Abstract:
Novel uses of copolymers for removing and/or reducing the level of deposits in the fuel system and/or injection system of direct injection diesel and/or gasoline engines are provided. What is provided is the use of particular copolymers as fuel additive or lubricant additive; to processes for preparation of such additives, and fuels and lubricants added therewith, such as, more particularly, as a detergent additive; to use of these copolymers for reducing the level of or preventing deposits in the fuel systems and especially the injection systems of direct injection diesel engines, especially in common rail injection systems, for reducing the fuel consumption of direct injection diesel engines, especially of diesel engines with common rail injection systems, and for minimizing power loss in direct injection diesel engines, especially in diesel engines with common rail injection systems; and as an additive for gasoline fuels, especially for operation of DISI engines.

Abstract:
Lubricants with a terpolymer made of diester, olefin and acrylate The invention relates to a lubricant comprising a terpolymer which comprises in polymerized forma diester selected from di(C4-C22 alkyl)ester of maleic acid, fumaric acid, 2-methylmaleic acid, 2,3-dimethylmaleic acid, 2-methylfumaric acid, 2,3-dimethylfumaric acid, or mixtures thereof, an olefin selected from C6-C40 alky-1-ene, and an acrylate selected from C4-C40 alkyl (meth)acrylate. The invention further relates to the terpolymer, a process for preparing the terpolymer comprising the step of polymerizing the diester, the olefin, and the acrylate; and to a method for reducing friction between moving surfaces comprising the step of contacting the surfaces with the lubricant or with the terpolymer.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a lubricant comprising a liquid ethylene copolymer which comprises in polymerized form 20 to 60 wt % of ethylene; and at least 20 wt % of an acrylate, which is selected from C1-C22 alkyl (meth)acrylate. It further relates to the liquid ethylene copolymer; and to a method for reducing friction between moving surfaces comprising the step of contacting the surfaces with the lubricant or with the ethylene copolymer.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a continuous high-pressure polymerization process for the preparation of a liquid ethylene copolymer which comprises in polymerized for methylene; and a reactive acrylate which is selected from hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, and hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate, where a monomer feed comprising the ethylene and the reactive acrylate is polymerized in the presence of at least 2 wt % of a chain transfer agent. The present invention also relates to the liquid ethylene copolymer, to a coating material comprising the liquid ethylene copolymer and to a use of the liquid ethylene copolymer to produce a coating material.
Abstract:
