Definitions
- the present invention relates to functional fluid compositions. More specifically, the subject invention relates to fluid compositions useful as shock absorbers fluids or hydraulic fluids, and to shock absorbers comprising the fluids and suspension systems for vehicles, and to hydraulic systems comprising the fluids. Background of the invention
- WO-A-2004/053030 describes functional fluids comprising a base stock or base oil, and at least one additive, and their use as Automatic Transmission Fluids (further referred to as ATF fluids herein) .
- the base oils should have a viscosity index (VI) of about 130 or greater; a pour point of -1O 0 C, and a ratio of measured to theoretical low temperature viscosity equal to about 1.2 or less at a temperature of -3O 0 C, where the measured viscosity is cold-crank-case simulator viscosity, and where the theoretical viscosity is calculated at the same temperature using the Walther-MacCoull equation, and wherein said base stock or base oil is not a Group IV base stock or base oil.
- VI viscosity index
- a disadvantage of the described compositions is the limited biodegradability of such formulations.
- a further disadvantage is that the highly paraffinic base oils described only have a limited compatibility with additives such as viscosity improvers at low temperatures, impairing the usability of such fluids .
- FR-A-2501224 discloses a hydraulic fluid based on a polyalphaolefin polymer blend and a complex esters of neopolyol, which has a very low biodegradability as compared to paraffinic blends, as for instance disclosed in WO-A-01/57166.
- ATF or shock absorber fluids can come into contact with soil and/or surface and subsurface water upon scrapping or replacement of for instance car parts, or when the used fluids are exchanged.
- specific functional base oil compositions that have a high biodegradability while providing a satisfactory performance, in particular a sufficiently high compatibility with viscosity index improvers at low temperatures.
- functional base oil compositions that have a very low viscosity and high compatibility at low temperatures.
- the present invention relates to a fluid composition
- a fluid composition comprising (a) from 70 to 99.99% by weight, based on the total hydraulic fluid composition, of a readily biodegradable base oil composition comprising
- a base oil or base stock having a paraffin content of greater than 80% by weight paraffins and a saturates content of greater than 98% by weight and comprising a series of iso-paraffins having n, n+1, n+2, n+3 and n+4 carbon atoms and wherein n is between 15 and 35, and having a kinematic viscosity at 100 0 C of at most 5.5 mm 2 /s; (ii) of from 0 to 20% by weight of an and ester of a polyhydroxy compound, calculated on the base oil composition; and (b) a viscosity index improver in an amount of from 0,01 to 30% by weight, based on the total hydraulic fluid composition, wherein the hydraulic fluid composition has a viscosity index in the range of from 50 to 1000, and a pour point of below or at -30 0 C.
- compositions according to the invention offer a high biological degradability, since the base oil composition is still biodegradable in spite of the high viscosity index. At the same time, the compositions were found to have a high compatibility with viscosity improvers, specifically at low temperatures.
- the base oil or base stock component (i) is a paraffin base oil having a paraffin content of greater than 80% by weight paraffins and a saturates content of greater than 98% by weight and comprising a series of iso-paraffins having n, n+1, n+2, n+3 and n+4 carbon atoms and wherein n is between 15 and 35.
- the base oil (i) comprises a series of iso-paraffins having n, n+1, n+2, n+3 and n+4 carbon atoms and wherein n is between 19 and 35.
- the saturates content of the base oil as measured by IP386 is greater than 98% by weight, preferably greater than 99% by weight and even more preferably greater than 99.5% by weight.
- the kinematic viscosity at 40 0 C of the base oil component (i) preferably is between 1 and 200 mm ⁇ /s, more preferably between 1 and 50 mm ⁇ /s, even more preferably between 1 and 15 mm ⁇ /s, yet more preferably between 1 and 10 mm 2 /.
- the base oil component (i) may suitably have a kinematic viscosity at 100 0 C of below 5,5 mm2/sec, more preferably below 4 mm ⁇ /sec, again more preferably between 1 and 3.5 mm ⁇ /s, and yet more preferably between 1 and 3.3 mm ⁇ /s, and most preferably below 3 ram ⁇ /sec.
- the pour point of the base oil is preferably below -30 0 C.
- the fluid composition according to the invention preferably has a viscosity index in the range of from 100 to 600.
