This invention relates to soluble oil and more particularly to a soluble oil containing overbased sulfonate possessing anti-wear properties which is capable of forming extremely stable emulsions with water.
Environmental considerations in Europe, Canada and the United States regarding the use less hazardous materials in industrial oils has obviated the need to find replacements for chlorinated paraffins (CP). Cutting fluids containing chlorine-based extreme pressure agents have been criticized as responsible for corrosion and damage of incinerators caused by environmental pollution and emission of chlorine gases, as well as the generation of dioxin during incineration of waste.
Generally speaking, in metal working processes such as cutting and grinding, chlorine-based extreme pressure agents have been used because of their excellent ability to improve cutting performance and relatively low cost.
Moreover, chlorinated paraffins, a class of chlorine-based extreme pressure agents, raise some concern about their toxicity and carcinogenicity.
As such, soluble oil emulsions with extreme pressure agents absent chlorinated paraffins are preferred. However, the ability to provide soluble oil emulsions containing overbased products has been hampered by incompatibilities of the overbased material and the soluble oil. In general, overbased materials provide hazy soluble oil base and cause phase separation and/or sediment in the final emulsion.
There are numerous references in the literature describing soluble oil formulations for forming stable emulsions with water, see e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,307,744; 2,470,913; 2,670,310; 2,695,272; 2,846,393; and 2,913,410. The compositions described in these prior art patents generally include mineral oil and an emulsifier package comprising an emulsifier, a coupling agent, and various additives. While these prior art compositions have been quite satisfactory in many instances, there has nevertheless been a continuing need for an oil soluble concentrate capable of forming a stable emulsion, particularly for use as cutting oil in machines.
There remains a need in the art for environmentally friendly stable cutting oil emulsions with improved cutting performance.
The present invention provides a soluble oil composition which comprises:
The present invention provides a soluble oil compositions containing overbased sulfonates possessing anti-wear properties which forms stable emulsions with water, without causing phase separation or sediment.
Compositions of the type described herein are generally referred to as soluble oils, although these compositions ordinarily form an emulsion when mixed with water. In order to distinguish between the soluble oil and the emulsion which is produced when the soluble oil is mixed with sufficient quantities of water, the term “soluble oil” will be used to describe the oil plus emulsifier, and the emulsion which is formed when the soluble oil is mixed with water will be referred to as a “soluble oil emulsion.” The emulsion which is formed when the soluble oil is mixed with water is of the oil-in-water type wherein the aqueous phase constitutes the continuous phase and the mineral oil constituent is the dispersed phase. The soluble oil emulsion allows the good cooling properties of water to be utilized in the metal working process whilst the oil and additives provide lubrication and corrosion inhibiting properties.
Generally, the friction modifiers, antiwear or extreme pressure additives in lubricants, e.g., cutting oils, reduce damage by maintaining a layer of lubricant between moving parts and help reduce harmful metal on metal contact.
Anti-wear, extreme pressure, anti-corrosion, and friction modifiers; as well as detergents and dispersants, are all polar additives which have an affinity to metal surfaces and can compete for the active metal surface site, or interact with each other. In particular, polar and acidic additives tend to destabilize overbased calcium sulfonate, a colloidal dispersion of calcium carbonate in oil, and cause precipitation of the calcium carbonate. The exact mechanism is still poorly understood, but additives like fatty acids, fatty acid esters, amines are very problematic unless they are added in strict proportions as outlined herein.
The base oil of the present invention typically is a 100 Saybolt Univeral Second (SUS) naphthenic oil useful for metalworking, however, any group I, II, or III oils could be used with a viscosity between 70 and 1000 SUS. The base oil not only can be hydrocarbon oils of lubricating viscosity derived from petroleum (or tar sands, coal, shale, etc.), but also can be natural oils of suitable viscosities such as rapeseed oil, etc., and synthetic oils such as hydrogenated polyolefin oils; poly-alpha-olefins (e.g., hydrogenated or unhydrogenated .alpha.-olefin oligomers such as hydrogenated poly-1-decene); alkyl esters of dicarboxylic acids; complex esters of dicarboxylic acid, polyglycol and alcohol; alkyl esters of carbonic or phosphoric acids; polysilicones; fluorohydrocarbon oils; and mixtures of mineral, natural and/or synthetic oils in any proportion, etc. The term “base oil” for this disclosure includes all the foregoing.
