Method using a dry fluidised bed for producing thin, absorbent surface structures

Compositions and methods are disclosed for reducing combustion chamber deposits (CCD) and/or intake valve deposits (IVD) in spark ignition internal combustion engines. A succinic acid derivative (SAD) of this invention or a mixture with at least one additional component of this invention is added to a liquid hydrocarbon or liquid hydrocarbon-oxygenate gasoline each in an amount of about 0.0005&#x2013;0.5 wt % of the gasoline. Preferably the gasoline is unleaded. The preferred additional components include polyethers (PE), polyolefin butyrolactam derivatives (BLD), butyrolactam alkoxylates (BLA), tridecanol alkoxylate derivatives (TAD) and polyisobutylene amine (PIBA).

Gasoline additives for reducing the amount of internal combustion engine intake valve deposits and combustion chamber deposits

Compositions and methods are disclosed for reducing combustion chamber deposits (CCD) and/or intake valve deposits (IVD) in spark ignition internal combustion engines. A butyrolactam alkoxylate (BLA) and/or a butyrolactam derivative (BLD) of this invention or a mixture with at least one additional compound of this invention is added to a liquid hydrocarbon or liquid hydrocarbon-oxygenate gasoline each in an amount of about 0.0005-0.5 wt % of the gasoline. Preferably the gasoline is unleaded. The preferred additional components include polyethers (PE) and polyisobutylene amine (PIBA).

The invention relates to a method for producing thixotropic agents containing 0.1&#x2013;30 wt.-% of at least one ethylene terpolymer wax, 5&#x2013;7 wt.-% of at least one solvent, which is incompatible with the ethylene terpolymer wax, 5&#x2013;85 wt.-% of of at least one solvent which is compatible with the ethylene terpolymer wax and with one or more of the first-named solvents.

Thixotropic agents comprising ethylene terpolymer waxes

Zwitterionic polyetherpolyamines and process for their production

A zwitterionic polyamine comprising a linear or branched hydrophobic polyamine backbone having 2 to 10 tertiary amino nitrogen atoms and a spacer between two tertiary nitrogen atoms wherein the spacer is, for example selected from C -C -alkylene, C -C -cyloalkylene, wherein in formula (IV) R&boxH;C - to C -alkyl or C -C -aralkyl and n&equals;3 to 6, at least one tertiary amine end group of the polyamine backbone contains two groups having formula (V) or (VI), wherein A means an ethylene oxide unit, a propylene oxide unit, a unit of butylene oxides and a tetrahydrofuran unit, n is a number of from 1 to 50, X is an anionic group such as &mdash;SO M, with the proviso that in formula (VI) one X may also be hydrogen and M is hydrogen, alkai metal or ammonium, or contains one group of formula (V) or (VI) and one group selected from radicals consisting of formula (VII), C - to C -alkyl and C -C -aralkyl the meaning of A and n is the same as in formula (V) or (VI), said zwitterionic polyetherpolyamine having a molecular weight up to 9000 and optionally containing up to 100% of the nitrogen atoms quaternize, and a process for the production of zwitterionic polyamines by alkoxylating said polyamines, introducing anionic groups into the alkoxylated polyamines and optionally quaternizing them before or after the introduction of anionic groups. The zwitterionic polyamines are used in detergents.

Zwitterionic polyamines and process for their production

The present invention relates to acylated polymeric polyamines, to processes for their preparation, to their use, and to aqueous compositions which comprise these polyamines.

Acylated polymeric polyamines
