Abstract:
The present invention relates to a middle-pressure polymerization process for the preparation of a liquid ethylene copolymer which comprises in polymerized form 20 to 60 wt % of ethylene; and at least 20 wt % of an acrylate, which is selected from C1-C22 alkyl (meth)acrylate, where a monomer mix comprising the ethylene and the acrylate is polymerized at a pressure of 50 to 400 bar and in the presence of at least 2 wt % of a chain transfer agent. The invention further relates to a liquid ethylene copolymer obtainable by the polymerization process; and to a lubricant comprising the liquid ethylene copolymer obtainable by the polymerization process; and to a method for reducing friction between moving surfaces comprising the step of contacting the surfaces with the lubricant or with the ethylene copolymer.
Abstract:
Novel uses of copolymers for removing and/or reducing the level of deposits in the fuel system and/or injection system of direct injection diesel and/or gasoline engines are provided. What is provided is the use of particular copolymers as fuel additive or lubricant additive; to processes for preparation of such additives, and fuels and lubricants added therewith, such as, more particularly, as a detergent additive; to use of these copolymers for reducing the level of or preventing deposits in the fuel systems and especially the injection systems of direct injection diesel engines, especially in common rail injection systems, for reducing the fuel consumption of direct injection diesel engines, especially of diesel engines with common rail injection systems, and for minimizing power loss in direct injection diesel engines, especially in diesel engines with common rail injection systems; and as an additive for gasoline fuels, especially for operation of DISI engines.
