Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0931825A2] An additive comprising a mixture of (A) 15-50 wt.% of a copolymer containing, apart from 87-92 mol.% structural units derived from ethylene, (a) 6.5-12 mol.% units derived from vinyl acetate and (b) 0.5-6 mol.% units derived from 4-methyl pentene-1, with the proviso that the sum of (a) and (b) is 8-14 mol.%, and (B) 85-50 wt.% of a further copolymer or terpolymer of ethylene and vinyl esters or acrylic acid esters. Process for improving the cold flow properties of oils containing less than 500 ppm sulfur and at least 8 wt.% n-paraffins of chain length of 18C or longer comprises adding an additive comprising a mixture of (A) 15-50 wt.% of a copolymer containing, apart from 87-92 mol.% structural units derived from ethylene, (a) 6.5-12 mol.% units derived from vinyl acetate and (b) 0.5-6 mol.% units derived from 4-methyl pentene-1, with the proviso that the sum of (a) and (b) is 8-14 mol.%, and (B) 85-50 wt.% of a further copolymer or terpolymer of ethylene and vinyl esters or acrylic acid esters.