As is noted above, the base oil can comprise a portion of one or more synthetic oils. Among the suitable synthetic oils are homo- and inter-polymers of C2-C12 olefins, carboxylic acid esters of both monoalcohols and polyols, polyethers, silicones, polyglycols, silicates, alkylated aromatics, carbonates, thiocarbonates, orthoformates, phosphates and phosphites, borates and halogenated hydrocarbons. Representative of such oils are homo- and interpolymers of C2-C12 monoolefinic hydrocarbons, alkylated benzenes (e.g., dodecyl benzenes, didodecyl benzenes, tetradecyl benzenes, dinonyl benzenes, di-(2-ethylhexyl)benzenes, wax-alkylated naphthalenes); and polyphenyls (e.g., biphenyls, terphenyls). Alkylene oxide polymers and interpolymers and derivatives thereof where the terminal hydroxyl groups have been modified by esterification, etherification, etc., constitute another class of synthetic oils. These are exemplified by the oils prepared through polymerization of alkylene oxides such as ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, and the alkyl and aryl ethers of these polyoxyalkylene polymers (e.g., methyl polyisopropylene glycol ether having an average molecular weight of 1000, diphenyl ether of polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of 500-1000, diethyl ether of polypropylene glycol having a molecular weight of 1000-1500) or mono- and poly-carboxylic esters thereof, for example, the acetic acid ester, mixed C3-C6 fatty acid esters, or the C13 Oxo aciddiester of tetraethylene glycol.
Another suitable class of synthetic oils comprises the esters of dicarboxylic acids (e.g., phthalic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, azelaic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, linoleic acid dimer) with a variety of alcohols (e.g., butyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, dodecyl alcohol, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol, ethylene glycol). Specific examples of these esters include dibutyl adipate, di(2-ethylhexyl)adipate, didodecyl adipate, di(tridecyl)adipate, di(2-ethylhexyl)sebacate, dilauryl sebacate, di-n-hexyl fumarate, dioctyl sebacate, diisooctyl azelate, diisodecyl azelate, dioctyl phthalate, didecyl phthalate, di(eicosyl)sebacate, the 2-ethylhexyl diester of linoleic acid dimer, and the complex ester formed by reacting one mole of sebacic acid with two moles of tetraethylene glycol and two moles of 2-ethylhexanoic acid.
Other esters which may be used include those made from C3-C18 monocarboxylic acids and polyols and polyol ethers such as neopentyl glycol, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol and dipentaerythritol. Trimethylol propane tripelargonate, pentaerythritol tetracaproate, the ester formed from trimethylolpropane, caprylic acid and sebacic acid, and the polyesters derived from a C4-C14 dicarboxylic acid and one or more aliphatic dihydric C3-C12 alcohols such as derived from azelaic acid or sebacic acid and 2,2,4-trimeth-1,6-hexanediol serve as examples.
Silicon-based oils such as the polyalkyl-, polyaryl-, polyalkoxy-, or polyaryloxy-siloxane oils and silicate oils comprise another class of synthetic lubricants (e.g., tetraethyl silicate, tetraisopropyl silicate, tetra-(2-ethylhexyl)silicate, tetra-tert-butylphenyl)silicate, poly(methyl)siloxanes, and poly(methylphenyl)siloxanes. Other synthetic lubricating oils include liquid esters of phosphorus-containing acids (e.g., tricresyl phosphate, trioctyl phosphate, triphenyl phosphite, and diethyl ester of decane phosphonic acid.
