  • Patent number: 4594378
    Abstract: Polymeric compositions are described which comprise a mixture of(A) at least one oil-soluble polymer which is a homopolymer of a non-aromatic monoolefin or a copolymer of said non-aromatic monoolefin with an aromatic monoolefin, and(B-1) at least one nitrogen-containing ester of a carboxy-containing interpolymer, and/or(B-2) at least one oil-soluble acrylate polymerization product of at least one acrylate ester, or a mixture of one or more of (B-1) and (B-2). The polymeric compositions of the invention also may contain(C) an effective amount of at least one viscosity-reducing liquid organic diluent such as a naphthenic oil or an alkylated aromatic material.
