Definitions

  • the present invention relates to additives of esters between polyols and fatty acid mixtures and alkylphenol resins having improved oxidation stability, and to their use for improving the lubricity of highly desulfurized fuel oils.
  • Mineral oils and mineral oil distillates used as fuel oils generally contain 0.5% by weight and more sulfur which causes the formation of sulfur dioxide upon combustion. In order to reduce the resulting environmental impact, the sulfur content of fuel oils is lowered further and further.
  • the EN 590 standard relating to diesel fuels has prescribed a maximum sulfur content of 350 ppm in Europe since November 1999. Further reductions of the sulfur content are in preparation. In Scandinavia fuel oils of less than 50 ppm and in exceptional cases less than 10 ppm of sulfur are used. These fuel oils are usually prepared by hydrogenating the fractions obtained from the petroleum by distillation. In the desulfurization but other substances are removed, which give the fuel oils a natural lubricating effect. These substances include polyaromatic and polar compounds.
  • EP-A-0 680 506 discloses that esters of fatty acids impart improved lubricity to highly desulfurized fuel oils.
  • esters of fatty acids impart improved lubricity to highly desulfurized fuel oils.
  • glycerol monooleate and diisodecyl adipate are mentioned.
  • EP-A-0 739 970 discloses the suitability of glycerol ester blends for improving the lubricity of low sulfur fuel oils. Compositions of different degrees of esterification of the polyol and different degrees of saturation of the fatty acids are disclosed.
  • EP-A-0 839 174 discloses in its lubricity improved fuel oils which are low in sulfur and comprise a mixture of polyol esters with unsaturated fatty acids.
  • EP 0743972 discloses improved lubricity fuel oils comprising a lubricity enhancer and a nitrogen compound.
  • EP 0935645 discloses the use of C 1 -C 30 alkylphenol resins as lubricity additives for low sulfur diesel.
  • the examples used are C 18 and C 24 alkylphenol resins.
  • WO-99/61562 discloses blends of alkylphenol resins, nitrogen containing compounds and ethylene copolymers as refrigerants and lubricity additives for low sulfur diesel.
  • WO 01/19941 discloses partial esters of polyhydric alcohols with unsaturated fatty acids (pentaerythritol esterified with tall oil fatty acid) as lubricity additives with improved cold stability.
  • the lubricity additives based on unsaturated fatty acids and their derivatives can, on prolonged storage of the additive as well as of the additized oils, in particular, harden at elevated temperature to give only partially oil-soluble products. This can lead to the formation of viscous precipitates and deposits in the storage container of the additive, in the fuel oil as well as in the engine. So are z.
  • the combustion and condensation products of glycerin are suspected of being responsible for coke residues and deposits on the supercharged diesel engine injectors.
  • the fatty acid esters of the prior art based on commercial fatty acid mixtures also show marked emulsification tendency in the fuel oils additized with them. This means that when such a fuel oil comes in contact with water, emulsification of the water in the fuel oil takes place.
  • These emulsions which can be found in particular at the oil / water interface, can not be separated or can be separated only with great effort. Since these emulsions can not be used as such as fuel oils, they reduce the value of the products. This problem is particularly pronounced when esters based on natural fatty acid mixtures are used.
  • the object of the present invention was therefore to find lubricant-improving additives for desulfurized fuel oils, which have an improved oxidation stability compared to the prior art and at the same time an improved effectiveness as a lubricant additive.
  • Another object of the invention are fuel oils with a maximum of 0.035 wt .-% sulfur content containing the additives of the invention.
  • Another object of the invention is the use of the additives according to the invention for improving the lubricity of fuel oils with at most 0.035 wt .-% sulfur content.
  • Another object of the invention is a method for improving the lubricity of fuel oils having a sulfur content of not more than 0.035 wt .-% by adding the inventive additives to the fuel oils.
  • Preferred fatty acids which are part of the esters A) are those with 10 to 26 C atoms, in particular 12 to 22 C atoms.
  • the alkyl radicals or alkenyl radicals of the fatty acids consist essentially of carbon and hydrogen. However, they may carry other substituents such as hydroxy, halogen, amino or nitro groups, provided they do not affect the predominantly hydrocarbon character.
  • the fatty acids preferably contain at least one double bond. They may contain multiple double bonds, for example 2 or 3 double bonds, and be of natural or synthetic origin. In the case of polyunsaturated carboxylic acids, their double bonds may be isolated or else conjugated. Preference is given to mixtures of two or more unsaturated fatty acids having 10 to 26 carbon atoms.
  • fatty acids or fatty acid mixtures contain one or more double bonds.
  • the iodine numbers of the fatty acids or fatty acid mixtures on which the esters according to the invention are based are preferably above 100 g J / 100 g, more preferably between 105 and 190 g J / 100 g, in particular between 110 and 180 g J / 100 g and especially between 120 and 180 gl / 100 g fatty acid or fatty acid mixture.
  • Suitable unsaturated fatty acids are, for example, oil, eruca, palmitoleic, myristoleic, linoleic, linolenic, elaeosterolic, arachidonic and / or ricinoleic acid.
  • fatty acids are dicarboxylic acids, such as dimer fatty acids and alkyl- and alkenylsuccinic acids with C 8 -C 50 -alk (en) yl radicals, preferably with C 8 -C 40 -, in particular with C 12 -C 22 -alkyl radicals.
  • the alkyl radicals can be linear or branched (oligomerized alkenes, polyisobutylene) and saturated or unsaturated.
  • the dicarboxylic acids can be used as such or in mixtures with monocarboxylic acids, mixtures of dicarboxylic acids of up to 10% by weight, in particular less than 5% by weight, being preferred in mixtures.
  • the fatty acid mixtures may contain minor amounts, ie up to 20 wt .-%, preferably less than 10%, in particular less than 5% and especially less than 2% of saturated fatty acids such as lauric, tridecane, myristic, pentadecane, palmitic, margarine, stearic, isostearin , Arachin and behenic acid.
  • saturated fatty acids such as lauric, tridecane, myristic, pentadecane, palmitic, margarine, stearic, isostearin , Arachin and behenic acid.
  • the fatty acids may further contain 1-40, especially 1-25 wt .-%, in particular 1-5 wt .-% resin acids.
  • Suitable alcohols preferably contain 2 to 6, in particular 3 to 4 Kohlenstorfatome, and 2 to 5, in particular 3 to 4 hydroxyl groups, but at most one hydroxyl group per carbon atom.
  • Particularly suitable alcohols are ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, trimethylolpropane, neopentyl glycol and pentaerythritol and the oligomers having from 2 to 10 monomer units obtainable therefrom by condensation, such as, for example, polyglycerol.
  • the partial esters can be prepared from alcohols and fatty acids in a known manner by esterification. Alternatively, the partial saponification of naturally occurring fats and oils is possible.
  • Esters according to the invention are those which can be prepared from a dihydric or polyhydric alcohol and a fatty acid or a mixture of fatty acids. In this case, mixtures of, for example, mono-, di- and / or triesters, or optionally higher esters, of an alcohol with different fatty acids, of mono-, di- and / or triesters, or optionally higher esters, of different alcohols with different fatty acids , as well as mixtures of mono-, di- and / or triesters, or optionally higher esters, of one or more alcohols with different fatty acids. Preference is given to those esters which can be prepared from a fatty acid mixture.
  • the esters according to the invention preferably have iodine numbers of more than 50 g / 100 g of ester, more preferably between 90 and 200 g / 100 g of ester, in particular between 100 and 180 g / 100 g of ester and especially between 110 and 150 g / 100 g ester.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft Additive aus Estern zwischen Polyolen und Fettsäuregemischen und Alkylphenolharzen mit verbesserter Oxidationsstabilität, sowie deren Verwendung zur Verbesserung der Schmierwirkung von hochentschwefelten Brennstoffölen.The present invention relates to additives of esters between polyols and fatty acid mixtures and alkylphenol resins having improved oxidation stability, and to their use for improving the lubricity of highly desulfurized fuel oils.

