Abstract
Abstract A new class of compounds having rust inhibiting and/or corrosion protecting properties is disclosed and claimed. The compounds (or mixtures thereof) are especially useful as rust inhibitors and for corrosion protection in hydrocarbon fuel or oil compositions, such as in gasoline, diesel and home heating fuels, industrial oils and lubricating oils, and such fuel and oil compositions incorporating the novel compounds are also disclosed and claimed. In a preferred embodiment the compounds are alkyl ammonium carboxylate salt-ethoxylated alkyl phenol esters of a trimer or dimer acid (or mixture thereof).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
217 words
A composition consisting essentially of a hydrocarbon fuel or oil containing a rust inhibiting amount of a surface active alkyl ammonium carboxylate salt-ethoxylated alkyl phenol ester of a polycarboxylic acid, said acid being the polycarboxylic polymerization product of an unsaturated or hydroxy substituted aliphatic C 16 to C 18 monocarboxylic acid and said polymerization product having an average number of carboxylic acid groups of about 1.9 to about 3.5, said ester having the formula: ##STR7## wherein n is an average number from about 1 to 12.5, x and y each have values such that the ratio of x to y is in the range of about 1:4 to about 4:1, and wherein: R 4 is an alkyl group containing 4 to 12 carbon atoms; R 5 is H or an alkyl group containing 4 to 12 carbon atoms; R 6 is an alkyl group containing 1 to 24 carbon atoms which may be straight or branched chain or an amine substituted alkyl group of 2 of 24 carbon atoms; R 7 is H or is the same as R 6 ; R 8 is H or is the same as R 6 ; Z is a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon residue of the acid, said residue having an average of about 34 to about 51 carbon atoms.
