AQUEOUS COOLANT Background of the Invention
Field of the Invention
This invention relates to an aqueous coolant for cooling and protecting a metal workpiece and a metalworking apparatus or device from corrosion and rust during metalworking. More particularly, the present invention relates to an aqueous coolant for cooling and protecting a metal workpiece and a metalworking apparatus or device from corrosion and rust during metalworking, for example, machining and grinding and any metal-removing or metal- forming operation, comprising a composition containing sebacic acid, glycerine, isononanoic acid and 6-[(l- oxoisonony1) mino]hexanoic acid.
Description of the Prior Art
Aqueous coolants for cooling and protecting a metal workpiece and a metalworking apparatus or device from corrosion and rust during metalworking operations or procedures, for example, machining and grinding and metal- removing or metal-forming operations are generally well known in the art. However, prior art aqueous coolants typically contain undesired ingredients, including free amines, for example, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine and triethanolamine, nitrites, phosphates, sulfur, chlorine or boron. These ingredients may impart undesirable properties to the coolant. For example, coolants containing free amines may cause dermatitis to the skin of an individual who comes in contact with the free a ine-containing coolant. The free amines in the free amine-containing coolants may also result in the coolants having objectionable odors. Furthermore, free amines and nitrites in aqueous coolants containing both free amines and nitrites may react to form nitrosamines, which are known carcinogens. The free amines may also react with nitrous oxides in the air to form nitrosamines. In addition, the free amines typically used, mono-, di- and triethanolamine, are themselves health hazards, causing burning to mucous membranes and skin. These undesired ingredients may also cause waste disposal difficulties of the coolant after use.
U.S. Patent 4,452,715 discloses an aqueous alcohol coolant composition having a pH of about 9 to about 10.5 to inhibit the corrosion of iron and solder. The composition may contain chlorine and free amines, but is free of phosphate and borate compounds and comprises an inorgance silicate, a water-soluble nitrite, a water-soluble triazole or thiazole and a water-soluble carbonate.
U.S. Patent 4,348,302 discloses an anticorrosive agent stable to hard water consisting of an alkali metal salt, alkaline earth metal salt or amine salt of an amido carboxylic acid. According to this reference, the anticorroεives may be used in admixture with known metal processing liquids for aqueous oil emulsions and can be applied in the form of aqueous solutions, dispersions or emulsions.
U.S. Patent 4,342,658 discloses a water-based hydraulic fluid or metalworking composition comprising a mixture of a phosphate ester, a polyethylene ester, polyester of an oxyalkaline compound and an alkyl dialkanolamide. This reference discloses using sebacic acid to prepare the alkyl dialkanolamideε and glycerol which are ethoxylated and subsequently esterified to produce the esters of ethoxylated aliphatic alcohols, useful as components of the hydraulic fluids. Additives may be used in the disclosed compositions, including amines and nitrites.
U.S. Patent 4,578,208 discloses compositions for cleaning and passivating metals comprising at least one phosphoric acid ester, at least one alkanolamine and/or alkanolamine salt, at least one εprayable non-ionic surfactant and optionally building, complexing agents and/or biocides. The aqueous cleaning solutions of the invention have a pH range of about 7.5 to about 10.5.
The present invention overcomes the aforementioned problems associated with the prior art aqueous coolants containing free amines, nitrites, phosphates, sulfur, chlorine or boron. The aqueous compositions and coolants containing the composition of the present invention effectively and efficiently cool and protect a metal workpiece from corrosion and rust during metalworking, and have improved corrosion protection properties over the aqueous coolants of the prior art. The aqueous compositions and coolants containing the composition of the present invention also effectively and efficiently cool and protect the metalworking apparatus or device used to work the metal during the metalworking operations or procedures. The aqueous coolant and/or composition of the present invention contains no free amines, nitrites, phosphates, sulfur, chlorine or boron.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments The present invention relates to an aqueous composition and a coolant formed therefrom for cooling and protecting a metal workpiece from corrosion and rust during metalworking. The present invention also relates to an aqueous composition and coolant formed therefrom for cooling and protecting a metalworking apparatus or device from corrosion and rust during metalworking. The "coolant" of the present invention is an aqueous dilution of the "composition" of the present invention. Thus, the
"composition" is a concentrate which should be diluted with water to form a "coolant" when used in metalworking procedures. The concentrated composition is the form of the present invention preferred for preparation and shipping. Generally,' prior art aqueous coolants for cooling and protecting a metal workpiece and a metalworking apparatus or device from corrosion and rust during metalworking contain undesirable ingredients or chemicals, for example, free amines, nitrites, phosphates, sulfur, chlorine and/or boron. These chemicals or ingredients may cause difficulty during use of the coolant or during disposal. For example, coolants containing free amines may cause dermititis to the user and may have an obnoxious odor. Furthermore, as indicated hereinbefore, free amines and nitrites may react to form carcinogenic nitrosamines and free amines and nitrous oxides from the air may react to form carcinogenic nitrosamines, and the free amines typically used, for example, mono-, di- and triethanolamine, are themselves health hazards, causing burning of the skin and mucous membranes. The primary ingredients in the composition used to make the aqueous coolant of the present invention include about 5 to about 20% sebacic acid, about 2 to about 15% glycerine, about 9 to about 27% isononanoic acid and about 1 to about 3% 6-[ (l-oxoisononyl)amino]hexanoic acid, based upon the total weight of the composition.

The foregoing Table demonstrates that aqueous coolants 12, 22 and 23 according to the present invention are the most effective coolants for cooling and protecting a metal workpiece from corrosion and rust during metalworking. Aqueous coolants 12, 22 and 23 are effective at a greater dilution (1:40, or a 2.5% v/v concentration) than the other aqueous coolants set forth in Table 1.
At dilutions less than 1:30, the compositions are not commercially acceptable in view of cost considerationε. Moreover, some of the prior art type of commercially available coolantε lose their effectivenesε over time, due to a breakdown or leaching out or other decrease in effectiveness of the ingredients.
The coolantε of the preεent invention not only are capable of effective cooling and corroεion protection at high dilution ratioε of 1:30 and greater, but also, they are stable and effective for a long period of time. The coolants of the preεent invention do not appear to break down, leach out or have their effectiveneεε diminiεhed compared to the prior art commercial coolantε.
The preεent invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof and, accordingly, reference should be made to the appended claims, rather than to the foregoing εpecification as indicating the scope of the invention.