Mineralöle und Mineralöldestillate, die als Brennstofföle verwendet werden, enthalten im allgemeinen 0,5 Gew.-% und mehr Schwefel, der bei der Verbrennung die Bildung von Schwefeldioxid verursacht. Um die daraus resultierenden Umweltbelastungen zu vermindern, wird der Schwefelgehalt von Brennstoffölen immer weiter abgesenkt. Die Dieseltreibstoffe betreffende Norm EN 590 schreibt in Europa seit November 1999 einen maximalen Schwefelgehalt von 350 ppm vor. Weitere Absenkungen des Schwefelgehalts sind in Vorbereitung. In Skandinavien kommen bereits Brennstofföle mit weniger als 50 ppm und in Ausnahmefällen mit weniger als 10 ppm Schwefel zur Anwendung. Diese Brennstofföle werden in der Regel dadurch hergestellt, dass man die aus dem Erdöl durch Destillation erhaltenen Fraktionen hydrierend raffiniert. Bei der Entschwefelung werden aber auch andere Substanzen entfernt, die den Brennstoffölen eine natürliche Schmierwirkung verleihen. Zu diesen Substanzen zählen unter anderem polyaromatische und polare Verbindungen.Mineral oils and mineral oil distillates used as fuel oils generally contain 0.5% by weight and more sulfur which causes the formation of sulfur dioxide upon combustion. In order to reduce the resulting environmental impact, the sulfur content of fuel oils is lowered further and further. The EN 590 standard relating to diesel fuels has prescribed a maximum sulfur content of 350 ppm in Europe since November 1999. Further reductions of the sulfur content are in preparation. In Scandinavia fuel oils of less than 50 ppm and in exceptional cases less than 10 ppm of sulfur are used. These fuel oils are usually prepared by hydrogenating the fractions obtained from the petroleum by distillation. In the desulfurization but other substances are removed, which give the fuel oils a natural lubricating effect. These substances include polyaromatic and polar compounds.

Es hat sich nun aber gezeigt, dass die reibungs- und verschleißmindernden Eigenschaften von Brennstoffölen mit zunehmendem Entschwefelungsgrad schlechter werden. Oftmals sind diese Eigenschaften so mangelhaft, dass an den vom Kraftstoff geschmierten Materialien, wie z.B. den Verteiler-Einspritzpumpen von Dieselmotoren schon nach kurzer Zeit mit Fraßerscheinungen gerechnet werden muss. Der gemäß EN 590 seit dem Jahr 2000 festgesetzte Maximalwert für den 95%-Destillationspunkt von maximal 360°C und die mittlerweile in Skandinavien vorgenommene weitere Absenkung des 95%-Destillationspunkts auf unter 350°C und teilweise unter 330°C verschärft diese Problematik weiter.
Im Stand der Technik sind daher Ansätze beschrieben, die eine Lösung dieses Problems darstellen sollen (sogenannte Lubricity-Additive).
However, it has now been shown that the friction and wear-reducing properties of fuel oils deteriorate with increasing degree of desulfurization. Often, these properties are so poor that on the lubricated by the fuel materials, such as the distributor injection pumps of diesel engines after a short time must be expected with feeding phenomena. The maximum value set for the 95% distillation point of maximum 360 ° C according to EN 590 since 2000 and the further lowering of the 95% distillation point to below 350 ° C, which has meanwhile been carried out in Scandinavia and sometimes below 330 ° C further aggravates this problem.
The prior art therefore describes approaches which are intended to provide a solution to this problem (so-called lubricity additives).

EP-A-0 680 506 discloses that esters of fatty acids impart improved lubricity to highly desulfurized fuel oils. In particular, glycerol monooleate and diisodecyl adipate are mentioned.

Es werden Zusammensetzungen verschiedener Veresterungsgrade des Polyols und verschiedener Sättigungsgrade der Fettsäuren offenbart. EP-A-0 739 970 discloses the suitability of glycerol ester blends for improving the lubricity of low sulfur fuel oils. Compositions of different degrees of esterification of the polyol and different degrees of saturation of the fatty acids are disclosed.

EP-A-0 839 174 offenbart in ihrer Schmierwirkung verbesserte Brennstofföle, die schwefelarm sind und eine Mischung von Polyolestern mit ungesättigten Fettsäuren umfassen. EP-A-0 839 174 discloses in its lubricity improved fuel oils which are low in sulfur and comprise a mixture of polyol esters with unsaturated fatty acids.

Diese können unter anderem auch schwefelarmen Dieselölen als Schmieradditive zugesetzt werden. DE 19614722 discloses mixtures of partial esters of highly unsaturated fatty acids with various polyols having improved low temperature stability. Among other things, these can also be added to low-sulfur diesel oils as lubricating additives.

EP 0935645 discloses the use of C 1 -C 30 alkylphenol resins as lubricity additives for low sulfur diesel. The examples used are C 18 and C 24 alkylphenol resins.

WO-99/61562 discloses blends of alkylphenol resins, nitrogen containing compounds and ethylene copolymers as refrigerants and lubricity additives for low sulfur diesel.

WO 01/19941 offenbart Partialester mehrwertiger Alkohole mit ungesättigten Fettsäuren (Pentaerythritol verestert mit Tallölfettsäure) als Lubricity-Additive mit verbesserter Kältestabilität. WO 01/19941 discloses partial esters of polyhydric alcohols with unsaturated fatty acids (pentaerythritol esterified with tall oil fatty acid) as lubricity additives with improved cold stability.

Die auf ungesättigten Fettsäuren und deren Derivaten basierenden Lubricity-Additive können bei längerer Lagerung des Additivs wie auch der additivierten Öle insbesondere unter erhöhter Temperatur zu nur noch bedingt öllöslichen Produkten verharzen. Dies kann zur Bildung von viskosen Ausscheidungen und Ablagerungen im Lagerbehälter des Additivs, im Brennstofföl wie auch im Motor führen. So stehen z. B. die Verbrennungs- und Kondensationsprodukte des Glycerins im Verdacht, für Koksrückstände und Ablagerungen an den Einspritzdüsen hochaufgeladener Dieselmotoren verantwortlich zu sein.The lubricity additives based on unsaturated fatty acids and their derivatives can, on prolonged storage of the additive as well as of the additized oils, in particular, harden at elevated temperature to give only partially oil-soluble products. This can lead to the formation of viscous precipitates and deposits in the storage container of the additive, in the fuel oil as well as in the engine. So are z. For example, the combustion and condensation products of glycerin are suspected of being responsible for coke residues and deposits on the supercharged diesel engine injectors.

