Definitions
- This invention relates to a combination of additives that provides friction modifier benefits to lubricants and functional fluids, especially to power transmission fluids such as gear oils, automatic transmission fluids and fluids for continually variable transmissions.
- ATF automatic transmission fluid
- All ATFs should possess high oxidation stability, good viscometrics and low temperature properties, as well as good corrosion protection, anti-foaming and air separation properties.
- the friction properties measured by friction coefficients displayed in a graph, are key to providing satisfactory performance.
- the friction property of the ATF must be balanced such that there is sufficient friction to provide adequate power transmission whilst minimising shudder both on start up of the engine (the so called “green shudder”) and over the lifetime of the ATF. Excessive shudder causes driver discomfort and gives rise to an unacceptable noise level.
- the Original Equipment Manufacturer (hereafter "OEM”) specifies a minimum friction coefficient at a plate sliding speed of 5 rpm of 0.123 to provide the necessary power transmission to the axle, together with the requirement that the friction coefficient does not decrease with increasing plate sliding speed, ie the gradient of the curve in the graph of friction coefficient against increasing sliding speed is positive or zero; it must not be negative.
- the latter requirements is to minimise green shudder to an acceptable time period of no more than 0.2 hours (12 minutes).
- the ATF will function without noticeable shudder (once any green shudder has ceased) for at least 150,000 km o f automotive transmission operation.
- the minimum hours according to the Zahnradfarbik Friedrichschafen (hereafter "ZF”) ec3 test as defined is in the region of >100 hours.
- ATFs used hitherto containing conventional friction modifiers do not meet these requirements.
- FM friction modifiers
- ETHOMEEN® T-12 a tallow amine supplied by AKZO Chemicals, when incorporated in an ATF formulation at a treat level of 0.15% by wt. does not always meet the requirement for friction coefficient vs. sliding speed (0.123 at 5 rpm) and never achieves a durability of >100 hours.
- Prior published EP-A-0 713 908 describes an oil-based power transmission fluid composition, especially ATFs which contains inter alia at least one oil-soluble friction modifier which may be selected from aliphatic amines, aliphatic fatty acid amides, aliphatic carboxylic acids, aliphatic carboxylic esters, aliphatic carboxylic ester amides, aliphatic phosphonates, aliphatic phosphates, aliphatic thiophosphates and aliphatic thiophosphates etc wherein the aliphatic group contains more than 8 carbon atoms to render the compound suitably oil soluble.
- ATFs which contains inter alia at least one oil-soluble friction modifier which may be selected from aliphatic amines, aliphatic fatty acid amides, aliphatic carboxylic acids, aliphatic carboxylic esters, aliphatic carboxylic ester amides, aliphatic phosphonates, aliphatic phosphates, ali
- compositions of this invention are said to have the capability of exhibiting a positive slope in the plot of coefficient of friction versus sliding speed in the low speed SAE No. 2 Friction Test when performed with Ford Engineering Material Specification WSP-M2CZAA-A. Also, in clutch friction durability tests performed using the above method involving 20,000 cycles, the following results were achieved: ⁇ D in the range of 0.130-0.170; ⁇ S values (at 0.25 seconds) in the range of 0.110-0.155; low speed dynamic friction values in the range of 0.130-0.170; S1/D values in the range of 0.90-1.16; and stop times, in seconds, in the range of 0.70-1.0. It would be evident to those skilled in the art that this SAE-test cannot be read across for European OEMs, and hence it is not suitable for European design because it is a laboratory test rig which did not produce the specific results initially and, therefore, had to be abandoned.
- WO 99/02628 discloses friction modifiers including alkoxylated amines and a polyamide compound which is the reaction product of a polyamine containing from 2 to 60 total carbon atoms and from 3 to 15 nitrogen atoms with at least one of the nitrogen atoms present in the form of a primary amine group and at least two of the remaining nitrogen atoms present in the form of primary or secondary amine group and a carboxylic anhydride.
- EP 0748862 relates to lubrication composition, that may be used as automatic or manual transmission fluid, comprising a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity and at least one metal free thiophosphorus acid ester, at least one amine salt of the thiophosphorus acid ester, or a mixture thereof, wherein the metal free thiophosphorus acid ester contains at least one hydrocarbyl terminated oxyalkylene group, at least one hydrocarbyl terminated polyoxyalkylene group, or a mixture thereof.
- EP 812900 discloses a lubricating oil composition for automatic transmission comprising a sulfur-containing antioxidant or an amine type antioxidant, a phosphate or its amine salt and a reaction product of a carboxylic acid and an amine wherein the amine type antioxidant is chosen from alkylarylamines.
- WO 97/04049 discloses a friction modifier including an alkoxylated amine and a polyamide which is the reaction product of a carboxylic acids or anhydride with a polyamine containing from 2 to 60 total carbon atoms and from 3 to 15 nitrogen atoms with at least one of the nitrogen atom present in the form of a primary amine group and at least two of the remaining nitrogen atoms present in the form of primary or secondary amine groups.

