular weight of about 1000, diphenyl ether of polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of about 500-1000, diethyl ether of polypropylene glycol having a molecular weight of about 1000-1500, etc.) or mono- and polycarboxylic esters thereof, for example, the acetic acid esters, mixed C3-8 fatty acid esters, or the C13 Oxo acid diester of tetraethylene glycol.
- Another class of synthetic oils that can be used includes the esters of dicarboxylic acids (e.g., phthalic acid, succinic acid, alkyl succinic acids, alkenyl succinic acids, maleic acid, azelaic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, linoleic acid dimer, malonic acid, alkyl malonic acids, alkenyl malonic acids, etc.) with a variety of alcohols (e.g., butyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, dodecyl alcohol, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoether, propylene glycol, etc.) Specific examples of these esters include dibutyl adipate, di(2-ethylhexyl)sebacate, di-n-hexyl fumarate, dioctyl sebacate, diisooctyl azelate, diisodecyl azelate, dioctyl phthalate, didecyl phthalate, dieicosyl sebacate, the 2-ethylhexyl diester of linoleic acid dimer, the complex ester formed by reacting one mole of sebacic acid with two moles of tetraethylene glycol and two moles of 2-ethylhexanoic acid and the like.
- Esters useful as synthetic oils also include those made from C5-12 monocarboxylic acids and polyols and polyol ethers such as neopentyl glycol, trimethylol propane, pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol, tripentaerythritol, etc.
- Hence, the base oil used which can be used to make the compositions as described herein can be selected from any of the base oils in Groups I-V as specified in the American Petroleum Institute (API) Base Oil Interchangeability Guidelines. Such base oil groups are as follows:
- Group I contain less than 90% saturates and/or greater than 0.03% sulfur and have a viscosity index greater than or equal to 80 and less than 120; Group II contain greater than or equal to 90% saturates and less than or equal to 0.03% sulfur and have a viscosity index greater than or equal to 80 and less than 120; Group IlI contain greater than or equal to 90% saturates and less than or equal to 0.03% sulfur and have a viscosity index greater than or equal to 120; Group IV are polyalphaolefins (PAO); and Group V include all other basestocks not included in Group I, II, III or IV.
- The test methods used in defining the above groups are ASTM D2007 for saturates; ASTM D2270 for viscosity index; and one of ASTM D2622, 4294, 4927 and 3120 for sulfur.
- Group IV basestocks, i.e. polyalphaolefins (PAO) include hydrogenated oligomers of an alpha-olefin, the most important methods of oligomerisation being free radical processes, Ziegler catalysis, and cationic, Friedel-Crafts catalysis.
- The polyalphaolefins typically have viscosities in the range of 2 to 100 cSt at 100°C., for example 4 to 8 cSt at 100° C. They can, for example, be oligomers of branched or straight chain alpha-olefins having from about 2 to about 30 carbon atoms, non-limiting examples include polypropenes, polyisobutenes, poly-1-butenes, poly-1-hexenes, poly-1-octenes and poly-1-decene. Included are homopolymers, interpolymers and mixtures.
- Regarding the balance of the basestock referred to above, a “Group I basestock” also includes a Group I basestock with which basestock(s) from one or more other groups can be admixed, provided that the resulting admixture has characteristics falling within those specified above for Group I basestocks.
- Exemplary basestocks include Group I basestocks and mixtures of Group II basestocks with Group I bright stock.
- Basestocks suitable for use herein can be made using a variety of different processes including but not limited to distillation, solvent refining, hydrogen processing, oligomerisation, esterification, and re-refining.
- The base oil can be an oil derived from Fischer-Tropsch synthesized hydrocarbons. Fischer-Tropsch synthesized hydrocarbons can be made from synthesis gas containing H2 and CO using a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. Such hydrocarbons typically require further processing in order to be useful as the base oil. For example, the hydrocarbons can be hydroisomerized using processes disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,103,099 or 6,180,575; hydrocracked and hydroisomerized using processes disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,943,672 or 6,096,940; dewaxed using processes disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,882,505; or hydroisomerized and dewaxed using processes disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,013,171; 6,080,301; or 6,165,949.