Die Wirksamkeit der derzeit eingesetzten Lubricity-Additive ist oftmals unbefriedigend, so daß entweder sehr hohe Dosierraten oder Synergisten eingesetzt werden müssen.The effectiveness of the currently used lubricity additives is often unsatisfactory, so that either very high dosing or synergists must be used.

Die auf kommerziellen Fettsäuremischungen basierenden Fettsäureester des Standes der Technik zeigen zudem in den mit ihnen additivierten Brennstoffölen eine ausgeprägte Emulgierneigung. Das bedeutet, dass bei Kontakt eines solchen Brennstofföls mit Wasser eine Emulgierung des Wassers im Brennstofföl stattfindet. Diese insbesondere an der Phasengrenze Öl/Wasser anzutreffenden Emulsionen lassen sich nicht oder nur unter großem Aufwand trennen. Da diese Emulsionen als solche nicht als Brennstofföle eingesetzt werden können, mindern sie den Wert der Produkte. Besonders stark tritt dieses Problem dann hervor, wenn auf natürlichen Fettsäuregemischen basierende Ester verwendet werden.The fatty acid esters of the prior art based on commercial fatty acid mixtures also show marked emulsification tendency in the fuel oils additized with them. This means that when such a fuel oil comes in contact with water, emulsification of the water in the fuel oil takes place. These emulsions, which can be found in particular at the oil / water interface, can not be separated or can be separated only with great effort. Since these emulsions can not be used as such as fuel oils, they reduce the value of the products. This problem is particularly pronounced when esters based on natural fatty acid mixtures are used.

Aufgabe vorliegender Erfindung war daher, schmierverbessernde Zusätze für entschwefelte Brennstofföle zu finden, die eine gegenüber dem Stand der Technik verbesserte Oxidationsstabilität und gleichzeitig eine verbesserte Wirksamkeit als Lubricity-Additiv aufweisen.The object of the present invention was therefore to find lubricant-improving additives for desulfurized fuel oils, which have an improved oxidation stability compared to the prior art and at the same time an improved effectiveness as a lubricant additive.

Überraschenderweise wurde gefunden, dass Kombinationen von Partialestern aus ungesättigten Fettsäuren und Polyolen mit Alkylphenol-Aldehydharzen eine deutlich verbesserte Oxidationsstabilität aufweisen und bei ausgewählten Kombinationen aus Hydroxylzahl und Jodzahl eine besonders geringe Emulgierfähigkeit aufweisen. Des weiteren zeigen sie in schwefelarmen Brennstoffölen eine den Einzelbestandteilen überlegene Schmierwirkung.Surprisingly, it has been found that combinations of partial esters of unsaturated fatty acids and polyols with alkylphenol-aldehyde resins have a markedly improved oxidation stability and have a particularly low emulsifiability in selected combinations of hydroxyl number and iodine number. Of Further, they show in sulfur-poor fuel oils superior to the individual components lubricity.

Die Partialester sind aus Alkoholen und Fettsäuren in bekannter Weise durch Veresterung herstellbar. Alternativ ist auch die partielle Verseifung natürlich vorkommender Fette und Öle möglich. Erfindungsgemäße Ester sind solche, die aus einem zwei- oder mehrwertigen Alkohol und einer Fettsäure oder einem Gemisch von Fettsäuren herstellbar sind. Hierbei sind sowohl Mischungen beispielsweise aus Mono-, Di- und/oder Triestern, oder ggf. höheren Estern, eines Alkohols mit verschiedenen Fettsäuren, aus Mono-, Di- und/oder Triestern, oder ggf. höheren Estern, verschiedener Alkohole mit verschiedenen Fettsäuren, als auch aus Mischungen von Mono-, Di- und/oder Triestern, oder ggf. höheren Estern, eines oder mehrerer Alkohole mit verschiedenen Fettsäuren umfasst. Bevorzugt sind solche Ester, die aus einem Fettsäuregemisch herstellbar sind.The partial esters can be prepared from alcohols and fatty acids in a known manner by esterification. Alternatively, the partial saponification of naturally occurring fats and oils is possible. Esters according to the invention are those which can be prepared from a dihydric or polyhydric alcohol and a fatty acid or a mixture of fatty acids. In this case, mixtures of, for example, mono-, di- and / or triesters, or optionally higher esters, of an alcohol with different fatty acids, of mono-, di- and / or triesters, or optionally higher esters, of different alcohols with different fatty acids , as well as mixtures of mono-, di- and / or triesters, or optionally higher esters, of one or more alcohols with different fatty acids. Preference is given to those esters which can be prepared from a fatty acid mixture.

Bevorzugt weisen die erfindungsgemäßen Ester Jodzahlen von mehr als 50 g l/100 g Ester auf, besonders bevorzugt liegen sie zwischen 90 und 200 g l/100 g Ester, insbesondere zwischen 100 und 180 g l/100 g Ester und speziell zwischen 110 und 150 g l/100 g Ester. Die Jodzahlen ergeben sich aus der Jodzahl des zugrundeliegenden Fettsäuregemischs und dem zur Veresterung verwendeten Alkohol in stöchiometrischer Weise.The esters according to the invention preferably have iodine numbers of more than 50 g / 100 g of ester, more preferably between 90 and 200 g / 100 g of ester, in particular between 100 and 180 g / 100 g of ester and especially between 110 and 150 g / 100 g ester. The iodine numbers result from the iodine value of the basic fatty acid mixture and the alcohol used for the esterification in a stoichiometric manner.

Bevorzugt sind ebenfalls Partialester, deren OH-Zahlen zwischen 10 und 200 mg KOH/g Ester liegen, besonders bevorzugt zwischen 100 und 200, insbesondere zwischen 110 und 195, speziell zwischen 130 und 190 mg KOH/g Ester. In der Regel handelt es sich dabei um Mischungen verschiedener Ester, z. B. um Mischungen aus Mono- Di- und Triglyceriden, Mischungen, wie sie bei der Veresterung von Polyolen entstehen.Also preferred are partial esters whose OH numbers are between 10 and 200 mg KOH / g ester, more preferably between 100 and 200, in particular between 110 and 195, especially between 130 and 190 mg KOH / g ester.

Die Partialester mit OH-Zahlen zwischen 110 und 200 mg KOH/g Ester zeichnen sich insbesondere in Kombination mit den Alkylphenolharzen B) durch eine sehr geringe Emulgierneigung aus. Vermutlich bewirkt dabei der durch die OH-Zahl begrenzte HLB-Bereich der Additive eine reduzierte Affinität der amphiphilen Wirkstoffe zu Wasser; gleichzeitig wird die Ausbildung oberflächenaktiver und micellarer Strukturen durch die mittels Jodzahl charakterisierte Anzahl an Doppelbindungen in den Alkylresten gestört.The partial esters with OH numbers between 110 and 200 mg KOH / g ester are characterized in particular in combination with the alkylphenol resins B) by a very low Emulgierneigung. Presumably, the limited by the OH number HLB range of additives causes a reduced affinity of the amphiphilic agents to water; At the same time, the formation of surface-active and micellar structures is disturbed by the number of double bonds in the alkyl radicals which are characterized by iodine number.

Für das Alkylphenol-Aldehydharz können gleiche oder verschiedene Alkylphenole verwendet werden.The alkylphenol-aldehyde resins (B) contained in the additive according to the invention are known in principle and, for example, in the Römpp Chemie Lexikon, 9th edition, Thieme Verlag 1988-92, Volume 4, p 3351ff. described.

