Abstract:
A method, composition and filter for reducing the presence of sludge or varnish precursors in a lubricating oil circulating within an internal combustion engine. The lubricating oil containing sludge or varnish precursors is contacted with discrete particles of an oil insoluble, oil wettable compound having an antioxidant functional group and/or a dispersant functional group, which are capable of complexing with sludge or varnish precursors. Preferably the compounds comprise a crosslinked amine having ethylene amine functionality.
Abstract:
Gel-free dispersant additives for lubricating and fuel oil compositions comprise at least one adduct of (A) alpha -olefin homopolymer or interpolymer of 700 to 10,000 M &cir& NOt n, free radically grafted with an average of from 0.5 to 5 carboxylic acid producing moieties per polymer chain, and (B) at least one non-aromatic nucleophilic post-treating reactant selected from: (i) amines containing only a single reactive amino group per molecule, (ii) alcohols containing only a single hydroxy group per molecule, (iii) polyamines containing at least two reactive amino groups per molecule, (iv) polyols containing at least two reactive hydroxy groups per molecule, (v) aminoalcohols containing at least one reactive amino group and at least one reactive hydroxy group per molecule, and (vi) mixtures of (i) to (v); provided that when said post-treating reactant includes one or more of (iii), (iv) or (v), the reaction between ( A) and (B) is conducted in the presence of sufficient chain-stopping or end-capping co-reactant (C) to ensure that the grafted and post-reacted product mixture is gel-free.
Abstract:
A polymer having a terminal aldehyde or hydroxyl substituent which may be used directly or in a derivative form as a dispersant for both fuel and lubricating oil compositions, wherein the polymer has a Mn of about 300 to 10,000, and is derived from a polyolefin which is derived from a monomer of the formula: H2C=CHR , wherein R is hydrogen or a straight or branched chain alkyl radical, and wherein the polyolefin preferably has at least about 30 % terminal vinylidene unsaturation. Particularly desirable also are alkylamino derivatives formed by either a single step aminomethylation process or a two step hydroformylation and reductive amination process in the preferred polyolefins. Polyene(diene)-containing copolymers and terpolymers may also be used to prepare the polymer.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for the production of trialkylacetic acids from branched olefins and carbon monoxide in a non-aqueous reaction system using a solid acid resin catalyst comprising a cationic resin having sufficient acid groups to provide requisite protons for reactant conversion to trialkylacetic acids.

Abstract:
This invention relates to an adhesive composition comprising a copolymer comprising units derived from one or more macromonomers and an unsaturated acid or an unsaturated anhydride wherein the weight average molecular weight of the copolymer is at least twice the weight average molecular weight of the macromonomer, the melt index of the copolymer is 1 dg/min or more, and wherein the macromonomer: (1) has a weight average molecular weight between 500 and 100,000; (2) has at least 30% terminal unsaturation; and (3) comprises a copolymer of ethylene and at least one alpha -olefin, and/or a copolymer of propylene and ethylene or an alpha -olefin.