- the fluid composition according to the invention further preferably has a kinematic viscosity at 40 0 C of at least 7 mm2/s .
- the flash point of the base oil (i) as measured by ASTM D92 may be even greater than 120 0 C, or even greater than 140 0 C.
- the flash point of the base oil will depend on the application of the oil. Applicants have found that the flash points of the base oils as claimed are advantageously higher compared to mineral oil derived base oils.
- the fluid composition has a flashpoint of at or greater than 80 0 C.
- the content and the presence of the continuous series of the series of iso-paraffins having n, n+1, n+2, n+3 and n+4 carbon atoms in the base oil or base stock (i) may be measured by Field desorption/Field Ionisation
- FD/FI FD/FI
- HPLC high performance liquid chromatography
- the type classification of compounds in mass spectrometry is determined by the characteristic ions formed and is normally classified by "z number". This is given by the general formula for all hydrocarbon species: CnH2n+z. Because the saturates phase is analysed separately from the aromatic phase it is possible to determine the content of the different iso-paraffins having the same stoichiometry or n-number . The results of the mass spectrometer are processed using commercial software (poly 32; available from Sierra Analytics LLC, 3453 Dragoo Park Drive, Modesto, California GA95350 USA) to determine the relative proportions of each hydrocarbon type.
- the base oil component (i) having the continuous iso- paraffinic series as described above is preferably obtained by hydroisomerisation of a paraffinic wax, preferably followed by some type of dewaxing, such as solvent or catalytic dewaxing.
- the paraffinic wax may be a slack wax. More preferably the paraffinic wax is a Fischer-Tropsch derived wax, because of its purity and high paraffinic content .
- the base oils as derived from a Fischer-Tropsch wax as here described will be referred to in this description as Fischer-Tropsch derived base oils.
- Fischer-Tropsch processes which for example can be used to prepare the above-described Fischer- Tropsch derived base oil are the so-called commercial Slurry Phase Distillate technology of Sasol, the Shell Middle Distillate Synthesis Process and the "AGC-21" Exxon Mobil process. These and other processes are for example described in more detail in EP-A-776959, EP-A-668342, US-A-4943672, US-A-5059299, WO-A-9934917 and WO-A-9920720.
- these Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products will comprise hydrocarbons having 1 to 100 and even more than 100 carbon atoms. This hydrocarbon product will comprise normal paraffins, iso-paraffins, oxygenated products and unsaturated products.
- the relatively heavy Fischer-Tropsch derived feed has at least 30% by weight, preferably at least 50% by weight, and more preferably at least 55% by weight of compounds having at least 30 carbon atoms. Furthermore the weight ratio of compounds having at least 60 or more carbon atoms and compounds having at least 30 carbon atoms to 59 carbon atoms of the Fischer-Tropsch derived feed is preferably at least 0.2, more preferably at least 0.4 and most preferably at least 0.55.
- the Fischer-Tropsch derived feed comprises a C20 + fraction having an ASF-alpha value (Anderson-Schulz- Flory chain growth factor) of at least 0.925, preferably at least 0.935, more preferably at least 0.945, even more preferably at least 0.955.
- ASF-alpha value Anderson-Schulz- Flory chain growth factor
- Such a Fischer-Tropsch derived feed can be obtained by any process, which yields a relatively heavy Fischer-Tropsch product as described above. Not all Fischer-Tropsch processes yield such a heavy product.
- An example of a suitable Fischer-Tropsch process is described in WO-A-9934917.
- the Fischer-Tropsch derived product will contain no or very little sulphur and nitrogen containing compounds. This is typical for a product derived from a Fischer- Tropsch reaction, which uses synthesis gas containing almost no impurities. Sulphur and nitrogen levels will generally be below the detection limits, which are currently 5 mg/kg for sulphur and 1 mg/kg for nitrogen respectively.
- the process will generally comprise a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, a hydroisomerisation step and an optional pour point reducing step, wherein said hydroisomerisation step and optional pour point reducing step are performed as: (a) hydrocracking/hydroisomerisating a Fischer-Tropsch product, (b) separating the product of step (a) into at least one or more distillate fuel fractions and a base oil or base oil intermediate fraction.
