  • Publication number: 20090064568
    Abstract: The present invention relates to motor fuel compositions comprising at least one diesel fuel of mineral origin and at least one biodiesel fuel, characterized in that the fuel composition contains at least 20% by weight of diesel fuel of mineral origin and 0.05% to 5% by weight of at least one polymer which comprises ester groups and contains repeating units that are derived from ester monomers having 16 to 40 carbon atoms in the alcohol radical, and repeating units that are derived from ester monomers having 7 to 15 carbon atoms in the alcohol radical. The present invention further describes the use of polymers comprising ester groups as flow improvers, and also a process for operating a diesel engine.

  • Publication number: 20080194443
    Abstract: The invention relates to comb polymers which comprise, in the main chain, repeating units which are derived from polyolefin-based macromonomers, and repeating units which are derived from low molecular monomers which are selected from the group consisting of styrene monomers having 8-17 carbon atoms, alkyl(meth)acrylates having 1-10 carbon atoms in the alcohol group, vinyl esters having 1-11 carbon atoms in the acyl group, vinyl ethers having 1-10 carbon atoms in the alcohol group, (Di)alkylfumarates having 1-10 carbon atoms in the alcohol group, (Di)alkylmaleates having 1-10 carbon atoms in the alcohol group and mixtures of said monomers. The molar branching degree lies in the region between 0.1-10 mol. % and the comb polymer represents the sum of at least 80 wt.

  • Publication number: 20080146475
    Abstract: (EN) The present invention relates to copolymers obtainable by polymerizing a monomer composition composed of a) 0% to 40% by weight of one or more ethylenically unsaturated ester compounds of the formula (I) in which R is hydrogen or methyl, R1 is a linear or branched alkyl radical having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, R2 and R3 independently are hydrogen or a group of the formula —COOR?, in which R1 is hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, b) 10% to 99.