Säurederivate sind Phthalsäure(anhydrid), Trimellit, Pyromellitsäure(dianhydrid), Isophthalsäure, Terephthalsäure, Cyclohexan-dicarbonsäure(anhydrid), Maleinsäure(anhydrid), Alkenylbernsteinsäure(anhydrid). Die Formulierung (anhydrid) bedeutet, dass auch die Anhydride der genannten Säuren bevorzugte Säurederivate sind. Wenn die Verbindungen obiger Formel Amide oder Aminsalze sind, sind sie vorzugsweise von einem sekundären Amin, das eine Wasserstoff und Kohlenstoff enthaltende Gruppe mit mindestens 10 Kohlenstoffatomen enthält, erhalten.
    Es ist bevorzugt, dass R17 10 bis 30, insbesondere 10 bis 22, z.B. 14 bis 20 Kohlenstoffatome enthält und vorzugsweise geradkettig oder an der 1- oder 2-Position verzweigt ist. Die anderen Wasserstoff und Kohlenstoff enthaltenden Gruppen können kürzer sein, z.B. weniger als 6 Kohlenstoffatome enthalten, oder können, falls gewünscht, mindestens 10 Kohlenstoffatome aufweisen. Geeignete Alkylgruppen schließen Methyl, Ethyl, Propyl, Hexyl, Decyl, Dodecyl, Tetradecyl, Eicosyl und Docosyl (Behenyl) ein.
    Des weiteren sind Polymere geeignet, die mindestens eine Amid- oder Ammoniumgruppe direkt an das Gerüst des Polymers gebunden enthalten, wobei die Amid- oder Ammoniumgruppe mindestens eine Alkylgruppe von mindestens 8 C-Atomen am Stickstoffatom trägt. Derartige Polymere können auf verschiedene Arten hergestellt werden. Eine Art ist, ein Polymer zu verwenden, das mehrere Carbonsäure oder -Anhydridgruppen enthält, und dieses Polymer mit einem Amin der Formel NHR6R7 umzusetzen, um das gewünschte Polymer zu erhalten.
    Als Polymere sind dazu allgemein Copolymere aus ungesättigten Estern wie C1-C40-Alkyl(meth)acrylaten, Fumarsäuredi(C1-C40-alkylestern), C1-C40-Alkylvinylethern, C1-C40-Alkylvinylestern oder C2-C40-Olefinen (linear, verzweigt, aromatisch) mit ungesättigten Carbonsäuren bzw. deren reaktiven Derivaten, wie z.B. Carbonsäureanhydriden (Acrylsäure, Methacrylsäure, Maleinsäure, Fumarsäure, Tetrahydrophthalsäure, Citraconsäure, bevorzugt Maleinsäureanhydrid) geeignet.
    Carbonsäuren werden vorzugsweise mit 0,1 bis 1,5 mol, insbesondere 0,5 bis 1,2 mol Amin pro Säuregruppe, Carbonsäureanhydride vorzugsweise mit 0,1 bis 2,5, insbesondere 0,5 bis 2,2 mol Amin pro Säureanhydridgruppe umgesetzt, wobei je nach Reaktionsbedingungen Amide, Ammoniumsalze, Amid-Ammoniumsalze oder Imide entstehen. So ergeben Copolymere, die ungesättigte Carbonsäureanhydride enthalten, bei der Umsetzung mit einem sekundären Amin auf Grund der Reaktion mit der Anhydridgruppe zur Hälfte Amid und zur Hälfte Aminsalze. Durch Erhitzen kann unter Bildung des Diamids Wasser abgespalten werden.
    Besonders geeignete Beispiele amidgruppenhaltiger Polymere zur erfindungsgemäßen Verwendung sind:
  5. 5. Copolymere (a) eines Dialkylfumarats, -maleats, -citraconats oder -itaconats mit Maleinsäureanhydrid, oder (b) von Vinylestern, z.B. Vinylacetat, Vinylpropionat, Vinyl-2-ethylhexanoat oder Vinylstearat mit Maleinsäureanhydrid, oder (c) eines Dialkylfumarats, -maleats, -citraconats oder -itaconats mit Maleinsäureanhydrid und Vinylacetat.
    Besonders geeignete Beispiele für diese Polymere sind Copolymere von Didodecylfumarat, Vinylacetat und Maleinsäureanhydrid; Ditetradecylfumarat, Vinylacetat und Maleinsäureanhydrid; Di-hexadecylfumarat, Vinylacetat und Maleinsäureanhydrid; oder den entsprechenden Copolymeren, bei denen anstelle des Fumarats das ltaconat verwendet wird.
    In den oben genannten Beispielen geeigneter Polymere wird das gewünschte Amid durch Umsetzung des Polymers, das Anhydridgruppen enthält, mit einem sekundären Amin der Formel HNR6R7 (gegebenenfalls außerdem mit einem Alkohol, wenn ein Esteramid gebildet wird) erhalten. Wenn Polymere, die eine Anhydridgruppe enthalten, umgesetzt werden, werden die resultierenden Aminogruppen Ammoniumsalze und Amide sein. Solche Polymere können verwendet werden, mit der Maßgabe, dass sie mindestens zwei Amidgruppen enthalten.
    Es ist wesentlich, dass das Polymer, das mindestens zwei Amidgruppen enthält, mindestens eine Alkylgruppe mit mindestens 10 Kohlenstoffatomen enthält. Diese langkettige Gruppe, die eine geradkettige oder verzweigte Alkylgruppe sein kann, kann über das Stickstoffatom der Amidgruppe gebunden vorliegen.
    Die dafür geeigneten Amine können durch die Formel R6R7NH und die Polyamine durch R6NH[R19NH]xR7 wiedergegeben werden, wobei R19 eine zweiwertige Kohlenwasserstoffgruppe, vorzugsweise eine Alkylen- oder kohlenwasserstoffsubstituierte Alkylengruppe, und x eine ganze Zahl, vorzugsweise zwischen 1 und 30 ist. Vorzugsweise enthalten einer der beiden oder beide Reste R6 und R7 mindestens 10 Kohlenstoffatome, beispielsweise 10 bis 20 Kohlenstoffatome, zum Beispiel Dodecyl, Tetradecyl, Hexadecyl oder Octadecyl.
    Beispiele geeigneter sekundärer Amine sind Dioctylamin und solche, die Alkylgruppen mit mindestens 10 Kohlenstoffatomen enthalten, beispielsweise Didecylamin, Didodecylamin, Dicocosamin (d.h. gemischte C12-C14-Amine), Dioctadecylamin, Hexadecyloctadecylamin, Di-(hydriertes Talg)-Amin (annähernd 4 Gew.-% n-C14-Alkyl, 30 Gew.-% n-C10-Alkyl, 60 Gew.-% n-C18-Alkyl, der Rest ist ungesättigt).
    Beispiele geeigneter Polyamine sind N-Octadecylpropandiamin, N,N'-Dioctadecylpropandiamin, N-Tetradecylbutandiamin und N,N'-Dihexadecylhexandiamin. N-Cocospropylendiamin (C12/C14-Alkylpropylen-diamin), N-Talgpropylendiamin (C16/C18-Alkylpropylendiamin).
    Die amidhaltigen Polymere haben üblicherweise ein durchschnittliches Molekulargewicht (Zahlenmittel) von 1000 bis 500 000, zum Beispiel 10 000 bis 100 000.
  6. 6. Copolymere des Styrols, seiner Derivate oder aliphatischer Olefine mit 2 bis 40 C-Atomen, bevorzugt mit 6 bis 20 C-Atomen und olefinisch ungesättigten Carbonsäuren oder Carbonsäureanhydriden, die mit Aminen der Formel HNR6R7 umgesetzt sind. Die Umsetzung kann vor oder nach der Polymerisation vorgenommen werden.
    Im einzelnen leiten sich die Struktureinheiten der Copolymere von z.B. Maleinsäure, Fumarsäure, Tetrahydrophthalsäure, Citraconsäure, bevorzugt Maleinsäureanhydrid ab. Sie können sowohl in Form ihrer Homopolymeren als auch der Copolymeren eingesetzt werden. Als Comonomere sind geeignet: Styrol und Alkylstyrole, geradkettige und verzweigte Olefine mit 2 bis 40 Kohlenstoffatomen, sowie deren Mischungen untereinander. Beispielsweise seien genannt: Styrol, α-Methylstyrol, Dimethylstyrol, α-Ethylstyrol, Diethylstyrol, i-Propylstyrol, tert.-Butylstyrol, Ethylen, Propylen, n-Butylen, Diisobutylen, Decen, Dodecen, Tetradecen, Hexadecen, Octadecen. Bevorzugt sind Styrol und Isobuten, besonders bevorzugt ist Styrol.
    Als Polymere seien beispielsweise im einzelnen genannt: Polymaleinsäure, ein equimolares, alternierend aufgebautes Styrol/Maleinsäure-Copolymer, statistisch aufgebaute Styrol/Maleinsäure-Copolymere im Verhältnis 10:90 und ein alternierendes Copolymer aus Maleinsäure und i-Buten. Die molaren Massen der Polymeren betragen im allgemeinen 500 g/mol bis 20 000 g/mol, bevorzugt 700 bis 2000 g/mol.
    Die Umsetzung der Polymeren oder Copolymeren mit den Aminen erfolgt bei Temperaturen von 50 bis 200°C im Verlauf von 0,3 bis 30 Stunden. Das Amin wird dabei in Mengen von ungefähr einem Mol pro Mol einpolymerisiertem Dicarbonsäureanhydrid, d.i. ca.0,9 bis 1,1 Mol/Mol, angewandt. Die Verwendung größerer oder geringerer Mengen ist möglich, bringt aber keinen Vorteil. Werden größere Mengen als ein Mol angewandt, erhält man zum Teil Ammoniumsalze, da die Bildung einer zweiten Amidgruppierung höhere Temperaturen, längere Verweilzeiten und Wasserauskreisen erfordert. Werden geringere Mengen als ein Mol angewandt, findet keine vollständige Umsetzung zum Monoamid statt und man erhält eine dementsprechend verringerte Wirkung.
    Anstelle der nachträglichen Umsetzung der Carboxylgruppen in Form des Dicarbonsäureanhydrids mit Aminen zu den entsprechenden Amiden kann es manchmal von Vorteil sein, die Monoamide der Monomeren herzustellen und dann bei der Polymerisation direkt einzupolymerisieren. Meist ist das jedoch technisch viel aufwendiger, da sich die Amine an die Doppelbindung der monomeren Mono- und Dicarbonsäure anlagern können und dann keine Copolymerisation mehr möglich ist.
  7. 7. Copolymere, bestehend aus 10 bis 95 Mol-% eines oder mehrerer Alkylacrylate oder Alkylmethacrylate mit C1-C26-Alkylketten und aus 5 bis 90 Mol-% einer oder mehrerer ethylenisch ungesättigter Dicarbonsäuren oder deren Anhydriden, wobei das Copolymere weitgehend mit einem oder mehreren primären oder sekundären Aminen zum Monoamid oder Amid/Ammoniumsalz der Dicarbonsäure umgesetzt ist.
    Die Copolymeren bestehen zu 10 bis 95 Mol-%, bevorzugt zu 40 bis 95 Mol-% und besonders bevorzugt zu 60 bis 90 Mol-% aus Alkyl(meth)acrylaten und zu 5 bis 90 Mol-%, bevorzugt zu 5 bis 60 Mol-% und besonders bevorzugt zu 10 bis 40 Mol-% aus den olefinisch ungesättigten Dicarbonsäurederivaten. Die Alkylgruppen der Alkyl(meth)acrylate enthalten aus 1 bis 26, bevorzugt 4 bis 22 und besonders bevorzugt 8 bis 18 Kohlenstoffatome. Sie sind bevorzugt geradkettig und unverzweigt. Es können jedoch auch bis zu 20 Gew.-% cyclische und/oder verzweigte Anteile enthalten sein.
    Beispiele für besonders bevorzugte Alkyl(meth)acrylate sind n-Octyl(meth)acrylat, n-Decyl(meth)acrylat, n-Dodecyl(meth)acrylat, n-Tetradecyl(meth)acrylat, n-Hexadecyl(meth)acrylat und n-Octadecyl(meth)acrylat sowie Mischungen davon.
    Beispiele ethylenisch ungesättigter Dicarbonsäuren sind Maleinsäure, Tetrahydrophthalsäure, Citraconsäure und Itaconsäure bzw. deren Anhydride sowie Fumarsäure. Bevorzugt ist Maleinsäureanhydrid.
    Als Amine kommen Verbindungen der Formel HNR6R7 in Betracht.
    In der Regel ist es von Vorteil, die Dicarbonsäuren in Form der Anhydride, soweit verfügbar, bei der Copolymerisation einzusetzen, z.B. Maleinsäureanhydrid, Itaconsäureanhydrid, Citraconsäureanhydrid und Tetrahydrophthalsäureanhydrid, da die Anhydride in der Regel besser mit den (Meth)acrylaten copolymerisieren. Die Anhydridgruppen der Copolymeren können dann direkt mit den Aminen umgesetzt werden.
    Die Umsetzung der Polymeren mit den Aminen erfolgt bei Temperaturen von 50 bis 200°C im Verlauf von 0,3 bis 30 Stunden. Das Amin wird dabei in Mengen von ungefähr einem bis zwei. Mol pro Mol einpolymerisiertem Dicarbonsäureanhydrid, d.i. ca. 0,9 bis 2,1 Mol/Mol angewandt. Die Verwendung größerer oder geringerer Mengen ist möglich, bringt aber keinen Vorteil. Werden größere Mengen als zwei Mol angewandt, liegt freies Amin vor. Werden geringere Mengen als ein Mol angewandt, findet keine vollständige Umsetzung zum Monoamid statt und man erhält eine dementsprechend verringerte Wirkung.
    In einigen Fällen kann es von Vorteil sein, wenn die Amid/Ammoniumsalzstruktur aus zwei unterschiedlichen Aminen aufgebaut wird. So kann beispielsweise ein Copolymer aus Laurylacrylat und Maleinsäureanhydrid zuerst mit einem sekundären Amin, wie hydriertem Ditalgfettamin zum Amid umgesetzt werden, wonach die aus dem Anhydrid stammende freie Carboxylgruppe mit einem anderen Amin, z.B. 2-Ethylhexylamin zum Ammoniumsalz neutralisiert wird. Genauso ist die umgekehrte Vorgehensweise denkbar: Zuerst wird mit Ethylhexylamin zum Monoamid, dann mit Ditalgfettamin zum Ammoniumsalz umgesetzt. Vorzugsweise wird dabei mindestens ein Amin verwendet, welches mindestens eine geradkettige, unverzweigte Alkylgruppe mit mehr als 16 Kohlenstoffatomen besitzt. Es ist dabei nicht erheblich, ob dieses Amin am Aufbau der Amidstruktur oder als Ammoniumsalz der Dicarbonsäure vorliegt.
    Anstelle der nachträglichen Umsetzung der Carboxylgruppen bzw. des Dicarbonsäureanhydrids mit Aminen zu den entsprechenden Amiden oder Amid/Ammoniumsalzen, kann es manchmal von Vorteil sein, die Monoamide bzw. Amid/Ammoniumsalze der Monomeren herzustellen und dann bei der Polymerisation direkt einzupolymerisieren. Meist ist das jedoch technisch viel aufwendiger, da sich die Amine an die Doppelbindung der monomeren Dicarbonsäure anlagern können und dann keine Copolymerisation mehr möglich ist.