- the fatty amide compound is a tertiary amide of the formula (II) wherein R, R 1 , R 2 , x and y are each independently as defined above for formula (I), both in respect of general and preferred embodiments.
- Suitable fatty amide compounds include the compound polyoxyethylene(5)oleamide sold under the trade name ETHOMID® 0/15 (ex Akzo Chemicals) which contains a mixture of C 12 to C 18 alkyl groups predominating in C 18 groups; and a fatty acid amide derived from lauric acid sold as COMPERLAN® LD (ex Henkel).

- the present invention provides a lubricant or functional fluid formulation comprising a major amount of base oil of lubricating viscosity and a minor amount of a friction modifier additive combination as defined above.
- the lubricant or functional fluid is suitably useable as a power transmission fluid, preferably as an automatic transmission fluid (ATF).
- ATF automatic transmission fluid
- the following description will focus on ATF formulations although it will be understood that the compositions of the present invention are not limited to such fluids but embraces within its scope other lubricant and functional fluids.
- ATFs typically have a kinematic viscosity at 100°C (KV 100 ) ranging from 2-15 mm 2 /s, preferably from 4-10 mm 2 /s, more preferably from 5-8 mm 2 /s measured according to the standard test procedure of ASTM D-446.
- the Brookfield viscosity at - 40°C is suitably less than 50,000 mPa s, preferably from 4,000-20,000 mPa s, and more preferably from 5,000-18,000 mPa s measured according to the standard test procedure of ASTM D-2983.
- the viscosity index is suitably in the range from 100-200, preferably from 150-200 measured according to the standard test procedure of ASTM D-2270.
- the amount of base oil contained in the ATF ranges from 50% by weight to 99.9%, suitably from 60-95% by weight and preferably from 70-90% by wt, based on the total weight of the ATF formulation.
- the amount of friction modifier additive combination present in the ATF formulation (ie the total amount of fatty amine and fatty amide) is broadly in the range from 0.05-1.2% by weight. Within this range the specific amount used will depend not only upon the friction properties desired but also, at least to some extent, upon the design of the automatic transmission. Thus the amount of friction modifier additive combination used is suitably in the range from 0.1-1% by weight, preferably from 0.2-0.8% by weight and more preferably from 0.3-0.6% by weight.

However, if desired, they may be diluted with a solvent, such as eg mineral oil, which is inert under the conditions especially with respect to the performance of the lubricant.
- the base oil of the ATF or other lubricant or functional fluid according to the invention may be a mineral oil, a synthetic oil or mixtures thereof.
- the base oils are suitably selected from refined mineral oils, for example, a solvent refined and/or hydrotreated oils, oils derived from coal tar or shale, vegetable oils, animal oils, hydrocracked oils, hydroisomerised oils, poly-alphaolefins (PAO), esters, alkylbenzenes, polyglycols, alkylene oxide polymers, silicone oils and the like.
- the base oil comprises a mineral oil
- it is suitably a solvent refined and/or hydrotreated oil.
- suitable oils of this type include inter alia solvent refined mineral oils in the range of 50N to 150N, preferably 80N to 130N.

- the base oil is a mix of mineral oils and synthetic oils, eg a mixture of one or more solvent refined mineral oils with PAOs; or a mixture of solvent refined mineral oil with white oil, a hydrocracked oil or a hydroisomerised oil as stated above.
- the base oil is a mixture of solvent refined mineral oil, a PAO and white oil.
- the functional fluid formulations of the present invention may also contain other optional additives depending upon the intended use of the functional fluid.
- additives include inter alia viscosity index improvers, pour point depressants, antioxidants, anti-wear agents, extreme pressure additives, dispersants, detergents, corrosion inhibitors, erosion inhibitors, anti-foaming agents, seal swell conditioning agents (seal fix), anti-pitting agents and the like.
- Such additives are all commercially available, the choice of one or more of these and the amounts of each used depending upon the intended end use of the functional fluid.
- a viscosity index improver would typically be included in the functional fluids at a treat level of 2-15% by weight based on active ingredient (ie excluding solvent and carrier fluids, if any), preferably from 2-10% by weight, and the other additives would typically be included in the functional fluids at a treat level of 0.01-5% by weight based on active ingredient.