Also useful as base oils or as components of base oils are hydrogenated or unhydrogenated liquid oligomers of C6-C16 alpha-olefins, such as hydrogenated or unhydrogenated oligomers formed from 1-decene. Methods for the production of such liquid oligomeric 1-alkene hydrocarbons are known and reported in the literature. See for example U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,749,560; 3,763,244; 3,780,128; 4,172,855; 4,218,330; 4,902,846; 4,906,798; 4,910,355; 4,911,758; 4,935,570; 4,950,822; 4,956,513; and 4,981,578, the content all of which are incorporated herein by reference. Blends of such materials can also be used in order to adjust the viscometrics of the given base oil. As is well known in the art, hydrogenated oligomers of this type contain little, if any, residual ethylenic unsaturation.
Preferred oligomers are formed by use of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst (especially boron trifluoride promoted with water or a C1-20 alkanol) followed by catalytic hydrogenation of the oligomer so formed using procedures such as are described in the foregoing U.S. patents.
The soluble oil composition of the present invention may be used in cutting oils emulsified in water by means of a suitable emulsifier. Any conventional emulsifier may be used although according to one specific embodiment of the invention, the preferred emulsifier is a neutralized carboxylic acid compound. According to another specific embodiment of the invention the preferred emulsifier is a neutralized tall oil fatty acid.
Carboxylic acids can be derived from saponification of either animal or vegetable oils or can be synthesized by a variety of methods from petroleum oil based feedstocks.
One prevalent source for carboxylic acids is tall oil and its components (i.e., tall oil fatty acids, tall oil fatty acids<2% rosin and tall oil rosin). Tall oil is a byproduct of the Kraft paper making process. Carboxylic acids are also obtained from vegetable oils, such as, for example, babassu oil, coconut oil, palm oil, corn oil, cotton seed oil, ground nut oil, olive oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil, linseed oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, low erucic (or canola oil) rapeseed oil, high erucic oiticica oil, tung oil, castor oil, and the like. Animal source of carboxylic acid include, but are not limited to, butterfat, lard, tallow (beef), tallow (sheep), and the like. They can also be obtained from marine oils, e.g., herring oil, menhaden oil, sardine oil, whale oil, and the like. The carboxylic acids described herein can be neutralized with NaOH or any other suitable alkali base.
Useful fatty acids of the present invention include but are not limited to rosin acids and fatty acids present in tall oil and other naturally occurring products. Some specific saturated acids include caproic, caprylic, lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic, arachidic, behenic, lignoceric, heptadecanoic, and nonadecanoic. Unsaturated acids such as, palmitoleic, oleic, ricinoleic, linoleic, linolenic, eleostearic, gadoleic, erucic, and eicosadienoic.
In one embodiment of the invention, the amount of neutralized carboxylic acid ranges from 0 to about 30 weight percent of the soluble oil composition. In another embodiment, the amount of neutralized carboxylic acid ranges from about 5 to about 23 weight percent of the soluble oil composition. In still another embodiment of the invention the amount of neutralized carboxylic acid ranges from about 12 to 15 weight percent of the soluble oil composition.
In one specific embodiment of the invention, the emulsifier used in the soluble oil composition is a neutralized tall oil. Tall oil is a resinous oily liquid composed of a mixture of rosin acids and fatty acids obtained as a byproduct in the treatment of pine pulp and used in soaps, emulsions, and lubricants. Tall oil can contain from 0-50% resin acids (rosin) and from 0-50% fatty acids. Abietic and dehydroabietic acids comprise over 60% of the resin acids, while oleic and linoleic acids predominate in the fatty acid fraction. Common tall oil blends typically contain 30% rosin acids and 70% tall oil fatty acids. The tall oil and/or its components can be neutralized with NaOH or any other suitable alkali base to obtain neutralized tall oil.
In one embodiment of the invention, the amount of neutralized tall oil ranges from 0 to about 30 weight percent of the soluble oil composition. In another embodiment, the amount of neutralized tall oil ranges from about 5 to about 23 weight percent of the soluble oil composition. In still another embodiment of the invention the amount of neutralized tall oil ranges from about 12 to 15 weight percent of the soluble oil composition.