    Preferred carboxylic acids or acid derivatives are phthalic acid (anhydride), trimellit, pyromellitic acid (dianhydride), isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, cyclohexane-dicarboxylic acid (anhydride), maleic acid (anhydride), alkenylsuccinic acid (anhydride). The formulation (anhydride) means that the anhydrides of said acids are also preferred acid derivatives. When the compounds of the above formula are amides or amine salts, they are preferably obtained from a secondary amine containing a hydrogen and carbon containing group having at least 10 carbon atoms.
    It is preferred that R 17 contains from 10 to 30, in particular from 10 to 22, for example from 14 to 20 carbon atoms and is preferably straight-chain or branched at the 1- or 2-position. The other hydrogen and carbon containing groups may be shorter, eg containing less than 6 carbon atoms, or may have at least 10 carbon atoms if desired. Suitable alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl, hexyl, decyl, dodecyl, tetradecyl, eicosyl and docosyl (behenyl).
    Furthermore, polymers are suitable which contain at least one amide or ammonium group bound directly to the skeleton of the polymer, wherein the amide or ammonium group carries at least one alkyl group of at least 8 C atoms on the nitrogen atom. Such polymers can be prepared in various ways. One way is to use a polymer containing several carboxylic acid or anhydride groups and react this polymer with an amine of the formula NHR 6 R 7 to obtain the desired polymer.
    As polymers are generally copolymers of unsaturated esters such as C 1 -C 40 alkyl (meth) acrylates, fumaric di (C 1 -C 40 alkyl esters), C 1 -C 40 alkyl vinyl ethers, C 1 -C 40 alkyl vinyl esters or C. C 2 -C 40 -olefins (linear, branched, aromatic) with unsaturated carboxylic acids or their reactive derivatives, such as carboxylic acid anhydrides (acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tetrahydrophthalic acid, citraconic acid, preferably maleic anhydride) suitable.
    Carboxylic acids are preferably reacted with from 0.1 to 1.5 mol, in particular from 0.5 to 1.2 mol of amine per acid group, carboxylic anhydrides, preferably with from 0.1 to 2.5, in particular from 0.5 to 2.2, mol of amine per acid anhydride group Depending on the reaction conditions, amides, ammonium salts, amide-ammonium salts or imides are formed. Thus, copolymers containing unsaturated carboxylic acid anhydrides, upon reaction with a secondary amine, yield half amide and half amine salts by reaction with the anhydride group. By heating, the formation of the Diamids water are split off.
    Particularly suitable examples of amide group-containing polymers for use according to the invention are:
  5. 5. Copolymers of (a) a dialkyl fumarate, maleate, citraconate or itaconate with maleic anhydride, or (b) vinyl esters, for example vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, vinyl 2-ethylhexanoate or vinyl stearate with maleic anhydride, or (c) a dialkyl fumarate, maleate, citraconate or itaconate with maleic anhydride and vinyl acetate.
    Particularly suitable examples of these polymers are copolymers of didodecyl fumarate, vinyl acetate and maleic anhydride; Ditetradecyl fumarate, vinyl acetate and maleic anhydride; Di-hexadecyl fumarate, vinyl acetate and maleic anhydride; or the corresponding copolymers in which the ltaconate is used instead of the fumarate.
    In the above examples of suitable polymers, the desired amide is obtained by reacting the polymer containing anhydride groups with a secondary amine of the formula HNR 6 R 7 (optionally also with an alcohol when forming an ester amide). When polymers containing an anhydride group are reacted, the resulting amino groups will be ammonium salts and amides. Such polymers may be used provided that they contain at least two amide groups.
    It is essential that the polymer containing at least two amide groups contains at least one alkyl group having at least 10 carbon atoms. This long-chain group, which may be a straight-chain or branched alkyl group, may be bonded via the nitrogen atom of the amide group.
    The suitable amines can be represented by the formula R 6 R 7 NH and the polyamines by R 6 NH [R 19 NH] x R 7 , wherein R 19 is a divalent hydrocarbon group, preferably an alkylene or hydrocarbyl-substituted alkylene group, and x is an integer, preferably between 1 and 30. Preferably, one of the two or both R 6 and R 7 contains at least 10 carbon atoms, for example 10 to 20 carbon atoms, for example dodecyl, tetradecyl, hexadecyl or octadecyl.
    Examples of suitable secondary amines are dioctylamine and those containing alkyl groups of at least 10 carbon atoms, for example, didecylamine, didodecylamine, dicocosamine (ie, mixed C 12 -C 14 amines), dioctadecylamine, hexadecyloctadecylamine, di (hydrogenated tallow) amine (approx Wt% nC 14 alkyl, 30 wt% nC 10 alkyl, 60 wt% nC 18 alkyl, the remainder is unsaturated).
    Examples of suitable polyamines are N-octadecylpropanediamine, N, N'-dioctadecylpropanediamine, N-tetradecylbutanediamine and N, N'-dihexadecylhexanediamine. N-Cocospropylenediamine (C 12 / C 14 -alkylpropylenediamine), N-tallowpropylenediamine (C 16 / C 18 -alkylpropylenediamine).
    The amide-containing polymers usually have a number average molecular weight of from 1,000 to 500,000, for example 10,000 to 100,000.
  6. 6. Copolymers of styrene, its derivatives or aliphatic olefins having 2 to 40 carbon atoms, preferably having 6 to 20 carbon atoms and olefinically unsaturated carboxylic acids or carboxylic anhydrides, which are reacted with amines of the formula HNR 6 R 7 . The reaction can be carried out before or after the polymerization.
    In detail, the structural units of the copolymers are derived from, for example, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tetrahydrophthalic acid, citraconic acid, preferably maleic anhydride. They can be used both in the form of their homopolymers and the copolymers. Suitable comonomers are: styrene and alkylstyrenes, straight-chain and branched olefins with 2 to 40 carbon atoms, as well as their mixtures with each other. Examples which may be mentioned: styrene, α-methylstyrene, dimethylstyrene, α-ethylstyrene, diethylstyrene, i-propylstyrene, tert-butylstyrene, ethylene, propylene, n-butylene, diisobutylene, decene, dodecene, tetradecene, hexadecene, octadecene. Preference is given to styrene and isobutene, particular preference to styrene.
    Examples of polymers which may be mentioned are: polymaleic acid, an equimolar, styrene / maleic acid copolymer of alternating construction, random copolymers of styrene / maleic acid in a ratio of 10:90 and an alternating copolymer of maleic acid and i-butene. The molar masses of the polymers are generally 500 g / mol to 20,000 g / mol, preferably 700 to 2000 g / mol.
    The reaction of the polymers or copolymers with the amines is carried out at temperatures of 50 to 200 ° C in the course of 0.3 to 30 hours. The amine is applied in amounts of about one mole per mole of copolymerized dicarboxylic anhydride, ie about 0.9 to 1.1 mol / mol. The use of larger or smaller amounts is possible, but brings no advantage. If larger amounts than one mole are used, ammonium salts are sometimes obtained because the formation of a second amide group requires higher temperatures, longer residence times, and water recirculation. If amounts smaller than one mole are used, complete conversion to the monoamide does not take place and a correspondingly reduced effect is obtained.
    Instead of the subsequent reaction of the carboxyl groups in the form of the dicarboxylic anhydride with amines to the corresponding amides, it may sometimes be advantageous to prepare the monoamides of the monomers and then to copolymerize them directly in the polymerization. In most cases, however, this is technically much more complicated because the amines can attach to the double bond of the monomeric mono- and dicarboxylic acid and then no copolymerization is possible.
  7. 7. Copolymers consisting of 10 to 95 mol% of one or more alkyl acrylates or alkyl methacrylates with C 1 -C 26 alkyl chains and from 5 to 90 mol% of one or more ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acids or their anhydrides, wherein the copolymer is largely with a or more primary or secondary amines to the monoamide or amide / ammonium salt of the dicarboxylic acid is reacted.
    The copolymers consist of 10 to 95 mol%, preferably 40 to 95 mol% and particularly preferably 60 to 90 mol% of alkyl (meth) acrylates and 5 to 90 mol%, preferably 5 to 60 mol -% and particularly preferably from 10 to 40 mol% of the olefinically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid derivatives. The alkyl groups of the alkyl (meth) acrylates contain from 1 to 26, preferably 4 to 22 and more preferably 8 to 18 carbon atoms. They are preferably straight-chain and unbranched. However, it may also contain up to 20 wt .-% cyclic and / or branched portions.
    Examples of particularly preferred alkyl (meth) acrylates are n-octyl (meth) acrylate, n-decyl (meth) acrylate, n-dodecyl (meth) acrylate, n-tetradecyl (meth) acrylate, n-hexadecyl (meth) acrylate and n-octadecyl (meth) acrylate and mixtures thereof.
    Examples of ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acids are maleic acid, tetrahydrophthalic acid, citraconic acid and itaconic acid or their anhydrides and fumaric acid. Preference is given to maleic anhydride.
    Suitable amines are compounds of the formula HNR 6 R 7 .
    As a rule, it is advantageous to use the dicarboxylic acids in the form of the anhydrides, if available, in the copolymerization, for example maleic anhydride, itaconic anhydride, citraconic anhydride and tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, since the anhydrides generally copolymerize better with the (meth) acrylates. The anhydride groups of the copolymers can then be reacted directly with the amines.
    The reaction of the polymers with the amines takes place at temperatures of 50 to 200 ° C in the course of 0.3 to 30 hours. The amine is in amounts of about one to two. Moles per mole of polymerized dicarboxylic anhydride, ie applied about 0.9 to 2.1 mol / mol. The use of larger or smaller amounts is possible, but brings no advantage. If amounts greater than two moles are used, free amine is present. If amounts smaller than one mole are used, complete conversion to the monoamide does not take place and a correspondingly reduced effect is obtained.
    In some cases, it may be advantageous for the amide / ammonium salt structure to be built up from two different amines. For example, a copolymer of lauryl acrylate and maleic anhydride may first be reacted with a secondary amine such as hydrogenated di-tallow fatty amine to form the amide, after which the free carboxyl group derived from the anhydride is neutralized with another amine, eg 2-ethylhexylamine, to the ammonium salt. Likewise, the reverse procedure is conceivable: first with ethylhexylamine to the monoamide, then reacted with Ditalgfettamin to the ammonium salt. Preferably, at least one amine is used which has at least one straight-chain, unbranched alkyl group having more than 16 carbon atoms. It is not significant whether this amine is present in the structure of the amide structure or as the ammonium salt of the dicarboxylic acid.
    Instead of the subsequent reaction of the carboxyl groups or of the dicarboxylic anhydride with amines to the corresponding amides or amide / ammonium salts, it may sometimes be advantageous to prepare the monoamides or amide / ammonium salts of the monomers and then to copolymerize them directly in the polymerization. However, this is usually technically much more complicated because the amines can attach to the double bond of the monomeric dicarboxylic acid and then no copolymerization is possible.

