[0026] Detailed Description In one aspect, the present disclosure provides novel, high performance, sustainable, non-fossil lubricants comprising non-fossil hydrocarbon molecular structures derived from sustainable plant biomass. In some embodiments, the lubricants of the present disclosure outperform traditional high performance synthetic petroleum products, are cost-competitive with synthetic oils, have direct drop-in compatibility with current systems, meet or exceed 19 applicable American Petroleum Institute (API) certifications, and / or are viable alternatives to inferior petroleum-based lubricants.

[0027] definition As used in the preceding paragraph and throughout the remainder of the specification, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. All patents and publications referenced herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety.

[0028] The term "olefin" as used herein refers to a hydrocarbon containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond. For example, according to aspects disclosed herein, an olefin can include a hydrocarbon chain length of C14 to C18 and can have the double bond at the end (primary position) or at an internal position (internal olefin) of the hydrocarbon chain (alpha-olefin). In one embodiment, the olefin is a mono-olefin, meaning that the olefin contains only a single double bond group.

[0029] The term "dimer" as used herein refers to a molecule formed by the combination of two monomers via a chemical process, where the monomer units in the monomers may be of the same type or different types. Dimers may be formed by chemical reactions and / or other types of bonding between the monomers. In one embodiment, a dimer is the product of oligomerization between two olefin monomers. In one embodiment, a trimer is the product of oligomerization between three olefin monomers. In one embodiment, a tetramer is the product of oligomerization between four olefin monomers. In one embodiment, a pentamer is the product of oligomerization between five olefin monomers.

[0030] The term "dimer total average carbon number" is used herein to refer to the total number of carbons in a dimer. Thus, a "C29-C36" dimer referred to herein is a dimer having a total average number of carbon atoms in the range of 29-36.

However, the chemical nature of the various additives is known to those skilled in the art. For example, alkali metal sulfonates and phenates are well-known detergents, and PIBSA (polyisobutylene succinic anhydride) and PIBSA-PAM (polyisobutylene succinic anhydride amine), with or without boration, are well-known and used dispersants. VI improvers and pour point depressants include acrylic polymers and copolymers such as polymethacrylates, polyalkyl methacrylates, and olefin copolymers, copolymers of vinyl acetate and ethylene, dialkyl fumarates and vinyl acetates, and others known. The most widely used anti-wear additives are the ashless types including metal dialkyl dithiophosphates such as ZDDP where the metal is zinc, metal carbamates and dithiocarbamates, ethoxylated amine dialkyl dithiophosphates and dithiobenzoates.

EXAMPLES

[0106] The embodiments encompassed herein will now be described with reference to the following examples, which are provided for illustrative purposes only, and the disclosure encompassed herein should in no way be construed as being limited to these examples, but rather as encompassing any and all variations that become evident as a result of the teachings provided herein.

[0107] Example 1: Lubricant 0W-40 A lubricant 0W-40 was prepared containing the following components as shown in Table 1.

[0108] [Table 1]

[0109] The analyses were performed according to the ASTM test procedures used without deviation or modification. The precision of these test results should be consistent with that stated in the referenced test procedures. The test results are shown in Tables 2 and 3 below.

[0111] [Table 3]

[0112] Example 2: Synthetic hydraulic oil (ISO 32 / 46 / 68) Hydraulic oils (ISO 32 / 46 / 68) were prepared containing the following components as shown in Table 4. The physical and chemical properties are shown in Table 5.

[0113] [Table 4]

[0114] [Table 5]

[0115] Example 3: Specifications of the lubricants of the present disclosure 1-13 provide non-limiting examples of specifications for the lubricants disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the lubricants of the present disclosure include one or more of the specifications set forth in FIGS.

[0116] Example 4: 15W-40 diesel engine oil A 15W-40 diesel engine oil was prepared containing the following components as shown in Table 6. [Table 6]

[0117] Example 5: Tractor Fluid (THF 1000) A tractor fluid (THF 1000) was prepared containing the following components as shown in Table 7:

[0118] [Table 7]

[0119] Example 6: Renewable ECORSA Motorsport Racing Oil [Table 8]

[0120] Example 7: Ecolabel hydraulic oil [Table 9]

[0121] Example 8: Lubricant Additive Package [Table 10]

[0122] Example 9: Racing Oil [Table 11] [Table 12]

[0123] Example 10: 15W-40 CK-4 & 10W-30 CK-4 oil [Table 13] [Table 14]

[0124] Example 11: Components of Lubricant Variations [Table 15]

[0125] Example 12: 10W-30 CK-4 engine oil Initially, the 10W-30 CK-4 engine oil contained Chevron Oronite Additive OLOA 61105 additive. Total Base Number (TBN) is a property that measures the ability of an oil to neutralize acids formed during engine operation. Generally, oils with a higher TBN are better able to neutralize acids and combustion by-products, resulting in longer oil life and improved protection from corrosion. For high performance, the TBN was set at 12.

[0126] A sample of 10W-30 CK-4 engine oil containing Chevron Oronite Additive OLOA 61105 additive was tested and found to have a sulfated ash content of 1.36%, which is above specification and has a TBN close to 13.79. While not wishing to be bound by any particular theory, it is hypothesized that this is due to setting a high TBN.

[0127] It was then reformulated into a 10W-30 CK-4 engine oil, setting a guideline TBN of 10. The sample was then tested and measured to have a sulfated ash score of 1.09%, which was outside of specification.

[0128] The 10W-30 CK-4 engine oil was then reformulated to remove Chevron Oronite Additive OLOA 61105, which was replaced with Infineum D3503L. These samples received 0.9% sulfated ash with a TBN of 8.62 and a treat rate of 14.6%. This formulation increased the overall renewable base oil content by 1.5% and reduced the VI content treat rate by 0.1%, allowing for higher performance and resulting in a higher TBN at a lower treat rate compared to engine oils containing Chevron Oronite Additive OLOA 61105.
