Description
The present invention relates to new reaction products and to their use in improving the properties of functional fluids.
In a pending patent application GB No. 2156813, we have described new N-substituted compounds, useful as metal deactivators in functional fluids, and having the formula: ##STR3## in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are the same or different and each is C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.20 alkenyl, C.sub.5 -C.sub.12 cycloalkyl, C.sub.7 -C.sub.13 aralkyl, C.sub.6 -C.sub.10 aryl, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are each attached may form a 5-, 6- or 7-membered heterocyclic residue, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is each a residue of formula:
in which X is O, S or N(R.sub.3), R.sub.3 is hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkyl, "alkylene" is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkylene residue and n is O or an integer from 1 to 6, or R.sub.1 has its previous significance and R.sub.2 is a residue of formula: ##STR4## or R.sub.2 is a residue of formula: ##STR5## and R.sub.1 is a residue of formula: ##STR6## wherein, m is zero or 1 and, when m is zero, A is a residue of formula: ##STR7## and, when m is 1,

Moreover, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,456,539, there are described the reaction products of:

The reactants (B) are known, and many are commercially-available.
The new reaction products have improved solubility in functional fluids and have valuable properties as metal deactivators and as antioxidants in functional fluids.
Accordingly, the present invention also provides a composition comprising a functional fluid, and as metal deactivator, especially for copper, a metal deactivating proportion, preferably 0.001% to 5% by weight, based on total composition, of a reaction product according to the invention. Examples of functional fluids useful as substrates for the compositions of the invention are lubricants having a mineral oil, poly-alpha olefin or synthetic carboxylic ester base; hydraulic fluids based on mineral oils, phosphate esters, metal-working fluids having, as their base, mineral oil systems; and transformer and switch oils.
Examples of synthetic lubricants include lubricants based on a diester of a dibasic acid and a monohydric alcohol, for instance dioctyl sebacate or dinonyl adipate; on a triester of trimethylol propane and a monobasic acid or mixture of such acids, for instance trimethylol propane tripelargonate, trimethylol propane tricaprylate or mixtures thereof; on a tetraester of pentaerythritol and a monobasic acid or mixture of such acids, for instance pentaerythritol tetracaprylate; or on complex esters derived from monobasic acids, dibasic acids and polyhydric alcohols, for instance a complex ester derived from trimethylol propane, caprylic acid and sebacic acid; or of mixtures thereof.
Other synthetic lubricants are those known to the art-skilled and described e.g. in "Schmiermittel-Taschenbuch" (Huethig Verlag, Heidelberg 1974). Especially suitable, apart from the preferred mineral oils are e.g. phosphates, glycols, polyglycols, polyalkylene glycols and poly-alpha olefins.
For use in oil-based functional fluids, reaction products of the invention are preferred which are derived from reactants IA or IB in which R.sub.8 and/or R.sub.9 is an oleophilic group.
In order to improve various applicational properties, the compositions of the invention may also contain other additives such as, for oil-based systems, one or more of antioxidants, other metal deactivators, rust inhibitors, viscosity-index improvers, pour-point depressants, dispersants/surfactants or anti-wear additives; and for aqueous-based systems, one or more of antioxidants, corrosion- and rust inhibitors, further metal deactivators, extreme pressure- or anti-wear additives, complexing agents, precipitation inhibitors, biocides, buffering agents and anti-foams.

The following Examples further illustrate the present invention. All parts and percentages given therein are by weight.
EXAMPLE 1
A mixture of 69 grams of 1,2,4-triazole and 771 grams of zinc bis[(O,O'-di-2-ethylhexyl)dithiophosphate] is gradually heated to a temperature of 95.degree. C. with stirring. After the resulting mixture has been stirred at the temperature for a period of two hours, the resulting reaction produced is clear and the reaction was discontinued at this stage. Stirring is continued whilst the product cools to room temperature. The final product is a clear yellow viscous oil.
EXAMPLE 2
A mixture of 322 g 1-(di-2-ethylhexylaminomethyl)-1,2,4-triazole and 771 grams of zinc bis[(O,O'-di-2-ethylhexyl) dithiophosphate] is gradually heated to a temperature of 95.degree. C. with stirring. After the resulting mixture has been stirred at this temperature for a period of 30 minutes the resulting reaction product is clear and the reaction is discontinued at this stage. Stirring is continued whilst the product cools to room temperature. The final product is a clear yellow oil.
EXAMPLES 3 AND 4
A 0.05% solution of the product of Example 1 or 2 is prepared in a turbine quality mineral oil containing 50 ppm of added, dissolved sulphur.
A copper strip (60.times.10.times.1 mm) is polished with 100 grade silicon carbide grit which has been picked up on cotton wool wetted with petroleum ether. The polished strip is then immediately totally immersed in the prepared solution which is maintained at 100.degree. C. for 2 hours. After this time, the strip is removed, washed with petroleum ether, dried and its colour is compared with those of the ASTM D130 Copper Strip Corrosion Standard Chart. On this rating, 1 represents zero to slight tarnish; 2 represents moderate tarnish; 3 represents dark tarnish; and 4 represents corrosion; the designations A, B and D indicate shadings within the numerical gradings.
The results are set out in the following Table I:
1,2,4-Triazole did not have the required solubility (0.05%) in the mineral oil in order for it to be submitted to this test.
EXAMPLES 5 AND 6
Turbine Oil Stability Test (TOST)--modified ASTM D943
300 mls of a test oil comprising 99.70% by weight of a petroleum-based oil, 0.25% by weight of the product of Example 1 or 2 and 0.05% by weight of partially-esterified dodecenyl succinic acid is heated to 95.degree. C. in the presence of 60 mls of water, oxygen at a flow rate of 3.+-.0.5 liters/hour and an iron-copper catalyst. After 500 hours, the oxidised oil is filtered through a 10 micron filter paper to determine the amount of sludge formed during the test.
The results are summarised in Table II:
EXAMPLES 7 TO 14
Using the procedure described in Example 1, further reaction products according to the invention were produced by reacting specific compounds having the formula IB: ##STR15## with various compounds of formula III: ##STR16##
The reaction products so obtained were then evaluated in the copper strip test (using the procedure described in Examples 3 and 4) and in the turbine oil stability test (TOST) (see Examples 5 and 6).
The results are summarised in Table III:
EXAMPLE 15
Using the procedure described in Example 1, 1-[di-(2-ethylhexyl)aminomethyl]-methylbenzotriazole is reacted with zinc bis[(O,O'-di-2-ethylhexyl)dithiophosphate].
The reaction product so obtained gave a copper strip rating (see Examples 3 and 4) of 1A and a sludge value in the turbine oil stability test (TOST)--see Examples 5 and 6--of 99 mg.
