Abstract:
Crude oils and residual fuel oils having improved pour point and flow properties are obtained by incorporating therein a small amount of a new terpolymer prepared from ethylene, a vinyl ester, and a dialkylvinyl carbinol. The terpolymer has a number average molecular weight of about 500-10,000 and suitably contains 45-80 wt. % ethylene, 10-25 wt. % vinyl ester of a fatty acid having up to about eight carbon atoms and 10-30 wt. % dialkylvinyl carbinol wherein the alkyl groups have up to about six carbon atoms.
Abstract:
ORGANOPHOSPORUS PRODUCTS OF THE REACTION OF ONE MOL OF DIETHYL PHOSPHITE AND ABOUT 0.5-2 MOLS OF AN OXIDIZED POLYMER OBTAINED BY TREATING A C2-4 POLYMER, HAVING A MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF ABOUT 250-5000, WITH AIR IN THE PRESENCE OF A CATALYTIC AMOUNT OF MANGANOUS CARBONATE AT ABOUT 130-180*C. FOR ABOUT 20-60 HOUTRS, ARE USEFUL AS ASHLESS WEAR INHIBITORS IN LUBRICATING OIL COMPOSITIONS.