- Unrefined, refined and rerefined oils, either mineral or synthetic (as well as mixtures of two or more of any of these) of the type disclosed hereinabove can be used in the base oils. Unrefined oils are those obtained directly from a mineral or synthetic source without further purification treatment. For example, a shale oil obtained directly from retorting operations, a petroleum oil obtained directly from primary distillation or ester oil obtained directly from an esterification process and used without further treatment would be an unrefined oil. Refined oils are similar to the unrefined oils except they have been further treated in one or more purification steps to improve one or more properties. Many such purification techniques are known to those skilled in the art such as solvent extraction, secondary distillation, acid or base extraction, filtration, percolation, etc. Rerefined oils are obtained by processes similar to those used to obtain refined oils applied to refined oils which have been already used in service. Such rerefined oils are also known as reclaimed or reprocessed oils and often are additionally processed by techniques directed to removal of spent additives, contaminants, and oil breakdown products.
- According to various embodiments, there is disclosed a method of delaying the onset of viscosity increase in a lubricant composition. As used herein, the term “delaying the onset of viscosity increase” is understood to mean delaying the start of an increase in the viscosity of a lubricant composition due to the oxidation process, as compared to a composition that is devoid of the compositions of the present application, including a triazole compound substituted with an aryl moiety, a nitrogen-containing compound, and a phenolic compound, as disclosed herein. The method of delaying the onset of viscosity increase in a lubricant composition can comprise providing to a machine a lubricant composition comprising a major amount of a base oil; and a minor amount of an additive comprising (i) a triazole compound substituted with an aryl moiety; (ii) a nitrogen-containing compound represented by formula (I):
- wherein R1 and R2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of at least one aryl moiety comprising from about 6 to about 30 atoms, hydrogen, halogen, hydroxy, hydrocarbyl, substituted hydrocarbyl, amino, amido, phosphoro, and sulfono; and (iii) a phenolic compound.
- According to various embodiments, there is also disclosed a method of lubricating at least one moving part of a machine. As used herein, “at least one moving part of a machine” is understood to mean at least one part of a machine which is capable of being in motion, including a gear, piston, bearing, rod, spring, camshaft, crankshaft, and the like. The method of lubricating at least one moving part of a machine comprises contacting the at least one moving part with a lubricant composition comprising a major amount of a base oil; and a minor amount of the disclosed additive composition.
- In other embodiments, there is also disclosed a method for operating a machine comprising adding to the machine a lubricant composition comprising a major amount of a base oil and a minor amount of the disclosed additive composition.
- The machine in the disclosed methods can be selected from the group consisting of spark ignition and compression-ignition internal combustion engines. Moreover, the at least one moving part can be chosen from a gear, piston, bearing, rod, spring, camshaft, crankshaft, and the like.
- The lubricant composition can be any composition that would be effective in lubricating a machine. In an aspect, the composition is selected from the group consisting of passenger car motor oils, medium speed diesel engine oils, and heavy duty diesel engine oils.
- The following examples are illustrative of the invention and its advantageous properties. In this example, as well as elsewhere in this application, all parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise indicated.
- Compositions according to the present application were formulated comprising a_triazole compound substituted with an aryl moiety, a nitrogen-containing compound, a phenolic compound, and a base composition, as shown in Tables 1 and 2. The triazole compound employed in Example Compositions 1 and 2 was a commercially available tolyltriazole (Cobratec TT-100, PMC Specialties Group, Cincinnati, Ohio). The nitrogen-containing compound was an alkylated diphenylamine (Hi-TEC®7190, Afton Chemical Corporation, Richmond, Va.), and the phenolic compound was a commercially available transesterified phenol (Ethanox®4716, Albemarle Corporation, Richmond, Va.). A comparative example was formulated without a triazole compound, as shown in Table 3 using the same nitrogen-containing compound, phenolic compound, and base composition as in Example Compositions 1 and 2.