Das Mischungsverhältnis (in Gewichtsteilen) der erfindungsgemäßen Additive mit Ethylencopolymeren bzw. Kammpolymeren beträgt jeweils 1:10 bis 20:1, vorzugsweise 1:1 bis 10:1.The mixing ratio (in parts by weight) of the additives according to the invention with ethylene copolymers or comb polymers is in each case 1:10 to 20: 1, preferably 1: 1 to 10: 1.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Additive werden ölen in Mengen von 0,0001 bis 1 Gew.-%, bevorzugt 0,001 bis 0,1 Gew.-% und speziell 0,002 bis 0,05 Gew.-% zugesetzt. Dabei können sie als solche oder auch gelöst in Lösemitteln, wie z.B. aliphatischen und/oder aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen oder Kohlenwasserstoffgemischen wie z.B. Toluol, Xylol, Ethylbenzol, Decan, Pentadecan, Benzinfraktionen, Diesel, Kerosin oder kommerziellen Lösemittelgemischen wie Solvent Naphtha, ® Shellsol AB, ® Solvesso 150, ® Solvesso 200, ® Exxsol-, ® Isopar- und ® Shellsol D-Typen, sowie polaren Lösungsmitteln wie Alkoholen, Glykolen und Estern wie beispielsweise Fettsäurealkylestern und insbesondere Rapsölsäuremethylester (RME), eingesetzt werden. Bevorzugt enthalten die erfindungsgemäßen Additive bis zu 70 %, speziell 5 - 60 %, insbesondere 10 - 40 Gew.-% Lösemittel.The additives according to the invention are added to oils in amounts of 0.0001 to 1% by weight, preferably 0.001 to 0.1% by weight and especially 0.002 to 0.05% by weight. They may be used as such or dissolved in solvents, such as aliphatic and / or aromatic hydrocarbons or hydrocarbon mixtures such as toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, decane, pentadecane, gasoline fractions, diesel, kerosene or commercial solvent mixtures such as Solvent Naphtha, ® Shellsol AB, ® Solvesso 150, ® Solvesso 200, ® Exxsol, ® Isopar and ® Shellsol D grades, as well as polar solvents such as Alcohols, glycols and esters such as fatty acid alkyl esters and in particular rapeseed oil methyl ester (RME) can be used. Preferably, the additives of the invention contain up to 70%, especially 5 to 60%, in particular 10 to 40% by weight of solvent.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Additive können bei erhöhter Temperatur über längere Zeit ohne Alterungseffekte gelagert werden, ohne dass es zu Alterungserscheinungen wie Verharzung und der Bildung unlöslicher Strukturen oder Ablagerungen in Lagerbehältern und/oder Motorteilen kommt. Darüber hinaus verbessern sie die Oxidationsstabilität der additivierten Öle bei gleichzeitig verminderter Emulgierneigung. Dies ist insbesondere bei Ölen, die größere Anteile an Ölen aus Crack-Prozessen enthalten, von Vorteil.The additives of the invention can be stored at elevated temperature for a long time without aging effects, without causing aging phenomena such as resinification and the formation of insoluble structures or deposits in storage containers and / or engine parts. In addition, they improve the oxidation stability of the additized oils with simultaneously reduced emulsification tendency. This is particularly advantageous for oils containing larger amounts of cracking process oils.

