ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE High temperature greases comprising a lubricating oil base and as a thickener therefor, an amide or imido substituted polyurea of from 1 to 3 hydrocarbyl urea groups.
This patent application relates to grease compositions and thickening agents therefor, which compositions are characterized by their extreme high temperature stability and outstanding penetration characteristics. More particularly, the application relates to greases thickened with novel carboxylic acid-ureido derivatives which may be characterized as amides and imides of alkyl and aryl ureas.
Recently, the demand has increased for greases capable of providing eifective lubrication at high temperatures. The demand has been stimulated by development of modern equipment operating at high speeds, etc., and is evidenced by the many industrial and military specifications which provide minimum dropping point requirements of 400+ F. In many applications, operating temperatures of over 500 F. are encountered, and a consequent re quirement has resulted for greases able to operate at these temperatures. Among the factors contributing to these demands are the increased driving power of automobiles and aircraft, etc., and reduction in size of gears and other parts resulting from streamlining and other like design factors. An example of such streamlining is the reduction in total diameter of transmission and power train equipment in modern automobiles for the purpose of reducing clearances necessary for floors, etc. This results in reduction of gear diameters with a consequent increase in speed and temperature.
Among the materials that have been employed to produce high melting point greases are the salts of certain fatty and other carboxylic acids. Examples of such maten'als of this type which are commonly employed are the lithium salts of various fatty acids. However, these salts, in common with other materials of this general type, while providing greases of high melting points, contribute oxidation-promoting metal ions to the grease composition. These ions thus eflFect corrosion of the parts which the greases are designed to lubricate. It is, therefore, particularly desirable to provide high temperature stable greases which are, in addition, ashless, i.e., do not contain metal ions.
Although numerous non-metallic thickening agents have been proposed, these materials have generally failed to provide sufliciently high dropping points and consequent high temperature stabilities to be employed successfully in the aforementioned applications. Also, most of the ashless materials proposed have failed to provide proper stability characteristics, that is, such characteristics as are defined in tests as penetration, etc.
It is thus highly important to provide greases which have high dropping points, provide excellent lubrication for long periods at such high temperatures, are ashless and may be easily and economically prepared.
It has now been found that excellent high temperature greases result from the combination of an oil of lubricating viscosity and certain carboxylic acid-ureido compounds. Thus, the thickening agents of this invention comprise materials which may be represented by the formula:
X-(R-NHii-NH).Y in which R is a hydrocarbylene radical of 1 to 30 carbon atoms, n is a cardinal number 1 to 3, and X is a radical selected from the group consisting of (a) RC NH in which R is selected from the group consisting of alkyl radicals of 10 to 30 carbon atoms and aryl radicals of 6 to 16 carbon atoms, and (b) o (o) ('i R \N (p) 20 in which R is as previously defined and R' is hydrocarbylene of l to 30 carbon atoms, and (b) in which bonds 0 and p, R" and R' are as previously defined, and (c) hydrocarbyl radicals of 1 to 30 carbon 40 atoms.
A preferred species of the invention is a grease thickened by a diamidodiurea derived from two molecules of stearic acid, two molecules of tolylene diisocyanate and one molecule of p-phenylene diamine.
Thus, the additives of this invention may be described as amides and imides of mono-, diand triureas. These materials are formed by reacting in certain proportions suitable carboxylic acids or internal carboxylic anhydrides, diisocyanates and amines or diamines. The following reactions illustrate the formation of the various amidoureas of this invention.
Monoamidomonoureas are prepared by reacting one molecule of a diisocyanate with one molecule each of a carboxylic acid and a monoamine. correspondingly,
monoimidomonoureas are formed by reacting one molecule of a cyclic anhydride, one molecule each of a diamine and a monoisocyanate. The following equations using a monoamido compound as an example illustrate these reactions:
Carboxylic Diisoeyanate Monoamine Acid 0 n n R1CNHR2NHCNHR 00 1 Monoamidomonourea In the preparation of a monoimidourea, the anhydride reacts with One amine group of a diamine, and the other amine group reacts with the isocyanate, thus no CO is released.
Suitable carboxylic acids from which R is derived include aliphatic carboxylic acids of from about 11 to 31 carbon atoms and aromatic carboxylic acids of from 7 to 17 carbon atoms. Examples of suitable acids include aliphatic acids such as lauric, myristic, palmitic, margaric, stearic, arachidic, behenic, lignoceric acid, etc.; and aromatic acids, such as benzoic acid, l-naphthoic acid, 2-naphthoic acid, phenylacetic acid, hydrocinnarnic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, etc. Suitable anhydrides which may be employed are those derived from dibasic acids which form a cyclic anhydride structure, for example, succinic anhydride, maleic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, etc. Substituted anhydrides, such as alkenyl succinic anhydrides of up to 30 carbon atoms are further examples of suitable materials.
Examples of suitable diisocyanates, from which R is derived, include 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate, 2,6-tolylene diisocyanate, 3,3'-bi-tolylene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane- 4,4'-diisocyanate, etc.
Suitable monoisocyanates and monoamines for the production of monoamidoand monoimidomonoureas include phenyl isocyanate and tolyl isocyanate, and are preferably derived from aliphatic radicals of 2 to 30 carbon atoms or aromatic radicals of 6 to 16 carbon atoms.
The diamines are preferably aliphatic diamines of 2 to 30 carbon atoms or aromatic diamines of 6 to 16 carbon atoms. Examples of suitable diamines are ethylene diamine, propylene diamine, butylene diamine, phenylene diamine, tolylene diamine, etc.
