Definitions

  • the present invention relates to ethylene-propene-vinyl ester terpolymers which have improved handleability and improved performance properties as refrigerants for fuel oils.
  • crude oils and middle distillates obtained by distillation of crude oils such as gas oil, diesel oil or fuel oil
  • crude oils and middle distillates obtained by distillation of crude oils contain different amounts of n-paraffins, which crystallize out as platelet-shaped crystals when the temperature is lowered and partly agglomerate with the inclusion of oil.
  • the flow properties of the oils or distillates deteriorate, which can lead to disruptions in the extraction, transport, storage and / or use of the mineral oils and mineral oil distillates.
  • the phenomenon of crystallization especially in winter, can lead to deposits on the pipe walls and in individual cases, e.g. at standstill of a pipeline, even lead to their complete blockage.
  • Another object of flow improvers is to disperse the wax crystals, i. the delay or prevention of the sedimentation of paraffin crystals and thus the formation of a paraffin-rich layer at the bottom of storage containers.
  • One known additive class widely used for improving the low temperature properties of mineral oils and middle distillates made therefrom are copolymers of ethylene and vinyl esters, especially ethylene and vinyl acetate ("EVA"). These are partially crystalline polymers whose mode of action is explained by a cocrystallization of their poly (ethylene) sequences with the precipitated on cooling from the middle distillates n-paraffins. Through this physical interaction, the shape, size and adhesion properties of the precipitated wax crystals are modified to produce many small crystals that pass through the fuel filter and can be supplied to the combustion chamber. Due to their crystallinity, these ethylene-vinyl ester copolymers must be handled and metered at elevated temperature or, alternatively, made manageable via a high dilution with solvents.

  • the examples show an EVA terpolymer with diisobutylene.
  • DD-A-161 128 discloses a process for producing a high distillate middle distillate flow improver in which ethylene polymerizes with 10-50% by weight of vinyl acetate and 0.1-10% by mole of an N-alkene of 3 to 8 carbon atoms in the presence of hydrogen as a moderator becomes.
  • the high polymerization temperature of 265 ° C shown in the examples requires a high proportion of Short chain branches with only a very low content of propene of less than 1 mol%.
  • the self-flowability of the polymers can be improved by short-chain branching as well as by longer-chain and especially branched olefinic comonomers, this is often accompanied by a loss of effectiveness, since the optimum range for the cocrystallization with paraffins range of poly (ethylene) sequence lengths is left or Even small amounts of the comonomers cause so much disruption of the polyethylene sequences that effective cocrystallization with the paraffins of the oil is no longer possible.
