Abstract: A composition and method of improving the fuel economy of hydrocarbon fuel-powdered internal combustion engines. The composition contains a propoxylated and/or butoxylated reaction product of (a) at least one fatty acid, fatty acid ester, or mixture thereof and (b) a dialkanolamime. The composition is added to a hydrocarbon fuel in an amount of about 5 to about 2,000 ppm, based on the weight of the hydrocarbon fuel, to reduce friction within the engine and achieve an enhanced fuel economy.

Abstract: A fuel additive composition includes a polyalkenylsuccinimide, a mono or polyfunctional polyisobutene amine, and a carrier oil selected from the group of mineral oils, polyethers, polyetheramines, esters, and combinations thereof. The polyalkenylsuccinimide includes the reaction product of a hydrocarbyl dicarboxylic acid producing reaction intermediate and a nucleophilic reactant. The hydrocarbyl dicarboxylic acid producing reaction intermediate includes the reaction product of a polyolefin comprising C2 to C18 olefin units and having a number average molecular weight (Mn) of about 500 to 5,000 g/mol and a C4 to C10 monounsaturated acid reactant. The hydrocarbyl dicarboxylic acid producing reaction intermediate includes from 0.5 to 10 dicarboxylic acid producing moieties per molecule of the polyolefin. The nucleophilic reactant is selected from the group of amines, alcohols, amino alcohols, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: A star-branched polymer comprising a core portion and polymeric arms. The core portion is obtained by anionic polymerization of at least one unsaturated acrylate or methacrylate ester of a polyol and the polymeric arms are obtained by anionic polymerization of at least one acrylic or methacrylic monomer.

Abstract: A high temperature lubricant composition comprising polycarboxylic acid esters and organophosphorus compounds is described. This composition is useful for lubricating very high temperature diesel engines. A method of rectifying used lubricant compositions is also described.

Abstract: Dibromoneopentyl phosphate melamine salt is a novel flame retardant suitable for plastics, textiles and fabric backcoatings. The dibromoneopentyl phosphate melamine salt is prepared by the reaction of dibromoneopentyl phosphoric acid with melamine.

Abstract: Certain heretocyclic hydrogen phosphonates are disclosed as having utility in functional fluids, particularly synthetic lubricants and/or water-based functional fluids. Antiwear characteristics and other properties are improved by the blending of additives such as spiro-bis-hydrogen phosphonate and cycloneopentyl hydrogen phosphonate with non-petroleum base stocks such as water, phosphate esters, and mixed polyalphaolefins/polyol esters. Preferred formulations are disclosed.

Abstract: Liquid-water displacement compositions containing a normally liquid chlorofluorocarbon compound with a surfactant comprising a tetraalkyl ammonium compound derived from an aryl acid phosphate are described. They are useful in aiding in the substantially complete removal of water from the surface of metals.