- the viscosity and pour point of the base oil as obtained in step (b) is as desired no further processing is necessary and the oil can be used as the base oil according the invention.
- the pour point of the base oil intermediate fraction is suitably further reduced in a step (c) by means of solvent or preferably catalytic dewaxing of the oil obtained in step (b) to obtain oil having the preferred low pour point.

- hydroisome ⁇ sation/ hydroisome ⁇ sation catalysts are, for instance, described in WO-A-9201657. Combinations of these catalysts are also possible.
- Very suitable hydroconversion/ hydroisomerisation processes are those involving a first step wherein a zeolite beta or ZSM-48 based catalyst is used and a second step wherein a ZSM-5, ZSM-I2, ZSM-22, ZSM-23, ZSM-48, MCM-68, ZSM-35, SSZ-32, ferrierite, mordenite based catalyst is used. Of the latter group
- ZSM-23, ZSM-22 and ZSM-48 are preferred. Examples of such processes are described in US-A-20040065581, which disclose a process comprising a first step catalyst comprising platinum and zeolite beta and a second step catalyst comprising platinum and ZSM-48. These processes are capable of yielding a base oil product which does not require a further dewaxmg step.
- step (a) the feed is contacted with hydrogen in the presence of the catalyst at elevated temperature and pressure.
- the temperatures typically will be in the range of from 175 to 380 0 C, preferably higher than 250 0 C and more preferably from 300 to 370 0 C.
- the pressure will typically be in the range of from 10 to 250 bar and preferably between 20 and 80 bar.
- Hydrogen may be supplied at a gas hourly space velocity of from 100 to 10000 Nl/l/hr, preferably from 500 to 5000 Nl/l/hr.
- the hydrocarbon feed may be provided at a weight hourly space velocity of from 0.1 to 5 kg/l/hr, preferably higher than 0.5 kg/l/hr and more preferably lower than 2 kg/l/hr.
- the ratio of hydrogen to hydrocarbon feed may range from 100 to 5000 Nl/kg and is preferably from 250 to 2500 Nl/kg.
- step (a) as defined as the weight percentage of the feed boiling above 370 0 C which reacts per pass to a fraction boiling below 370 0 C, is at least 20% by weight, preferably at least 25% by weight, but preferably not more than 80% by weight, more preferably not more than 65% by weight.
- the feed as used above in the definition is the total hydrocarbon feed fed to step (a) , thus also any optional recycle of a high boiling fraction which may be obtained in step (b) .
- step (b) the product of step (a) is preferably separated into one or more distillate fuels fractions and a base oil or base oil precursor fraction having the desired viscosity properties .
- the pour point of the base oil is further reduced by means of a dewaxmg step (c), preferably by catalytic dewaxing.

- the final boiling point of the feed to the dewaxing step (c) may be the final boiling point of the product of step (a) or lower if desired.
- the biodegradability of the oil is qualified as readily biodegradable according to ISO 14593, entitled "Evaluation of ultimate aerobic biodegradability of organic compounds in aqueous medium". It is known that Fischer-Tropsch derived base oils may have good biodegradability properties as described in for example EP A-876446 or WO-A-01/57166. However m said publication the biodegradability was measured using the CEC-L-33-T-82 and OECD 310B tests, which are much less stringent.
- base oils derived from a Fischer-Tropsch product and having the properties of the base oils as disclosed m EP A-876446 are not always readily biodegradable according to the more accurate testing method as laid down in ISO 14593. It is widely known that the CEC-L-32-T-82 test and the more recent version of this test, known as the CEC L-33-A-93, can overestimate the biodegradability when compared to the ultimate biodegradability as measured by ISO 14593.
- the base oil component (i) preferably has a kinematic viscosity of from 100 0 C of at most 5 mm 2 /s, more preferably of at most 4.5 mm 2 /s, again more preferably of at most 4 mm2/s, yet more preferably of at most 3.5 mm 2 /s, and most preferably of at most
- Fluids based on these base oil components were found particularly useful as hydraulic oils, in particular those based on base oil components (i) having a kinematic viscosity of from 100 0 C of at most 3 mm 2 /s. It has furthermore been found that the specific requirements for shock absorbers and for hydraulic fluids in terms of viscosity and compatibility with additives and viscosity improvers at low temperatures can be obtained by either basing the fluid composition on paraffinic base oils, or on a combination thereof with readily biologically degradable ester base oils.
