Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present technology includes an extreme pressure additive package formulated with a biodegradable sulfur component, which additive package can achieve suitable extreme pressure performance when formulated into a fully formulated industrial gear oil lubricant.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An additive package for industrial gear lubricants which meets OECD 301B comprising at least one sulfurized olefin that delivers greater than about 0.80 wt % active sulfur as measured at 150° C in ASTM D1662, wherein the at least one sulfurized olefin comprises from about 0.5 to about 20 wt % of at least one sulfurized olefin that is readily or inherently biodegradable as measured according to OECD301B, and from about 0.01 to about 1 wt % of a non-biodegradable sulfurized olefin comprising at least one of di-isobutylene, butylene, isobutylene, or mixtures thereof, wherein the non-biodegradable sulfurized olefin comprises less than 0.10 wt %, based on the total weight of the industrial gear oil lubricant, of a highly active non-biodegradable sulfurized olefin derived from di-isobutylene and less than 0.25 wt %, based on the total weight of the industrial gear oil lubricant, of a nominally active non-biodegradable sulfurized olefin derived from isobutylene. 2. The additive package of claim 1 , wherein the at least one biodegradable sulfurized olefin comprises at least one of a minimally active biodegradable sulfurized olefin as measured under ASTM D1662 at 150° C, a nominally active biodegradable sulfurized olefin as measured under ASTM D1662 at 150° C, or mixtures thereof. 3. The additive package of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sulfurized olefin that is readily or inherently biodegradable comprises at least one readily or inherently biodegradable sulfurized olefin derived from a natural source. 4. The additive package of claim 1 , where the at least one biodegradable sulfurized olefin derived from a natural source comprises at least one biodegradable sulfurized olefin derived from rapeseed oil. 5. The additive package of claim 1 , comprising further additive components. 6. An industrial gear oil lubricant comprising the additive package of claim 1 and a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity. 7. The industrial gear oil lubricant of claim 6 , wherein the oil of lubricating viscosity comprises at least one of synthetic oils, vegetable oils, mineral oils, or mixtures thereof. 8. The industrial gear oil lubricant of claim 7 , wherein the major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity is biodegradable saturated synthetic oil. 9. A method of operating an industrial gear comprising applying to the gear an industrial gear oil as claimed in claim 6 , and operating the gear.
