Abstract:
The combination of a fuel-soluble succinimide detergent/dispersant, a fuel-soluble liquid carrier or induction aid therefor, and a fuel-soluble cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl compound can sharply reduce the formation or accumulation of engine deposits such as intake valve deposits in internal combustion engines. In fact, such compositions can function synergistically whereby the effectiveness of a highly effective succinimide-based deposit control additive can be improved by the addition thereto of the manganese compound, the latter not known to be a substance that reduces deposits.
Abstract:
N-substituted hydroxylamines of formula I ##STR1## where R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, aryl or phenylalkyl, and R.sub.3 to R.sub.7 are independently hydrogen, alkyl or substituted alkyl are very effective process stabilizers for polymeric systems providing melt flow stabilization and resistance to discoloration during processing at elevated temperatures as well as effective stabilizers for lubricant compositions.
Abstract:
Chemical compounds, having a melting point between 70.degree. C. and 130.degree. C. and soluble in hydrocarbons, are used as solid carriers in order to dose conveniently additives for fuels for internal combustion engines. The compounds are selected from the group consisting of alkyl-substituted phenols, aromatic carbonates, alkyl-substituted pyrocatechols, polymers of alkyl-substituted 1,2-dihydroquinoline.
Abstract:
An additive concentrate for incorporation into wax containing petroleum fuel oil compositions to improve low temperature flow properties comprising an oil solution containing:(A) a C.sub.30 -C.sub.300 oil-soluble nitrogen salt and/or amide compound wax crystal growth inhibitor formed by reaction of alicyclic C.sub.4 to C.sub.10 carboxylic acid and long chain secondary amine;(B) an organic acid to improve the solubility of (A) in the oil, which acid includes non-linear carboxylic acids including branched or unsaturated fatty acids, aromatic acids, e.g. benzoic acid, phenols, and organic phosphorus containing acids; and(C) a copolymer of ethylene and an unsaturated ester, e.g. vinyl acetate.