Des weiteren zeigen sie eine den Einzelkomponenten überlegene Verbesserung der Lubricity von Mitteldestillaten. Damit kann die für die Einstellung der Spezifikation erforderliche Dosierrate abgesenkt werden.Furthermore, they show a superior to the individual components improvement of the Lubricity of middle distillates. Thus, the dosage rate required for setting the specification can be lowered.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Additive ist ihre gegenüber den gemäß dem Stand der Technik als Lubricity-Additive eingesetzten Fettsäureestern abgesenkte Kristallisationstemperatur. So können sie auch bei niedrigen Temperaturen von beispielsweise 0°C bis -20°C und teilweise auch niedriger problemlos eingesetzt werden.A further advantage of the additives according to the invention is their crystallization temperature which is lower than the fatty acid esters used according to the prior art as lubricity additives. So they can be used even at low temperatures of, for example, 0 ° C to -20 ° C and sometimes also lower without problems.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Additive sind für die Verwendung in Mitteldestillaten besonders gut geeignet. Als Mitteldestillate bezeichnet man insbesondere solche Mineralöle, die durch Destillation von Rohöl gewonnen werden und im Bereich von 120 bis 450°C sieden, beispielsweise Kerosin, Jet-Fuel, Diesel und Heizöl. Die Öle können auch Alkohole wie Methanol und/oder Ethanol enthalten oder aus diesen bestehen. Vorzugsweise werden die erfindungsgemäßen Additive in solchen Mitteldestillaten verwendet, die weniger als 350 ppm Schwefel, insbesondere weniger als 200 ppm Schwefel und in speziellen Fällen weniger als 50 ppm bzw. weniger als 10 ppm Schwefel enthalten. Es handelt sich dabei im allgemeinen um solche Mitteldestillate, die einer hydrierenden Raffination unterworfen wurden, und die daher nur geringe Anteile an polyaromatischen und polaren Verbindungen enthalten, die ihnen eine natürliche Schmierwirkung verleihen. Die erfindungsgemäßen Additive werden weiterhin vorzugsweise in solchen Mitteldestillaten verwendet, die 95 %-Destillationspunkte unter 370°C, insbesondere 350°C und in Spezialfällen unter 330°C aufweisen. Des gleichen sind die erfindungsgemäßen Additive für die Verwendung in synthetischen Kraftstoffen mit ebenfalls geringer Schmierfähigkeit, wie sie z. B. im Fischer-Tropsch-erozeß hergestellt werden können, geeignet. Die in ihrer Schmierfähigkeit verbesserten Öle besitzen einen im HFRR-Test gemessenen Wear Scar Diameter von bevorzugt weniger als 460 µm, speziell weniger als 450 µm. Die erfindungsgemäßen Additive können auch als Komponenten in Schmierölen eingesetzt werden.The additives of the invention are particularly well suited for use in middle distillates. As middle distillates are in particular those mineral oils which are obtained by distillation of crude oil and boil in the range of 120 to 450 ° C, for example kerosene, jet fuel, diesel and fuel oil. The oils may also contain or consist of alcohols such as methanol and / or ethanol. Preferably, the additives of the present invention are used in middle distillates containing less than 350 ppm sulfur, more preferably less than 200 ppm sulfur, and in special cases less than 50 ppm and less than 10 ppm sulfur, respectively. These are generally those middle distillates which have been subjected to a hydrogenating refining, and therefore only small proportions of polyaromatic and polar compounds which give them a natural lubricating effect. The additives according to the invention are furthermore preferably used in middle distillates which have 95% distillation points below 370.degree. C., in particular 350.degree. C. and in special cases below 330.degree. The same are the additives of the invention for use in synthetic fuels with also low lubricity, as z. B. can be produced in the Fischer-Tropsch erozess suitable. The lubricity-enhanced oils have a wear scar diameter measured by the HFRR test of preferably less than 460 μm, especially less than 450 μm. The additives according to the invention can also be used as components in lubricating oils.

