MULTIPLE METAL CORROSION INHIBITOR

Disclosed is a lubricant composition comprising a) a lubricant, b) a triazole metal deactivator, c) a borate ester and optionally d) an amine phosphate. The lubricants, e.g. engine oils or functional fluids exhibit low corrosion of lead, copper, iron and zinc. The metal deactivators are 1,2,4-triazoles, for example 1-(di-isooctylaminomethyl)-1,2,4-triazole or 1-(di-(2-ethylhexyl)aminomethyl)-1,2,4-triazole, or are benzotriazoles, for example 1-(2-methoxyprop-2-yl)tolyltriazole, 1-(1-cyclohexyloxypropyl)tolyltriazole, 1-(1-cyclohexyloxyheptyl)tolyltriazole or 1-(1-cyclohexyloxybutyl)tolyltriazole or 1-[bis(2-ethylhexyl)aminomethyl-4-methylbenzotriazole. The borate esters are for example triethyl borate, tripropyl borate, triisopropyle borate, tributyl borate, tripentyl borate, trihexyl borate, tricyclohexyl borate, trioctyl borate, triisooctyl borate, tridecyl borate, tri(C8C10) borate, tri (C12-C15) borate or oleyl borate. The amine phosphate are for example wherein R33 is n-hexyl and R34 is C11-C14 branched alkyl, and when x=1 then y=2; when x=2 then y=1.
