Abstract
The disclosed polysulfided olefin compositions can be used in particular as extreme-pressure additives for lubricants. They are prepared by a process comprising the steps of: (1) reacting sulfur monochloride and/or dichloride with at least one monoolefin having 2 to 5 carbon atoms (generally isobutene) to form an "adduct"; (2) contacting said "adduct" jointly with an unsaturated monohalogenated hydrocarbon compound, in a proportion corresponding to a number of halogen gram-atoms from about 1 to 70% of the number of halogen gram-atoms of the assembly "monohalogenated hydrocarbon compound+adduct", with a sulfur compound (e.g. alkaline sulfide, hydrogenosulfide or polysulfide) and, mostly, element sulfur, in a proportion of 0 to 7 gram-atoms per mole of sulfur compound, within an aqueous or hydroalcoholic medium; (3) heating the mixture and, after settling in 2 phases, separating the organic phase containing the polysulfided olefin, and (4) optionally treating the obtained product with a base. The obtained polysulfided olefins, depending on their sulfur content, may be used as extreme-pressure additives in oil compositions for gears or for metal working.
