Abstract
Lubricant compositions which exhibit excellent anti-wear, corrosion, and oxidative thermal properties are prepared by adding from 0.06 to 2.0% of a partial phosphorous pentasulfide adduct of a polycyanoethylated keto fatty ester to a base oil. The base oil may be either a synthetic diester oil or a standard test petroleum oil such as paraffin mineral oil.
Claims10
A lubricant composition comprising a major proportion of a lubricating oil to which has been added from about 0.06 to about 2.0 weight percent of an additive which is a partial phosphorus pentasulfide adduct of a polycyanoethylated keto fatty ester, said adduct prepared by reacting a keto fatty ester selected from the group consisting of methyl-12-ketostearate and a mixed keto ester containing about 85% of methyl 9,10-ketostearate and about 15% of ketones having from 14 to 20 carbon atoms in their chain lengths with acrylonitrile and then reacting the resultant polycyanoethylated keto fatty ester with phosphorus pentasulfide at a molar ratio of about 7 to 1, respectively, at about 100.degree. C for about 1 hour until about one-half of the cyanoethyl groups are reacted.
A lubricant additive comprising the product of the reaction of a polycyanoethyl keto fatty ester and phosphorus pentasulfide wherein only about one-half of the cyanoethyl groups of the keto ester are reacted, said polycyanoethyl keto fatty ester having been prepared by reacting a keto fatty ester selected from the group consisting of methyl-12-ketostearate and a mixed keto ester containing about 85% of methyl 9,10-ketostearate and about 15% of ketones having from 14 to 20 carbon atoms in their chain lengths with acrylonitrile.
