Light-colored sulfur-containing extreme pressure lubricant additives

Abstract

Extreme pressure lubricants, concentrates and greases. Disclosed herein are extreme pressure metal working lubricants which comprise a lubricant base material and a reaction product of (1) an amine containing from 1 to about 30 carbon atoms and (2) sulfamic acid or derivative thereof containing from 1 to about 30 carbon atoms. The reaction product or extreme pressure additive may be either water soluble or oil soluble. Amines containing from 1 to about 7 carbon atoms are generally used for making water soluble reaction products, and amines containing 8 or more (up to about 30) carbon atoms are generally used for making oil soluble reaction products. Water based lubricants comprise water and a water soluble reaction product. Oil based lubricants comprise an oil of lubricating viscosity and an oil soluble reaction product. Reaction products may be either addition products or sulfonamides.
