Claims
- 1. An oil soluble dispersant additive useful in oleaginous compositions comprising a product prepared by contacting (i) a terpolymer comprising an unsaturated acidic reactant, a high molecular weight olefin, and a di-or poly-unsaturated compound, said unsaturated acidic reactant comprising at least one unsaturated C.sub.4 to C.sub.10 carboxylic acid or anhydride, or acid derivative, said high molecular weight olefin is derived from the oligomerization or polymerization of at least one C.sub.2 to C.sub.10 alpha olefin monomer, wherein at least 50% of the high molecular weight olefin has polymer chains containing terminal vinylidene unsaturation, and wherein the high molecular weight olefin has a number average molecular weight from about 300 to 6,000 with (ii) at least one nucleophilic reagent selected from the group consisting of amines, alcohols, metal reactants and mixtures thereof under conditions effective to form adducts of the nucleophilic reagent with the terpolymer.
- 2. The dispersant additive according to claim 1 wherein the nucleophilic reagent is a polyalkylene polyamine containing 3 to 6 primary amino groups per molecule.
- 3. The dispersant additive according to claim 2 wherein the unsaturated acidic reactant is maleic acid or anhydride, the high molecular weight olefin is polybutene, and the di- or poly- unsaturated compound is diallylformamide.
- 4. The dispersant additive according to claim 2 wherein the unsaturated acidic reactant is maleic acid or anhydride, the high molecular weight olefin is polybutene, and the di- or poly- unsaturated compound is 1,9-decadiene.
- 5. The dispersant additive according to claim 2 wherein the unsaturated acidic reactant is maleic acid or anhydride, the high molecular weight olefin is polybutene, and the di- or poly- unsaturated compound is divinylbenzene.
- 6. The dispersant additive according to claim 2 wherein the polyamine is tetraethylenepentamine, or a mixture of polyamines having an average composition which approximates tetraethylenepentamine.
- 7. The dispersant additive according to claim 3 wherein the polyamine is tetraethylenepentamine, or a mixture of polyamines having an average composition which approximates tetraethylenepentamine.
- 8. The dispersant additive according to claim 4 wherein the polyamine is tetraethylenepentamine, or a mixture of polyamines having an average composition which approximates tetraethylenepentamine.
- 9. The dispersant additive according to claim 5 wherein the polyamine is tetraethylenepentamine, or a mixture of polyamines having an average composition which approximates tetraethylenepentamine.
- 10. The dispersant additive according to claim 2 wherein the nucleophilic reagent is an N-substituted poly(hydroxyalkyl)amine or a mixture of a polyamine and a polyol.
- 11. The dispersant additive according to claim 10 wherein the unsaturated acidic reactant is maleic acid or anhydride, the high molecular weight olefin is polybutene, and the di- or poly- unsaturated compound is selected from diallylformamide, 1,9-decadiene or divinylbenzene.
- 12. The dispersant additive according to claim 2 wherein the nucleophilic reagent is a basic salt of aminoguanidine.
- 13. The dispersant additive according to claim 12 wherein the unsaturated acidic reactant is maleic acid or anhydride, the high molecular weight olefin is polybutene, and the di- or poly- unsaturated compound is selected from diallylformamide, 1,9-decadiene or divinylbenzene.
- 14. A method of dispersing contaminants in an oil of lubricating viscosity, said method comprising adding to said oil an additive comprising an oil soluble dispersant according to claim 1.
