This invention pertains to water soluble or dispersible polyamides having a terminal carboxylic acid group and a terminal amine group in the same molecule and salts thereof, their use in lubricants and aqueous functional fluid (e.g. metal working fluid) compositions containing such polyamides or their salts.
BACKGROUNDAqueous based and non-aqueous functional fluids have been employed in such diverse uses as hydraulic fluids, metal working fluids, heat transfer fluids, electronic coolants, damping fluids and lubricants. To meet such diverse uses functional fluids are often tailored to have sets of properties and performance characteristics specific to the intended use of the fluid. Among the principle uses of functional fluids is their application as hydraulic fluids and metal working fluids. In metal working applications they find use in drilling, tapping, drawing, turning, milling, broaching, grinding, bending, rolling and the like metal working operations. The stability and lubricating characteristics of the functional fluid as a whole and the various components of the fluid play a major role in the performance and utility of the fluid in hydraulic and metal working applications. High stability for the fluid and its components during storage and use as well as high lubricity of the fluid are important and desirable characteristics in the use of the fluid as a hydraulic fluid or mwetal working fluid.
In recent years aqueous based functional fluids have gained in importance because of their safety, environmental, disposal, flammability, performance and economic advantages over non-aqueous functional fluids. These advantages are particularly significant in view of the strong emphasis currently being placed on safety and environmental considerations, especially in metal working operations. The economic advantages of aqueous functional fluids over non-aqueous functional fluids have become important in view of the supply problems and increasing price of non-aqueous functional fluids.
However, to derive the greatest benefit from these advantages of aqueous functional fluids, such fluids should exhibit high stability during storage and use, as well as provide a high degree of lubricity. Thus the aqueous functional fluid should be highly resistant to separation of one or more components from the mixture and resistant to undesirable breakdown (e.g. degradation) of the components of the fluid, especially undesirable degradation of a lubricant component of the fluid. Separation and undesirable degradation of components (especially a lubricant component) of an aqueous functional fluid reduces the effectiveness and useful life of the fluid leading to such undesirable effects as (1) excessive wear of metallic components of hydraulic systems (e.g. pumps and valves) and metal working equipment (e.g. cutting tools, rolls and dies) and (2) metal working products which have poor surface finish and incorrect dimensions. Although many aqueous functional fluids have been proposed by the art and a number of such fluids have been and are being used today in such applications as hydraulics and metal working those fluids have exhibited stability and/or lubricity problems which tend to limit or preclude their effective utilization. Improvements in aqueous functional fluids have therefore been continuously sought by persons skilled in the art.
It is therefore an object of this invention to overcome the disadvantages of prior art aqueous functional fluids and provide a stable, lubricating aqueous functional fluid.
Another object of this invention is to provide a novel lubricant for use in forming a stable, lubricating aqueous functional fluid.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a stable, lubricating aqueous functional fluid containing a novel polyamide lubricant.

Where there is used the corresponding acid halide of the dicarboxylic acid to prepare the polyamide according to formula (I) it is, of course, necessary to convert the terminal acid halide groups of the polyamide product, resulting from the reaction of the acid halide with the amine group terminated polyoxyalkylene homopolymer or copolymer diamine, to the corresponding carboxylic acid group. Such conversion of the terminal acid halide groups to carboxylic acid groups may be accomplished by methods well known in the art.
In accordance with formula (I) R' is a divalent polyoxyalkylene homopolymer or copolymer radical. Such divalent radicals are derived from polyoxyalkylene homopolymer and copolymer diamines by removal of both terminal amine groups from said homopolymer and copolymer diamines. As examples of divalent polyoxyalkylene homopolymer and copolymer radicals there include said divalent radicals resulting from the removal of both terminal amine groups from polyoxyalkylene homopolymer and copolymer diamines such as for example polyoxyethylene diamine, polyoxypropylene diamine, polyoxybutylene diamine, polyoxypropylene/polyoxyethylene block and random copolymer diamine, polyoxypropylene/polyoxyethylene/polyoxypropylene block copolymer diamine, polyoxybutylene/polyoxyethylene/polyoxybutylene block copolymer diamine, polyoxybutylene/polyoxypropylene/polyoxybutylene block copolymer diamine, polyoxypropylene/polyoxybutylene/polyoxypropylene block copolymer diamine, polyoxyethylene/polyoxybutylene block or random copolymer diamine and polyoxypropylene/polyoxybutylene block or random copolymer diamine. The polyoxybutylene may contain 1,2-oxybutylene, 2,3-oxybutylene or 1,4-oxybutylene units. The length of the polyoxyalkylene blocks, i.e. the number of oxyalkylene groups in the block, may vary widely. Where the divalent polyoxyalkylene copolymer radicals are block terpolymer radicals (e.g. polyoxypropylene/polyoxyethylene/polyoxypropylene block terpolymer prepared by oxpropylating both ends of a polyoxyethylene chain) the terminal polyoxyalkylene blocks may be polyoxyethylene, polyoxypropylene or polyoxybutylene blocks containing as few as 2 oxyethylene, oxypropylene or oxybutylene units respectively or there may be present in the terminal block from 3 and up to 20 oxyalkylene units. Although the molecular weight of the polyoxyalkylene homopolymer or copolymer diamine that (1) is the source of the R' divalent radical of the polyamide according to formula (I) and (2) may be used to prepare the polyamide according to formula (I) may vary over a wide range it is preferred to use polyoxyalkylene homopolymer and copolymer diamines having an average molecular weight in the range of from about 72 to about 4000, more preferably in the range of from about 72 to 2000.

The organic amine salt of the terminal carboxylic acid group of the polyamide according to formula (I) may be prepared by methods well known in the art, such as, for example, by adding the organic amine to the polyamide according to formula (I) in the presence of an aqueous medium or conversely adding the polyamide according to formula (I) to the organic amine in the presence of an aqueous medium. In alternative methods the aqueous medium may be omitted or the aqueous medium may be replaced by an inert organic solvent medium.

The salts of the terminal amine group of the polyamide according to formula (I), i.e. the salt of the polyamide according to formula (I) formed by making the salt of the terminal amine group of said polyamide, in the practice of the polyamide and aqueous functional fluid composition of this invention may be the (a) quaternary ammonium salt of the terminal amine, formed by displacement of both of the amine hydrogens by organic (e.g. alkyl) groups, (b) inorganic acid salts (e.g. hydrogen chloride salt) (c) organic acid salts or (d) alkyl halide (e.g. methyl chloride) salt of the terminal amine group.

The resulting polymer may then be isolated from the inert organic reaction medium by a method such as filtration or by evaporation of the organic medium. The reaction may be carried out (a) at room or elevated temperatures, (b) at atmospheric pressure or at pressures above or below atmospheric pressure, (c) with or without the use of a catalyst, (d) with or without the use of an inert atmosphere (e.g. nitrogen) and (e) in the absence of an inert reaction medium.
Conventional methods and apparatus well known in the art may be used to prepare the aqueous functional fluid composition of this invention. As one example of such methods the water soluble or dispersible polyamide according to formula (I) may be added to water. Another method would be to add a water soluble or dispersible salt of a water soluble or dispersible polyamide according to formula (I) to water. In a further method the water soluble or dispersible salt of the water insoluble polyamide according to formula (I) would be added to water. In a still further example of a method for preparing the aqueous functional fluid composition, water could be added to the water soluble or dispersible polyamide according to formula (I), the water soluble or dispersible salt of a water soluble or dispersible polyamide according to formula (I) or the water soluble or dispersible salt of a water insoluble polyamide according to formula (I).

EXAMPLES 114 to 184
500 grams of each of the formulations of Examples 43 to 113 were diluted to 3000 grams with water and the resulting diluted formulations then evaluated for lubricity in accordance with the following test procedure.
Test ProcedureA wedge-shaped high-speed tool is forced against the end of a rotating (88 surface feet per minute) SAE 1020 steel tube of 1/4 inch wall thickness. The feed force of the tool is sufficient to cut a V-groove in the tubing wall, and the chips flow out of the cutting area in two pieces (one piece from each face of the wedge-shaped tool). The forces on the tool as a result of workpiece rotation and of tool feed are measured by a tool post dynamometer connected to a Sanborn recorder. Any welding of chips to tool build-up is reflected in the interruption of chip-flow (visual) and in increased resistance to workpiece rotation. The cutting test is performed with the tool-chip interface flooded throughout the operation with circulating test fluid. Tool and workpiece are in constant dynamic contact during this time, and the test is not begun until full contact is achieved all along each cutting edge. The duration of the test is three minutes.
The results obtained in accordance with the above test procedure are given in the following table.