In the formation of diamidodiureas, two molecules of the acid, two molecules of the diisocyanate and one molecule of a diamine are reacted according to the following equation:
The acids, anhydrides, diisocyanates, monoamines and diamines are the same as employed in producing the monourea materials. Since the anhydride will not react directly with the isocyanate, diimidodiureas are produced by reacting two molecules of the anhydride with two molecules of the diamine and one molecule of the diisocyanate.
The monoamidotriureas are formed by the reaction of one molecule of the carboxylic acid, two molecules of the diisocyanate, and one molecule each of the diamine and monoamine according to the following reaction:
The imidotriureas are likewise formed by reacting one molecule of the anhydride, two molecules of the diamine, and one molecule each of the diisocyanate and the monoamine.
The thickeners may be easily prepared in situ, i.e., in the lubricant base, or may be prepared separately and then added to the base. The materials may be prepared by blending the several reactants together in a reaction vessel and heating them at temperatures ranging from 70 F. to about 600 F. for a time suflicient to cause formation of the desired thickener. For example, in the formation of a diamidodiurea, two moles of carboxylic acid, two moles of diisocyanate and one mole of a diamine may be blended together to form a uniform mixture, then heated at temperatures within the range prescribed. However, since the diisocyanate reacts with amines at a more rapid rate than with acids, a higher yield of the diamidodiurea may be obtained if the reaction is carried forth in separate steps. For example, it is preferable to react the diisocyanate first with the acid and then add the amine material. correspondingly, in the case of diamidoand imidoureas, it is also preferable to conduct the aciddiisocyanate or anhydride-diamine reaction first. In either case, the reaction may be carried out simply by mixing the reactants together as described, or a basic catalyst may be employed to hasten the reaction. Typical bases which may be employed as catalysts are electron-rich nitrogen bases, such as triethylamine and triethylene diamine. The use of a mild catalyst and a somewhat elevated temperature for the reaction is preferable to the use of strong catalysts and lower temperatures. Strong bases, such as sodium hydroxide or an alkoxide, should not be used, as a possibly resulting uncontrolled reaction may lead to an explosion.
The following examples illustrate the preparation of the various carboxylic acid-urea type derivatives and greases which contain them. The examples are only illustrative and are not intended to be limiting of the invention.

As can be seen from the extensive data embodied in the above table, greases which are prepared from mineral oils, synthetics, and mixtures of mineral and synthetic oils when thickened by the diamido, diimido, monoimido, urea, etc., of this invention display high dropping points and excellent unworked (P and worked (P penetrations. Of special significance are the relatively small differences between the worked and unworked penetrations. Additionally, the work breakdown penetration (P of selected samples showsexcellent resistance to shear for these greases. Note that the grease of Example 'I which employed 12-hydroxystearic acid as the amide-forming unit was, however, fluid at room temperature. Also, it may be noted that Example 18 in which thickener employed was prepared from a mixed abietyl amine had an ASTM dropping point of less than 300 F. and was essentially fluid in the penetration test. Thus, amines of this type are not suitable for the preparation of grease thickeners.
In addition to dropping point, penetration, and aging tests, greases thickened by monoamido-monoureas were subjected to high speed bearing performance tests. The particular test employed is known as the Navy High Speed Bearing Test as described in Federal Test Method 331.1. In this test, a ball bearing was operated at 10,000 rpm. continuously for approximately twenty-two hours at 350 F. The apparatus was then cooled to room temperature during a period of two hours. The procedure of operating at 10,000 r.p.m. at the noted temperature of cooling was repeated until there was bearing failure. The Bearing Life is the number of hours to bearing failure.
The thickeners employed in this test are as follows: X designates monoamidourea derived from stearic acid, 2,4- tolylene diisocyanate and p-toluidine. Y design-ates monoamidourea derived from stearric acid, diphenylmethane-4,4- diisocyanate and p-toluidine. Each sample contained 0.4% phenyl-alpha-naphthylamine and 2.0% dioctyldiphenylamine as corrosion and oxidation inhibitors. The oils employed in the tests are the same as referred to in Table I. Table II embodies the results of these tests:
As noted in the table, the mineral oil base grease had a bearing life of 172 and 130 hours respectively. This performance under 350 F. temperature is remarkable for a mineral oil. One hundred and fifty hours performance at 350 F. is equivalent to between 2,000 and 3,000 hours at 250. The Bearing Life of the synthetic oil-based grease was also very good.
Lubricating oils which can be used as base oils for the greases of this invention include a wide variety of oils, for example, naphthenic base, paraffin base, and mixedbased mineral lubricating oils; synthetic oils, such as polymers of propylene, butylene, etc.; propylene oxide polymers; dicarboxylic acid esters, such as those which are prepared by esterifying azelaic acid with Z-ethylhexyl alcohol; and silicon esters, such as tetraethyl silicate, hexa(4-methyl-2-pentoxy)-disiloxa11e, etc. Also, mixtures of synthetic and mineral lubricating oils may be employed.
The thickeners described in this specification are employed in amounts sufficient to thicken the oils to the consistency of grease, that is, in amounts ranging from 5 to 50% by weight, or preferably in amounts from to 30% by weight.
While the character of this invention has been described in detail with numerous examples, this has been done by way of illustration only and Without limitation of the invention. It will be applied to those skilled in the art that numerous modifications and variations of the illustrative examples may be made in the practice of the invention within the scope of the appended claims.
