  • Patent number: 7863339
    Abstract: A synergistic demulsifier composition for the improvement of demulsification properties and method of making said composition is disclosed along with a lubricant composition containing same. The demulsifier composition consists of effective amounts of one or more demulsifier additives and one or more dispersants. The demulsifier additives consist of a first copolymer of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide and a second copolymer of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide. The dispersant can be an untreated polyalkene succinimide type dispersant, preferably an untreated polyisobutylene succinimide type dispersant.

  • Patent number: 6174950
    Abstract: Concentrated and low viscosity aqueous dispersions, e.g., opaque emulsions, well suited as flocculants for water treatment, comprise the water-soluble polymerizate of at least one water-soluble hydrophilic monomer A, optionally, at least one amphiphilic comonomer B and/or, also optionally, at least one hydrophobic comonomer C, in the presence of at least one polymeric dispersant incompatible therewith, for example an imidized and salified styrene/maleic anhydride copolymer or poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride).
