  • Patent number: 8236069
    Abstract: The present invention relates to acrylic block polymers, either block copolymers or homopolymers, synthesized by a controlled free-radical process, and their use as low temperature flow modifiers in bio-derived fuel compositions. They are especially useful in modifying the low temperature flow behavior in bio-derived fuels. The acrylic polymers are especially useful as cold filter plugging control additives in bio-derived fuels.

  • Publication number: 20110154724
    Abstract: Compositions containing unsaturated fatty esters may be stabilized against atmospheric oxidation by the addition of an antioxidant package containing at least one nitroxide free-radical scavenger and at least one alkylalkanolamine. Compositions treated in this manner show good resistance to atmospheric oxidation and resultant viscosity increase. An advantage of the nitroxide free-radical scavenger is that it stops the oxidation of the unsaturated fatty esters already during the initiation stage. Moreover, it is much less volatile than for example the known alkylhydroxylamine oxygen scavengers. By the use of a nitroxide free-radical scavenger, the composition can thus be stabilized for a longer period of time. The stability period is moreover less affected by the supply of oxygen to the composition. The solubility problem of the nitroxide in the fatty ester component can be solved by dissolving the nitroxide first in the alkylalkanolamine.

  • Publication number: 20100041801
    Abstract: Latex paint formulations that contain at least one N-alkyldialkanolamine as the neutralizing agent and methods for their use are disclosed. N-alkyldialkanolamines provide paint formulations that have low odor, increased open time, and reduced volatile organic compounds (VOC). N-alkyldialkanolamines also aid in pigment dispersion so less pigment dispersant is required for paint formulations in which the pigment volume concentration (PVC) of the formulation is 10% to 70%.

  • Publication number: 20080209798
    Abstract: Fuels containing biodiesel, petroleum distillates, or blends of these may be treated by the addition of small amounts of one or more alkanolamines according to formula (I) Rn—N(CH2CHR1OH)3-n ; ??(I) wherein n is 1 or 2, R1 is H or CH3, and each R is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and branched, linear, and cyclic C3-C24 alkyl groups, provided that at least one R is not hydrogen. Fuels treated in this manner may be less corrosive toward metals with which they are in contact.