- ester component (ii) is an ester of a polyhydroxy compound.
- esters may be beneficial in order to improve the solvency of the oil formulation.
- Suitable ester compounds are ester compounds (ii) derivable by the reaction of an aliphatic mono, di and/or poly carboxylic acid with iso-tridecyl alcohol under esterification conditions. Examples of said ester compounds are isotridecyl ester of octane-1, 8-dioic acid, 2-ethylhexane-l, 6 dioic acid and dodecane-1, 12-dioic acid.

- the present invention further relates to shock absorbers and hydraulic systems comprising the fluid according to the invention, as well as to a vehicle comprising a shock absorber and/or a hydraulic system, and to the use of a hydraulic fluid according to claims 1 to 9 as biodegradable fluid for shock absorbers or hydraulic systems.
- Shock absorbers are expected to have high response values already at low temperatures, while both applications show the high biodegradability and the superior low temperature performance.
- a shock absorber (sometimes referred to as a damper) is a mechanical device designed to smooth out or damp a sudden shock impulse and dissipate kinetic energy.
- Shock absorbers are an important part of automobile or bicycle suspensions, aircraft landing gear, and the supports for many industrial machines. Large shock absorbers are also used in architecture and civil engineering to reduce the susceptibility of structures to earthquake damage and resonance. Applied to a structure such as a building or bridge it may be part of a seismic retrofit or as part of new, earthquake resistant construction. In this application it allows yet restrains motion and absorbs resonant energy, which could otherwise cause excessive motion and eventual structural failure. Shock absorbers generally have the task of converting kinetic energy to heat energy, which can then be dissipated.
- Hydraulic shock absorbers usually are composed of a cylinder with a sliding piston inside.
- the cylinder is filled with a fluid.
- This fluid filled piston/cylinder combination is also referred to as a dashpot.
- the wheel suspension usually contains several shock absorbers, mostly in combination with a pressure resilient means such as coil springs, leaf springs, or torsion bars.
- These springs are not shock absorbers as springs only store and do not dissipate or absorb energy. If a wheel is put into a horizontal motion, the spring will absorb the up-and downward force, and convert this into heat.
- the shock absorber along with hysteresis in for instance the tires of the wheel, dampens the motion of the unsprung weight up and down, thereby effectively damping the wheel bounce .
- shock absorber fluid This is achieved by converting the kinetic energy into heat through fluid friction due to the flow of the shock absorber fluid through a narrow orifice, such as an internal valve.
- the fluids according to the invention were found to improve the low temperature handling, i.e. directly after start at low temperatures, when used as shock absorber fluids .
- the fluid has the role of transferring kinetic energy from one location to another within a closed system, for instance in the control of airplane steering and landing gears. It has been found that the compositions according to the invention are particularly useful as hydraulic fluids due to the high compatibility with viscosity improvers even at low temperatures, as well as low shear loss. Shear loss is a measure that shows the loss of effective viscosity index improver over time through shearing. A higher shear loss indicates a shorter lifetime of the fluid, and hence of the shock absorber.
- Example 1 The invention will be further illustrated by the following, non-limiting examples: Example 1
- Blends were prepared of mineral oil derived base oils and of a Fischer-Tropsch derived base oil according to the invention having a similar viscosity index (see Table 1) .
- the obtained blends were formulated into shock absorber fluids (see Table 2), which were in turn subjected to a number of tests (see Table 3) .
- the amount of viscosity improve required to achieve the same viscosity index was higher for the mineral oil based comparative example (see Table 2).
- a Fischer-Tropsch based shock absorber formulation according to the invention has improved low temperature performance, and a higher flash point, and overall lower shear loss as compared to a mineral oil derived shock absorber fluid. Furthermore, less viscosity improver is required. Similar results are obtained with blends of polyhydroxy ester compounds, in particular esters of pentaeryth ⁇ tol and Fischer-Tropsch derived base oils.
- Base oil compositions comprising components (i) and (ii) were subjected to biodegradability tests.
- component (i), or a mixture of components (i) and (ii) are readily biodegradable, as determined by ISO 14593.
