Abstract
Abstract An oil soluble copolymer, useful as a pour point depressant for lubricating oils, is a C22-C40, preferably C32-C36, branched alkyl ester based polymer. These alkyl esters of copolymers are essentially free of olefinic unsaturation and have a number average molecular weight of from 1,000 to 40,000, preferably 2,000 to 15,000, optimally 2,000 to 8,000. These alkyl ester copolymers are usefully admixed with lubricants in an amount of from 0.01 to 2 wt. % based on the total weight of the admixture and are of the class consisting of a C22-C40 branched alkyl ester of a copolymer of a C2 to C20 1-olefin and maleic anhydride and di-(2-[C22 to C40] alkyl) fumarate-vinyl C1-C4 alkylate e.g. acetate copolymer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
A lubricating oil composition comprising a major proportion of a mineral lubricating oil and at least a pour point depressing amount, in the range of about 0.05 to 0.3 weight %, based on the total weight of said composition of a pour depressing copolymer having a number average molecular weight ranging from 1500 to 40,000, wherein said copolymer is a copolymer of C 14 to C 18 1-olefin and maleic anhydride esterified with 1.2 to 2.0 moles of C 32 to C 36 2-alkyl alkanol per molar proportion of maleic anhydride moiety, and wherein said alkyl portion contains 14 or 16 carbon atoms and the alkanol portion contains 18 or 20 carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
113 words
A lubricating oil composition comprising a major proportion of a mineral lubricating oil and at least a pour point depressing amount, in the range of about 0.05 to 0.3 weight %, based on the total weight of said composition of a pour depressing copolymer having a number average molecular weight ranging from 1500 to 40,000, wherein said copolymer is a copolymer of C 14 to C 18 1-olefin and maleic anhydride esterified with 1.2 to 2.0 moles of C 32 to C 36 2-alkyl alkanol per molar proportion of maleic anhydride moiety, and wherein said alkyl portion contains 14 or 16 carbon atoms and the alkanol portion contains 18 or 20 carbon atoms.
