Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a controlled release gel that release additives into a lubricant wherein there is substantially ash free to an ash free production of ash in the lubricant. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a gel that control releases additives into a lubricant without the addition of ash-containing components or substantially free of ash-containing components.
  • Lubricant compositions in particular, crankcase motor oils are desired to provide ashless lubricants, that is those which do not contain metals which form sulfated ash. Ashless lubricants are advantageous because they reduce combustion chamber deposits. Additionally, the use of ash free, acid neutralizing additives would eliminate the formation of sulfate ash in the oil.
  • the conventional means of neutralizing acids that form in oil due to the combustion process is by employing basic additive components such as detergents in the lubricant.
  • Detergents generally contain some ash-forming metal element, such as calcium or magnesium. It is thought that sulfated ash from the oil contributes to particulate emissions and to plugging diesel particulate filters, and thus regulated limits on sulfated ash in the oil are expected. Therefore, the use of ash free acid neutralizing additives in the lubricant would eliminate sulfate ashes in the oil, thus allowing regulator ⁇ ' compliance.
  • the present invention provides for an ashless additive lubricant.
  • Lubricant additives are slowly degraded by the temperature and chemically harsh environment of the oil as the engine or other power equipment operates. Therefore, as the oil ages, it loses its performance effectiveness upon its degradation.
  • the incorporation of additives into a lubricant gel protects the additive components from degradation until release, thus improving the lubricant's performance efficiency.
