Abstract:
Low molecular weight oxazine ring-containing Mannich base condensates of hydroxy aromatic compounds, aldehyde; and amine. Such compounds are useful as soot dispersants in lubricating oils when used alone, or in combination with high molecular weight dispersants.
Abstract:
An additive composition for limiting the chemical degradation of hydrocarbonaceous liquids due to nitrogen dioxide contamination at elevated temperature comprises the combination of an ionic liquid composed of a cation and a boron- and halogen-free, multi-functional anion and a detergent additive, the combination of ionic liquid and detergent serving to inhibit the nitration of hydrocarbonaceous liquid components that initiates degradation.
Abstract:
A method of improving the transportation of a crude oil which has been recovered from a crude oil well, the method comprising adding one or more glycerophospholipid(s) to a crude oil before and/or during the transportation of said crude oil.
Abstract:
A lubricating oil composition having less than 0.2 wt. % sulfur, less than 50 ppm chlorine, less than 50 ppm phosphorus, a NOACK volatility of 15 wt. % or less comprising an organo-molybdenum compound, an overbased calcium or magnesium salicylate, a dispersant and a supplemental antioxidant.
Abstract:
A lubricant additive concentrate having a kinematic viscosity of from about 40 to about 300 cSt at 100° C., containing a dispersant-detergent colloid complex, including a polybutenyl succinimide dispersant that is the reaction product of a polyamine and polybutenyl succinic anhydride (PIBSA) derived from polybutene having a number average molecular weight (Mn) of from about 1300 to about 2500 and a terminal vinylidene content of at least about 65%, and succinic and/or maleic anhydride via an ene maleation process, the PIBSA having a succinic anhydride (SA) functionality (F) of greater than 1.7 and less than about 2.5; and a detergent colloid including overbased detergent having a total base number (TBN) of from about 370 to about 1000 mg KOH/g derived from one or more surfactants selected from (i) sulfonate; (ii) phenate; and (iii) carboxylate surfactant; in which the mass ratio of the dispersant to the overbased detergent colloid in the concentrate is from about 0.5 to about 5.0; and the dispersant and overbased colloidal together constitute at least 28 mass %, of the concentrate.
Abstract:
A gas engine lubricating oil composition having a boron content of more than 95 ppm, the gas engine lubricating oil composition comprising: a major amount of a lubricating oil having a viscosity index of 80 to 120, and including at least 90 mass percent of saturates and 0.03 mass percent or less of sulphur; and at least one metal detergent.The gas engine lubricating oil composition exhibits improved oxidation and reduced deposit formation.
Abstract:
An additive composition for a fuel oil composition and that is free of polycyclic carboxylic acids and of acid derivatives thereof comprises an additive that comprises one or more monocarboxylic acids, each having from 10 to 24 carbon atoms, or acid derivatives thereof, optionally in combination with one or both of an anti-oxidant additive and an anti-static additive.
Abstract:
A fuel oil containing a conductivity improving additive comprising the combination of: (a) a polymethacrylate, polyacrylate or polyfumarate polymer not prepared from a quaternary ammonium monomer and having a number average molecular weight of about 1,000 to 10,000,000 and either (b) a conductivity improver comprising (i) an olefin polysulfone and (ii) a polymeric polyamine reaction product of epichlorohydrin and an aliphatic primary monoamine or an N-aliphatic hydrocarbyl alkylene diamine, or the sulfonic acid salt of the polymeric polyamine reaction product or (c) a conductivity improver comprising a hydrocarbon soluble copolymer of an alkylvinyl monomer and a cationic vinyl monomer, wherein the copolymer has an alkylvinyl monomer unit to cationic vinyl monomer unit ratio of from about 1:1 to about 10:1, the copolymer having a number average molecular weight of from about 800 to about 1,000,000.
Abstract:
A copolymer comprising units derivable from (A) one or more olefins of defined chain length; and (B) one or more ethylenically unsaturated compounds different from (A). The copolymers are useful as cold flow improvers in fuel oils.
