Abstract:
An additive for middle distillates with a maximum sulfur content of 0.05 percent by weight, comprising at least one fatty acid ester of alkoxylated polyols with at least 3 OH groups (A) and at least one alkylphenol-aldehyde resin (C).
Abstract:
The invention relates to novel copolymers of ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid esters with polyoxyalkylene ethers of lower, unsaturated alcohols, their preparation, their use as flow-improving agents for paraffin-containing oils, and oils which contain such copolymers. The invention also relates to the use of known copolymers of ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid esters with polyoxyalkylene ethers of allyl and/or methallyl alcohol as flow-improving agents for paraffin-containing oils.
Abstract:
Copolymers of straight chain alpha olefins and maleic anhydride esterified with an alcohol wherein the alpha olefin is of the formula:R.CH=CH.sub.2and the alcohol is of the formula:R.sup.1 OHin which at least one of R and R.sup.1 is greater than 10 and the sum of R and R.sup.1 is from 18 to 38 and R.sup.1 is linear or contains a methyl branch at the 1 or 2 position have been found to be effective additives for improving the low temperature properties of distillate fuels.
Abstract:
Novel reaction products of aminoalkylene polycarboxylic acids with secondary amines and their use as additives to middle distillates together with conventional ethylene copolymers as flow improvers and conductivity improves.
Abstract:
Lubricating oil additives having both dispersant and viscosity-index improving properties are prepared by reacting terpolymers of ethylene, a C.sub.3 to C.sub.8 alpha-olefin, and a non-conjugated diene with maleic anhydride and certain alkane polyols.
Abstract:
Cold flow properties of fuel oils are improved by addition thereto of certain oil-soluble, pour point depressant polymers together with non-nitrogen containing, oil-soluble, auxiliary, flow improving compounds.
Abstract:
An additive composition comprises a polymer (A) and a condensation product (B). Polymer (A) comprises the following monomer components: (i) one or more compounds of formula (I) wherein R1 is hydrogen or CH3; and R2 is a hydrocarbon group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms and is a straight-chain or branched-chain alkyl group, or an aliphatic or aromatic cyclic group; (ii) one or more compounds of formula (II) wherein R1 has the meaning above and wherein R3 is hydrogen or C1-C22 alkyl; each R4 is independently hydrogen or C1-C22 alkyl; R5 is hydrogen, a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic or aromatic cyclic group, or a substituted or unsubstituted straight-chain or branched-chain alkyl group having 1 to 22 carbon atoms; n=0 or an integer from 1 to 22; and m is an integer from 1 to 30; and (iii) one or more compounds of formula (III) wherein R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 are each independently hydrogen, a straight-chain or branched-chain alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms which may be substituted or unsubstituted, hydroxyl, NH2, or wherein two or more of R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 may together form an aliphatic or aromatic ring system, which ring system may be substituted or unsubstituted. Condensation product (B) comprises the product formed by the reaction of an aliphatic aldehyde or ketone, or a reactive equivalent, with a substituted phenol or mixture of substituted phenols. The weight:weight ratio of the polymer (A) to the condensation product (B) is from 1:20 to 20:1
Abstract:
An additive may be added to an oil-based fluid having at least one wax foulant therein. The additive may be or include an alpha olefin copolymer, an alkyl phenol-formaldehyde resin, an alkyl acrylate, a polyalkyl methacrylate, ethylene vinyl acetate co-polymer, ethylene vinyl acetate terpolymer, imidazoline, and combinations thereof. The additive may alter at least one property of the wax foulant as compared to an otherwise identical oil-based fluid absent the additive. The altered property may be or include the amount of wax foulant deposited, the amount of paraffinic wax dispersed, settling rate of the paraffinic wax foulant, viscosity of the paraffinic wax foulant, shape of the paraffinic wax foulant, such as but not limited to softening the wax foulant, and combinations thereof.
