Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a non - ash rust inhibitor and its preparation method, belonging to the technical field of rust inhibitor preparation. Background Art

[0002] To meet the requirements of harsh working conditions, extreme pressure and anti - wear agents containing active sulfur components are generally added to industrial oils. The introduction of active sulfur elements will corrode copper and steel components in the system. Moreover, since water will inevitably enter the oil during the working process, it will exacerbate the rusting of steel components. Therefore, in order to better protect mechanical components, a certain amount of rust inhibitor needs to be added to the oil.

[0003] In addition, as the precision of components is getting higher and higher, the requirement for the filterability of oils is also getting higher and higher. And ash - forming additives containing metal ions will affect the filterability of oils. Therefore, a non - ash rust inhibitor needs to be added to the oil. Currently, commonly used oil - soluble non - ash rust inhibitors include organic carboxylic acids / esters, organic amines and nitrogen - containing compounds, and heterocyclic compounds.

[0004] As is well known, compounds containing both carboxylic acid groups and hydroxyl functional groups can be used as non - ash rust inhibitors. For example, Patent US4409411 discloses the preparation of an alkyl succinic acid polyol ester non - ash rust inhibitor for rust prevention of fuel oils and lubricating oils; Patent US5055230 discloses a non - ash rust inhibitor containing hydroxyl groups, ester groups and carboxylic acid groups, which can be used for water - based or oil - based products.

[0005] Patent US4165292 discloses the preparation of an alkyl succinic acid amide non - ash rust inhibitor for rust prevention of lubricating oils. Patent US5275749 discloses an acylated aspartic acid derivative non - ash rust inhibitor. Patent US5254277 discloses a non - ash rust inhibitor of bis(hydroxyethyl) animal fat amine and its carboxylic acid ester for rust prevention of polyol esters.

[0006] In addition, due to competitive adsorption among them, many rust inhibitors will have an adverse effect on the performance of extreme pressure and anti - wear agents. Therefore, special attention needs to be paid to the compounding of rust inhibitors and extreme pressure and anti - wear agents. However, there is currently a lack of rust inhibitors that can achieve good cooperation with extreme pressure and anti - wear agents. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To solve the above - mentioned technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a non - ash rust inhibitor and its preparation method. This non - ash rust inhibitor not only has excellent rust - proof performance but also has good synergistic effects with extreme pressure and anti - wear agents.

[0008] To achieve the above - mentioned purpose, the present invention first provides a preparation method of a non - ash rust inhibitor, which includes the following steps:

[0079] Comparative Example 1

[0080] This comparative example provides a method for preparing an ashless rust inhibitor. The specific steps are the same as those in Example 1, except that stearic acid is used, and the obtained ashless rust inhibitor is AAR-a.

[0081] Comparative Example 2

[0082] This comparative example provides a method for preparing an ashless rust inhibitor. The specific steps are the same as those in Example 1, except that oleic acid is used, and the obtained ashless rust inhibitor is AAR-b.

[0083] Test Example:

[0084] The test oil products were blended according to the blending scheme in Table 1, and the liquid-phase rust inhibition performance of the ashless rust inhibitor AAR-1 and its influence on extreme pressure and anti-wear properties were tested. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0085] Table 1 Performance Evaluation of Ashless Rust Inhibitors

[0086]

[0087] Among them: The manufacturer of the extreme pressure and anti-wear agent IR353 is BASF;

[0088] The liquid-phase rust test (Method B) was carried out in accordance with the provisions of ASTM D665B;

[0089] The wear scar diameter was tested in accordance with the provisions of ASTM D4172.

[0090] It can be seen from Table 1 that AAR-1 has excellent rust inhibition performance. Only a dosage of 0.02% can achieve qualified liquid-phase rust inhibition, and it has a very good synergistic effect with the extreme pressure and anti-wear agent, enabling the extreme pressure and anti-wear agent to exhibit excellent extreme pressure and anti-wear properties at a very low dosage. For the commercially available product (IRGACOR L844 from BASF), a dosage of 0.03% is required for the liquid-phase rust inhibition to be qualified, and it will have a negative impact on the extreme pressure and anti-wear properties. A dosage of 0.03% of the extreme pressure and anti-wear agent needs to be added to reach the performance level of AAR-1.

[0091] Using stearic acid and oleic acid to replace dodecenyl succinic acid and dinonylnaphthalene sulfonic acid for compounding also cannot obtain qualified rust inhibition performance.

[0092] Using the same evaluation scheme to evaluate the ashless rust inhibitors in Examples 2 - 6, similar results can be obtained. It shows that the ashless rust inhibitor of the present invention has excellent rust inhibition performance and very good synergism with the extreme pressure and anti-wear agent, and can significantly reduce the dosage of the extreme pressure and anti-wear agent.

[0093] The above are typical embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the principles of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
