The pour point of paraffin-containing liquids is reduced by adding to the liquid an effective amount of a pour point depressant which is the reaction product of a hydrocarbyl-substituted phenol having a number average of greater than 30 carbon atoms in the hydrocarbyl-substituent, and an aldehyde of 1 to about 12 carbon atoms, or a source therefor. The pour point depressant is particularly useful for treating crude oils which have an initial pour point of 4.degree. C. or higher.

Pour point depressants and their use

A deodorized polysulfide composition, comprising a major amount of polysulfide material and a minor but effective amount of a deodorizing composition comprising an oil-soluble tertiary alkanolamine of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are independently alkyl groups of about 1 to 6 carbon atoms; and a monohydric alkyl alcohol containing up to about 12 carbon atoms is disclosed.
