Abstract: Oil compositions comprising a lubricating oil and an oil-soluble hydrocarbon polymeric viscosity index improver such as ethylene-propylene copolymers are substantially haze-free when said composition contains an anti-hazing amount of an oil-soluble strong acid containing a hydrogen dissociating moiety which has a pK of less than about 2.5, e.g. a C.sub.25 to C.sub.70 hydrocarbyl substituted sulfonic acid. The invention also relates to the process for preparing said compositions.

Abstract: Hydrocarbon polymers, preferably polymers having a degree of crystallinity of less than about 25 weight percent and comprising about 2 to 98 weight percent ethylene, and one or more C.sub.3 to C.sub.28 alpha-olefins, are mechanically grafted under an inert atmosphere and at elevated temperatures, in the presence of an amine compound, to form an amino-grafted polymer. The resulting aminated polymers are useful as sludge dispersants for fuels and lubricants. When the aminated polymers have a higher molecular weight, they are also useful as viscosity-index improvers with dispersant and/or pour point depressant activity.

Abstract: Adducts are formed in a process which involves the reaction of an olefin, including olefin polymers, with a dimeric thionophosphine sulfide. Further derivatives may be formed by reacting the resulting olefin-thionophosphine sulfide adduct products with amines, e.g., alkylene polyamines, aziridines, phosphines or metal salts, e.g., zinc salts. Or, alkylene polyamine- or aziridine- treated olefin-thionophosphine sulfide reaction products may be further reacted with metal salts, e.g., zinc acetate. A representative material can be prepared by reacting polyisobutylene with an arylthionophosphine sulfide, and then further reacting the resulting cyclic bis(phosphinodithioic acid) anhydride product with an alkylene polyamine or aziridine, which in turn, may be further modified by reaction with zinc acetate.The oil soluble olefin-thionophosphine sulfide products, as well as its oil soluble derivatives outlined above, may be used as additives for lubricating oil, and petroleum fuels, e.g., gasoline or fuel oil.

Abstract: Polymeric alkyl-hydroxy benzyl N-substituted amines having a high degree of ring formation are derived from the condensation reaction of C.sub.8 -C.sub.40 aliphatic alkyl substituted hydroxy aromatic, an aldehyde and an amine, wherein the molar ratio of said aromatic to said amine is about 2 to one, with said aldehyde being present in a molar amount in excess of said aromatic. These novel amines are useful as a detergent and/or antioxidant additive for liquid hydrocarbons, e.g., in lubricating oils for gasoline engines that have a two stroke cycle.

Abstract: Synthetic hydrocarbon lubricating oils with very low pour points and low viscosities are produced by polymerizing alpha-olefins of from 5 to 20, preferably 10 to 14 carbon atoms, at temperatures in the range of 300.degree. to 800.degree. F in the presence of an acidic catalyst of the crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite molecular sieve-type. The products are predominantly of the paraffinic and naphthenic hydrocarbon types. Aromaticity can be introduced by polymerizing the olefins in the presence of aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene. The products are useful as lubricants in arctic climates and in other applications where low pour points are required, such as for transformer oils.
