Abstract:
Additives which improve the low-temperature properties of distillate fuels are oligomeric/polymeric reaction products consisting of cross-linked anhydride and cross-linked epoxide (or their corresponding acid/diol equivalents), with optional termonomers.
Abstract:
The invention relates to additives for middle distillates having a maximal sulphur content of 0.05 wt. %. Said additives contain at least one fatty acid ester of alkoxylated polyols with at least 3 OH groups (A) and at least one polar nitrogenous paraffin dispersant (D).
Abstract:
The lubricity (anti-wear properties) of fuels, for example hydrocarbon fuels, oxygenated fuels or mixtures thereof, particularly diesel or aviation fuels having reduced sulphur and/or aromatic content for compliance with regulator requirements, is improved by addition of at least a product which can be obtained by reacting components a), b) and c), where component a) is a compound of the formula I or a mixture of compounds of the formula I, component b) is a compound of the formula II or a mixture of compounds of the formula II and component c) is a compound of the formula III or a mixture of compounds of the formula III, in which the general symbols are as defined in claim 1, the compound of the formula I being, for example, pentaerythritol, thiodiethylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,4-propanediol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, diethanolamine or glycerol, the compound of the formula II being, for example, sunflower oil or coconut fat, and the compound of the formula III being, for example, methyl 3-(3',5'-di-tert-butyl-4'-hydroxyphenyl)propionate. The abovementioned products also improve corrosion inhibition.