TABLE 3 Comparative Example Composition 3 COMPONENT Wt. % Triazole — Aryl amine 0.8 Phenolic antioxidant #1 0.1 ZDDP 0.05 Base Composition Remainder TEOST MHT-4 48 (mg) - The base composition for Example Compositions 1-3 included ingredients within the concentration ranges shown for Base 2 of Table 4 below. The base composition was formulated with a base stock meeting the GF-5 standards set forth by the International Lubricants Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC), which in the instant example, was a SAE grade 5 W-30 type motor oil. All values are stated as weight percent.

TABLE 4 Base 1 Base 2 Example Base Compositions (Wt. %) (Wt. %) Dispersant system 0.15–15 1–10 Metal Detergents 0.1–15 0.2–8 Corrosion Inhibitor 0–5 0–2 Metal Dihydrocarbyl Dithiophosphate 0.1–6 0.1–4 Antifoaming Agent 0–5 0.001–0.15 Friction Modifier 0–5 0–2 Supplemental Antiwear Agents 0–1.0 0–0.8 Pour Point Depressant 0.01–5 0.01–1.5 Viscosity Modifier 0.01–10 0.25–7 Base stock Balance Balance - A thermo-oxidation engine oil simulation test (TEOST MHT-4) was performed on Example Compositions 1 and 2 and Comparative Example Composition 3. The TEOST MHT-4 is a standard lubricant industry test for the evaluation of the oxidation and carbonaceous deposit-forming characteristics of lubricants. The test is designed to simulate high temperature deposit formation in the piston ring belt area of modern engines. The test utilizes a patented instrument (U.S. Pat. No. 5,401,661 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,287,731) with the MHT-4 protocol being a relatively new modification to the test. The lower amount of deposit indicates better oxidation control thereby delaying the onset of viscosity increase in a lubricant composition.
- The results demonstrated the advantage of using the disclosed composition to delay the onset of viscosity increase in a lubricant composition. As shown by the foregoing example, Example Composition 1 comprising the disclosed antioxidant system demonstrated a TEOST MHT-4 score of 36.5 mg. Similarly, Example Composition 2 comprising the disclosed antioxidant system demonstrated a TEOST MHT-4 score of 31.1 mg. In comparison, Example Composition 3 which did not comprise the disclosed composition demonstrated a much higher TEOST MHT-4 score of 48 mg. Thus, it can be seen that the disclosed composition surprisingly and significantly reduces piston deposits thereby delaying the onset of viscosity increase in a lubricant composition.
- It is intended that the examples are being presented for the purpose of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention disclosed herein. As would be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, the particular ingredients employed and the concentrations of the ingredients can differ from those used in the examples. For instance, prophetic examples are contemplated which employ ingredients in concentrations outside of the ranges of Base 2, such as within the ranges set forth for Base 1 of Table 4, above.
- It is noted that, as used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the,” include plural referents unless expressly and unequivocally limited to one referent. Thus, for example, reference to “an antioxidant” includes two or more different antioxidants. As used herein, the term “include” and its grammatical variants are intended to be non-limiting, such that recitation of items in a list is not to the exclusion of other like items that can be substituted or added to the listed items.
- For the purposes of this specification and appended claims, unless otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities, percentages or proportions, and other numerical values used in the specification and claims, are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about.” Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the following specification and attached claims are approximations that can vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by the present disclosure. At the very least, and not as an attempt to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents to the scope of the claims, each numerical parameter should at least be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques.
- While particular embodiments have been described, alternatives, modifications, variations, improvements, and substantial equivalents that are or can be presently unforeseen can arise to applicants or others skilled in the art. Accordingly, the appended claims as filed and as they can be amended are intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications variations, improvements, and substantial equivalents.
