Abstract:
The subject matter of the present invention is a fuel composition which comprises —at least 85% by weight of one or more fractions of hydrocarbons having a distillation range within the range extending from 100 to 400° C. and having a paraffin content greater than or equal to 90% by weight; —at least a first additive consisting of a particular quaternary ammonium salt; and —at least a second additive consisting of a phenolic antioxidant. The subject matter of the invention is also the use of a composition of additives comprising said first and second additives, for improving at least one property of a paraffin-rich fuel composition.
Abstract:
High temperature antioxidant additives and methods that improve a liquid fuel composition's thermal oxidative stability are disclosed. A liquid fuel composition may comprise a liquid fuel and a high temperature antioxidant additive. The high temperature antioxidant additive may comprise an aromatic carbocyclic ring that is monocyclic and comprises substituents comprising a hydroxyl group and an iminomethyl group positioned in an ortho relationship.
Abstract:
A liquid fuel composition comprising a base fuel suitable for use in an internal combustion engine; one or more organic UV filter compounds; and one or more ester co-additive compounds provides improvements in terms of stability properties in an additive blend containing said one or more organic UV filter compounds and said one or more ester co-additive compounds, particularly at low temperatures, such as temperatures of 5° C. or lower.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a fuel composition useful for internal combustion engine having an Octane Number from 95 to 105 comprising: (a) an unleaded and devoid of organometal compounds base gasoline having an Octane Number (RON) from 90.1 to 103: (b) one or more aromatic amines selected in the group consisting of: (b1) 2,4-dialkylaniline, wherein the alkyl groups in position 2 and 4, independently one from the other, are selected in the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, preferably both the alkyl groups in position 2 and 4 are methyl; (b2) N-Nitrosodiphenylamine. The process for preparing the above composition is also described along with the use of the aromatic amines selected between (b1) and (b2) and related mixtures for increasing the Octane Number.
Abstract:
An additive composition improves the stability and the engine performances of gas oils, including gas oils of the non-road type in compliance with the decree of 10 Dec. 2010, including: (a) at least one metal deactivator or chelating agent, (b) at least one antioxidant of the hindered phenol type (alkylphenol), (c) at least one dispersant and/or detergent, (d) at least one metal passivator, where the compositions include improved properties, in particular relative to the oxidation resistance, storage stability, thermal stability, reduction in fouling of the injectors, reduction in loss of power, reduction in the tendency of the filters to clog.
