The composition comprises: a) a Mannich reaction product of (i) a high molecular weight alkyl-substituted phenol, (ii) amine, and (iii) aldehyde wherein the ratio of (i) to (ii) to (iii) in the reaction is within the range of from 1.0:0.1-10:0.1-10; b) a polyoxyalkylene compound; and c) optionally, poly-.alpha.-olefin; wherein the additive composition contains from about 50 to about 90 wt. % of (a), from about 10 to about 50 wt. % of (b), and from about 0 to about 40 wt. % of (c).
Abstract:
Additives for improving the low temperature flow properties of hydrocarbon oils are disclosed, which comprise the condensation reaction product of alkylated phenol and aldehyde, wherein:(a) the polymer composition has a number average molecular weight of at least about 3,000 and a molecular weight distribution of at least about 1.5;(b) in the alkylated phenol reactant the alkyl groups (i) are essentially linear; (ii) have between 6 and 50 carbon atoms; and (iii) have an average number of carbon atoms between about 12 and 26; and(c) not more than about 10 mole % of the alkyl groups on the alkylated phenol have less than 12 carbon atoms and not more than about 10 mole % of the alkyl groups on the alkylated phenol have more than 26 carbon atoms. The additives may also be sulfurized, or produced in a branched backbone form in which monomer reactants are copolymerized with certain tri- or tetrafunctional comonomers. Blends of these additives with various hydrocarbon oils, and particularly various middle distillates and lubricating oil compositions, whose low temperature flow properties are significantly improved thereby, are also disclosed.

Abstract:
Vehicle driveability problems associated with deposits formed in multiport fuel injectors are alleviated by delivering fuel comprising a particular amine containing various C.sub.6 to C.sub.24 alkyl, aryl, cycloaliphatic, heterocyclic, substituted alkyl or substituted aryl groups and C.sub.1 to C.sub.24 alkyl, aryl, substituted alkyl or aryl, cycloaliphatic or heterocyclic groups. Particular amines include bis(2-hydroxy ethyl) cocoamine, bis(2-hydroxy ethyl tallow amine, bis(2-hydroxy ethyl) stearylamine, dimethylcocoamine, dimethyl hydrogenated tallow amine, dimethylhexadecylamine and mixtures thereof. Fuels containing the amine are stabilized against emulsions by inclusion in the fuel of certain demulsifiers. In the preferred embodiment, the amine is in combination with an oxide derivative thereof.
Abstract:
A fuel composition for internal combustion engines, and more particularly, a fuel composition for internal combustion engines containing less than about 0.5 gram of lead per gallon of fuel is described. The fuel provides acceptable valve seat protection in engines designed to operate on leaded fuels. A further aspect of the invention is to reduce deposit formation within the cylinders.

Abstract:
Compositions made by reacting (I) a metal phenoxide salt of a bridged phenol of 2 to about 20 phenol groups and (II) a carboxylic acid reagent containing from one to three carboxyl-based groups and a halogen-substituted hydrocarbon-based aliphatic or alicyclic group containing a halogen atom are useful as additives for lubricants and normally liquid fuels. Analogous thiophenoxide-based compositions are similarly useful. These compositions can also be used as intermediates for the preparation of other useful additive compositions through their reaction with alcohols, amino compounds, reactive small ring heterocycles and basically reacting metal compounds.
