Antioxidant combination and synthetic base oils containing the same

摘要

Disclosed are compositions of a major amount of alkylated aromatics compounds, in particular alkylated naphthalene and alkylated benzene, optionally combined with API Group II, Group III, Group IV and/or ethylene copolymers, showing improved thermo-oxidation performance when containing an additive combination including an alkylated or non-alkylated diarylamine and a sulfur-containing metal passivator. Particularly, the lubricating compositions include at least 55 wt % of a base oil selected from the group consisting of alkylated naphthalene, alkylated benzene and combinations thereof, and from 0 wt % to 45 wt % of another base oil component. The ratio of amine component to sulfur component in the additive combination is from 1:1 to 20:1. The compositions contain an amount of base oil other than alkylated naphthalene, alkylated benzene and API Group II, Group III, Group IV and/or ethylene copolymers of less than 10 wt % based on the total weight of the components comprising the lubricating composition.

1. A lubricating composition comprising in admixture:
at from 60 wt % to 75 wt % of a base oil component comprised of alkylated napthalene, from 27.79 wt % to 37.42 wt % of a base oil of API Group IV comprising PAO, based on the total weight of the admixed components that are used to produce the lubricating composition, and an additive combination comprised of 0.67 to 1.5 wt. % of alkylated diarylamine, and a sulfur-containing metal passivator selected from 0.16 to 0.33 wt. % of dialkyl dithiocarbamate, about 0.16 wt. % of dialkyl dimercaptobenzothiadiazole and a combination of about 0.33 wt. % of dialkyl dithiocarbamate and about 0.06 wt. % of dialkyl dimercaptobenzothiadiazole, wherein additional base oil other than alkylated naphthalene and Group IV is additive diluent oil, wherein the ISO viscosity grade (VG) of the lubricating composition ranges from 68 to 460.