Die Mischungen können allein oder auch zusammen mit anderen Additiven verwendet werden, z.B. mit Stockpunkterniedrigern, Korrosionsinhibitoren, Antioxidantien, Schlamminhibitoren, Dehazern, Leitfähigkeitsverbesserern, Lubricity-Additiven, und Zusätzen zur Erniedrigung des Cloud-Points. Des weiteren werden sie erfolgreich zusammen mit Additivpaketen eingesetzt, die u.a. bekannte aschefreie Dispergieradditive, Detergenzien, Entschäumer, Antioxidantien, Dehazer, Demulgatoren und Korrosionsinhibitoren enthalten.The mixtures can be used alone or together with other additives, e.g. with pour point depressants, corrosion inhibitors, antioxidants, sludge inhibitors, dehazers, conductivity improvers, lubricity additives, and cloud point depressant additives. Furthermore, they are successfully used in conjunction with additive packages, which i.a. known ashless dispersing additives, detergents, defoamers, antioxidants, dehazers, demulsifiers and corrosion inhibitors.

Die Vorteile der erfindungsgemäßen Additive werden durch die nachfolgenden Beispiele näher erläutert.The advantages of the additives according to the invention are explained in more detail by the following examples.

Schmierwirkung in MitteldestillatenLubricating effect in middle distillates

Die Schmierwirkung der Additive wurde mittels eines HFRR-Geräts der Firma PCS Instruments an additivierten Ölen bei 60°C geprüft. Der High Frequency
Reciprocating Rig Test (HFRR) ist beschrieben in D. Wei, H. Spikes, Wear, Vol. 111, No. 2, p. 217, 1986 . Die Ergebnisse sind als Reibungskoeffizient und Wear Scar (WS 1.4) angegeben. Ein niedriger Wear Scar und ein niedriger Reibungskoeffizient (Friction) zeigen eine gute Schmierwirkung. Wear Scar-Werte von weniger als 460 µm werden als Indiz für eine ausreichende Schmierwirkung angesehen, wobei in der Praxis jedoch Werte von weniger als 400 µm angestrebt werden. Die Dosierraten in Tabelle 6 beziehen sich auf die Menge an dosiertem Wirkstoff.

The lubricating effect of the additives was tested by means of an HFRR instrument from PCS Instruments on additized oils at 60 ° C. The high frequency
Reciprocating Rig Test (HFRR) is described in D. Wei, H. Spikes, Wear, Vol. 2, p. 217, 1986 , The results are given as coefficient of friction and Wear Scar (WS 1.4). A low Wear Scar and a low friction coefficient (Friction) show a good lubricating effect. Wear Scar values of less than 460 μm are considered an indication of a sufficient lubricating effect, although values of less than 400 μm are desired in practice. The dosing rates in Table 6 are based on the amount of dosed active ingredient.