The sulfurized overbased compounds of the present invention are thermally stable and are useful as extreme pressure (EP) and/or anti-wear agents or antioxidants for use in lubricants, functional fluids and soluble oil. The sulfurized overbased products are particularly suitable for use as EP and/or anti-wear agents for use in cutting fluids.
Overbased sulfonates are metallic salts of sulfonic acid compounds and are well known in the art. Overbased sulfonates are characterized by a metal content in excess of that which would be present according to the stoichiometry of the metal and the acidic organic compound reacted with the metal. The “overbased” metal content of an overbased sulfonate typically may be suspended or complexed with the petroleum sulfonate. (Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, John Wiley & Sons, Third Edition, N.Y. (1979), vol. 22, page 23).
The most widely-used overbased alkaline-earth sulfonates are based on calcium, magnesium, and barium. (Kirk-Othmer, supra., vol 22, page 23). Overbased calcium sulfonates, for example, might include CaO, Ca(OH)2, or CaCO3 suspended or complexed with the sulfonate.
Methods of manufacturing overbased sulfonates are described in various patents, including: Eliades et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,129,589; Allain et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,306,983; Allain et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,347,147; Eliades et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,597,880; Muir, U.S. Pat. No. 4,617,135; and Burke, Jr. et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,259,966, the contents all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
As such, overbased alkaline earth sulfonates are compounds prepared by neutralizing a sulfonic acid with an excess of alkaline earth metal base (e.g., the hydroxides of magnesium, calcium or barium) so as to produce an overbased alkaline earth metal sulfonate with a total base number (“TBN”) of greater than zero. The TBN is the amount of acid needed to neutralize all of the alkalinity of the overbased material, and can be determined according to ASTM D 2896. A composition with a TBN of about 100 or less is considered to be a “low overbased material.” A TBN of about 100 to 300 is characterized as “moderate overbasing.” A composition with a TBN of over 300 is considered to be a “highly overbased” material. According to one embodiment of the invention, the overbased alkaline earth metal sulfonate is overbased calcium sulfonate having a TBN of above about 250, and according to another embodiment above about 350, and in yet another embodiment, above about 400 or higher.
According to another aspect of the invention it has been found that amorphous overbased calcium sulfonate is superior to crystalline overbased calcium sulfonate in terms of undesired sedimentation. An amorphous overbased calcium sulfonate suitable for use in the present inventor in commercially available from Chemtura Corporation of Middlebury Conn. under the designation Calcinate™ C-400 CLR. The amorphous overbased calcium sulfonate has a particle size of less than about 30 nm. Crystalline overbased calcium sulfonates have a particle size above 30 nm, preferably 50-500 nm and more preferably 50-100 nm. Calcinate™ C-300CS, available from Chemtura Corporation, is an example of a crystalline overbased calcium sulfonate. A method for preparing highly overbased calcium sulfonate is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,444,625 B1, which is herein incorporated by reference.
In one embodiment of the invention, the amount of overbased alkaline earth metal sulfonate ranges from about 0.1 to about 20 weight percent of the soluble oil composition. In another embodiment, the amount of overbased alkaline earth metal sulfonate ranges from about 1 to about 10 weight percent of the soluble oil composition. In still another embodiment of the invention overbased alkaline earth metal sulfonate ranges from about 2 to 5 about weight percent of the soluble oil composition.
According to one aspect of the invention, it has been found that certain extreme pressure agents, anti-wear agents and/or friction modifiers, when combined with an overbased alkaline earth sulfonate, provide for improved performance properties.
In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the soluble oil composition employs a sulfurized olefin anti-wear agent along with the overbased alkaline earth sulfonate.
Friction modifiers are used to reduce the coefficient of friction. In this regard, the friction modifier and/or anti-wear agent and overbased calcium sulfonate can be combined and packaged with other additives such as antioxidants, dispersants and/or defoamers, or other types of additives such as mentioned above.
