Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
An oil composition of lowered pour point comprising a major amount of a mineral lubricating oil or a No. 2 fuel oil and from about 0.025 (M o /84) weight percent to about 0.4 (M o /84) weight percent of a linear alpha-olefin copolymer synthesized from 1-hexene and 1-octadecene and having the formula ##STR2## wherein m is 6 or 18 with between about 60 to about 95 percent of the pendant groups resulting from 1-hexene and the remainder resulting from 1-octadecene, and the average of n is between about 50 and about 5,000; and where M 0 is the average molecular weight of the 1-hexene and 1-octadecene that is incorporated into said copolymer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
113 words
An oil composition of lowered pour point comprising a major amount of a mineral lubricating oil or a No. 2 fuel oil and from about 0.025 (M o /84) weight percent to about 0.4 (M o /84) weight percent of a linear alpha-olefin copolymer synthesized from 1-hexene and 1-octadecene and having the formula ##STR2## wherein m is 6 or 18 with between about 60 to about 95 percent of the pendant groups resulting from 1-hexene and the remainder resulting from 1-octadecene, and the average of n is between about 50 and about 5,000; and where M 0 is the average molecular weight of the 1-hexene and 1-octadecene that is incorporated into said copolymer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
An oil composition of lowered pour point in accordance with claim 1 comprising from about 0.05 (M o /84) weight percent to about 0.2 (M o /84) weight percent of said copolymer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
An oil composition of lowered pour point in accordance with claim 1 with between about 75 and about 90 percent of the pendant groups of said formula resulting from 1-hexene and the remainder resulting from 1-octadecene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
An oil composition of lowered pour point in accordance with claim 1 in which the oil is a mineral lubricating oil.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
An oil composition of lowered pour point in accordance with claim 1 in which the oil is No. 2 fuel oil.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
An oil composition of lowered pour point in accordance with claim 1 in which said linear alpha-olefin copolymer is completely soluble at -25° F.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
An oil composition of lowered pour point in accordance with claim 1 in which said linear alpha-olefin copolymer is completely soluble at -40° F.
