Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of certain ethers as activity-enhancers for water-soluble biocides in homopolar hydrocarbons. The invention also relates to the use of at least one water-soluble biocide combined with at least one of said ethers for controlling micro-organisms and/or for reducing or preventing the multiplication of micro-organisms in essentially water-immiscible hydrocarbons. The invention also relates to additive compositions and hydrocarbon compositions comprising such ethers and biocides, and to a method for controlling micro-organisms and/or for reducing or preventing the multiplication of micro-organisms in hydrocarbons, according to which such a biocide and at least such an ether are added to the hydrocarbon.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a copolymer having high chemical uniformity, made of (A) 50 to 30 wt % of ethylene, (B) 50 to 70 wt % of C4- to C24-hydrocarbylester of (meth)acrylic acid, (C) 0 to 5 wt % of (meth)acrylic acid, and (D) 0 to 10 wt % of copolymerizable monomers that can be obtained by the polymerization of a mixture of 80 to 60 wt % of ethylene, 20 to 40 wt % of (meth)acrylic acid, and 0 to 10 wt % of copolymerizable monomers in a back mixing, continuously operating polymerization apparatus, and the subsequent polymeric analogous esterification of the copolymer thus obtained with C4- to C24-hydrocarbinols. The copolymer according to the invention is suitable for improving the cold flow properties of fuel oils, for reducing the lower mixing temperature of cold flow improving additives in fuel oils, and for improving the filterability of fuel oils containing cold flow improving additives.

Abstract:
Branched decyl nitrates of the formula R1R2CH-CH2-O-NO2 in which R1 is an n-propyl or isopropyl radical and R2 is a linear or branched alkyl radical having 5 carbon atoms are suitable as combustion improvers and/or cetane number improvers in fuels.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of a mixture comprising (A) 5 to 95 wt % of at least one oil-soluble polar nitrogen compound that can interact with paraffin crystals in middle distillate fuels in the cold, and (B) 5 to 95 wt % of at least one oil-soluble aliphatic compound having alkyl or alkenyl chain having at least 8 carbon atoms that can be obtained from aliphatic mono or dicarboxylic acids having 4 to 300 carbon atoms or derivatives thereof having mono or polyamines or having alcohols for reducing the cloud point in middle distillate fuels that have a CP value of -8.0°C or lower before the addition of additives by at least 1.5°C compared to the middle distillate fuel without additives at a dosing of the mixture from 50 to 300 wt ppm, with simultaneous non-deterioration of the response characteristic for reducing the cold filter plugging point upon addition of cold flow improvers.