Various friction modifiers can be used in the additive mixture. Such friction modifiers include glycerol monoesters, overbased carboxylates, overbased tall oil fatty acids, the reaction product of an alkanolamine (e.g., triethanolamine (“TEA”) or diethanolamine) or a glycol (e.g., thiodiglycol, diethylene glycol) with a fatty acid or fatty ester, oxygenated petroleum fractions, alkoxylated alkylamine and the reaction products of glycols with fatty esters.
Glycerol monoesters useful as friction modifiers include, for example, glycerol esters of saturated or unsaturated C8 to C20 fatty acids such as glycerol monopalmitate, glycerol monostearate, glycerol monooleate, and the like.
Overbased carboxylates are known and are generally prepared by reacting an acidic material, normally an acidic gas such as SO2 or CO2, and most commonly carbon dioxide, with a mixture comprising a carboxylic acid and a stoichiometric excess of an alkaline base metal compound in a reaction medium, preferably with a promoter. The base metal is preferably an alkaline earth metal such as magnesium, calcium or barium in the form of an oxide or hydroxide. The carboxylic acid is preferably a saturated or unsaturated carboxylic acid having from about 8 to about 30 carbon atoms. Useful carboxylic acids include, but are not limited to, caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, myristoleic acid, decanoic acid, dodecanoic acid, pentadecanoic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, margaric acid, stearic acid, 12-hydroxystearic acid, oleic acid, ricinoleic acid, linoleic acid, arachidic acid, gadoleic acid, eicosadienoic acid, behenic acid, erucic acid, mixtures of any of these acids or their reactive equivalent.
Other suitable overbased carboxylates include overbased calcium tallate and overbased barium tallate.
A reaction product of TEA and fatty ester suitable for use as a friction modifier is the reaction product of TEA and methyl oleate. Other suitable friction modifiers include the reaction products of TEA with, for example, oleic acid, ricinoleic acid, isostearic acid, erucic acid, tall oil fatty acid (TOFA), mixed oleic/stearic acids, and iso-oleic acid.
Oxygenated petroleum fractions are known. Petroleum oxidates and methods for making them are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,439,602, which is herein incorporated by reference.
Also suitable for use as friction modifiers are the reaction products of thiodiglycol with fatty acids or fatty esters (e.g., oleic acid, methyl oleate, etc.), and the reaction products of a dialkylene glycol (e.g., diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, etc.) with a fatty acid or fatty ester (e.g., oleic acid, methyl oleate, etc.).
In another aspect of the invention it has been found that overbased alkaline earth sulfonate (especially crystalline overbased calcium sulfonate) provides a soluble oil composition with greater lubricity (i.e., lower coefficient of friction). Particularly preferred as a friction modifier are combinations of overbased calcium sulfonate and sulfurized olefin with 40% active sulfur like RC2540 (from Rhein-Chemie) possessing excellent lubricity and low sedimentation. A preferred crystalline overbased calcium sulfonate is available from Chemtura Corp. under the designation Calcinate C300CS and has a particle size of about 50-500 nm. Preferred particle size for a crystalline overbased calcium sulfonate ranges from about 50 nm to about 100 nm.
Furthermore, if necessary, various additives can be added to the soluble oil composition of the present invention, so long as the object of the present invention is not impaired. Examples of the additives include various known friction modifiers, oiliness agents, and extreme pressure agents such as alcohols, fatty acids, esters, diesters, polyvalent esters, fats and oils, sulfurized fats and oils, sulfurized esters, sulfurized olefins, chlorinated paraffins, phosphates, phosphites, dithiophosphates (zinc dithiophosphate, molybdenum dithiophosphate and the like), and dithiocarbamates (molybdenum dithiocarbamate and the like). In addition, various known anti-oxidant additives, surface active agents, and stabilizing agents.
Typical friction modifiers include fatty acid esters, fatty amide, fatty amides, ethoxylated fatty amine. Typical antioxidants are diphenyl amine and phenolic products like Naugalube 4381, Naugalube 640, Naugalube 438, Naugalube 531 and the like. Typical EP/AW additives include ZDDP, molybdenum dithiocarbamate compounds, chlorinate paraffins, sulfurized olefins, and sulfurized esters. These additives can be added in known and conventional amounts.
