Abstract:
A process for preparing polyether alcohols by reacting at least one alkylene oxide with at least one unsaturated starter having at least one active hydrogen atom per molecule under basic catalysis, which comprises performing the alkoxylation in at least two stages, the alkoxylation of the starter(s) being performed in stage (I) with a maximum of 10 mol of alkylene oxide per mole of starter with a catalyst concentration of not more than 0.0085 mol of basic catalyst per mole, and, in stage (II) and any subsequent stages, reacting the alkoxylated starter(s) from stage (I) with further alkylene oxide at a catalyst concentration of at least 0.010 mol of basic catalyst per mole of starter.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a mixture from: a) polar oil-soluble nitrogen compounds which are capable of sufficiently dispersing in fuels paraffin crystals that build up under cold conditions, b) oil-soluble acid amides from polyamines with 2 to 1000 nitrogen atoms and C8 to C30 fatty acids or fatty acid-analog compounds containing free carboxyl groups, and c) oil-soluble reaction products from α,β-dicarboxylic acids with 4 to 300 carbon atoms or the derivatives thereof and primary alkyl amines. The mixture according to the invention is suitable as a paraffin dispersant in fuels, especially in fuels having a biodiesel content.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of hydrophobically associating macromonomers M and to the novel macromonomers produced by the inventive method. The macromonomers M comprise a copolymerizable, ethylenically unsaturated group and a polyether structure in block form which comprises a polyethylenoxy block and a hydrophobic polyalkylenoxy block consisting of alkylenoxy-units with at least 4 carbon atoms. Optionally, the macromonomers M may comprise a terminal polyethylenoxy block. The macromonomers produced by the inventive method are suitable for reaction with other monomers, in particular with acrylamide, to form a water-soluble, hydrophobically associating copolymer.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the alkoxylation of a first polymer comprising at least one monomer unit having NH groups and optionally NH2 groups, wherein the first polymer has a molecular weight Mw of at least 500 g/mol, comprising the steps of (a) reacting the first polymer with alkylene oxide in a reaction mixture comprising a solvent until the average degree of alkoxylation of each NH group and each optional NH2 group, calculated as two NH groups, is from 0.75 to 1.25; (b) adding a second polymer of formula (I), wherein R is a linear or branched alkyl group having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, each R' is independently a linear or branched alkyl group having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms or hydrogen, each n is independently from 1 to 5 and m is from 5 to 40, to the reaction mixture of step (a); (c) at least partially removing the solvent from the reaction mixture of step (b); and (d) further reacting the reaction mixture of step (c) with alkylene oxide at a given temperature until the average degree of alkoxylation of each NH group and each optional NH2 group, calculated as two NH groups, of the first polymer is from 2 to 40. The present invention also relates to a polymer composition obtainable from that process and the use of such a polymer composition.
