Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a metalworking fluid and its preparation method, belonging to the field of metalworking fluid technology. Background Technology

[0002] Phosphorus-containing additives are already used in industrial production of gear oils, engine oils, and metalworking fluids, and their versatility makes these products widely applicable. Phosphate esters are high-quality additives, among which polyoxyethylene ether phosphate esters are an important branch of phosphate ester additives. Ordinary phosphate esters are highly lipophilic (low HLB value), poorly soluble in water, and require a large amount of emulsifier for stable dispersion. In contrast, polyoxyethylene ether phosphate esters, due to the hydrophilicity of the polyoxyethylene ether chain, have an HLB value that can be flexibly controlled by adjusting the degree of polymerization (n), possessing both hydrophilic and lipophilic properties. They can be directly dissolved in water to form a transparent solution, simplifying formulation design. Due to their unique molecular structure, they have certain surface activity and chemical stability, and have potential application value in the field of metalworking fluids.

[0003] As machinery manufacturing develops towards "precision and high load," metalworking fluid additives need to simultaneously meet the multi-functional requirements of lubrication, extreme pressure anti-wear, rust prevention, and emulsification. For example, precision electronic component processing fluids require "high transparency (to observe tool wear) + strong rust prevention (to avoid component corrosion) + stable emulsification (to prevent oil and water separation)," which traditional single-function additives can no longer meet.

[0004] Current literature reports on polyoxyethylene ether phosphate mainly focus on its synthesis process. There are relatively few reports on multifunctional additives with excellent lubrication, emulsification, rust prevention, cleaning, extreme pressure anti-wear properties, etc., and their performance still needs further optimization and improvement.

[0005] In recent years, some technologies have also introduced methods for synthesizing polyoxyethylene ether phosphates.

[0006] CN101125861A discloses a method for preparing fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether phosphate esters using fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether and polyphosphate as raw materials. However, this method is costly and its effectiveness is unsatisfactory.

[0007] CN114907902A discloses a method for synthesizing a polyoxyethylene ether phosphate composition with high phosphate diester content. This method uses saturated fatty alcohol and phosphorus pentoxide as raw materials, and synthesizes the product through two processes: isothermal reaction and hydrolysis. However, this method results in significant batch-to-batch product variability during industrial production, and the synthesis process is relatively complex.

[0008] Therefore, developing multifunctional polyoxyethylene ether phosphate additives suitable for metalworking fluids, and enabling metalworking fluids to have good extreme pressure anti-wear properties, lubricity, rust prevention, corrosion prevention and emulsification properties, remains one of the urgent problems to be solved in this field.

[0110] As can be seen from the comparison results of Examples 1 and 2, and Comparative Example 2, under the same aliphatic chain conditions, the phosphate ester synthesized using polyoxyethylene ether with a shorter EO chain exhibits better extreme pressure anti-wear properties and lubrication performance. Examples 1 and 3, 4 show that the phosphate ester synthesized using high-aliphatic chain polyoxyethylene ether has better extreme pressure anti-wear properties. Comparison of Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 indicates that the phosphate ester using a polyether-type structure has relatively superior lubricity, extreme pressure anti-wear properties, and rust prevention. Comparison of Comparative Examples 3, 4 and Example 1 shows that fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether phosphate ester has a synergistic effect with benzotriazole (BTA) and triethanolamine (TEA), giving the metalworking fluid better extreme pressure anti-wear properties, lubricity, rust prevention, emulsification, defoaming, and corrosion prevention. However, Comparative Example 3, lacking the multifunctional additive, lacks the synergistic effect between fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether phosphate ester and benzotriazole (BTA), resulting in white spot corrosion of the metal. Comparative Example 4 did not add triethanolamine (TEA). The lack of TEA to neutralize the acidity made the pH value of the system unstable, which easily led to metal corrosion.
