A compound having the following formula (I):

• wherein R1 and R2 are independently selected from each other from saturated or unsaturated with up to three —C═C— bonds, branched or straight-chain C3-C20 hydrocarbon groups, or —H, with the proviso that at least one of R1 and R2 is not —H;
• wherein R3 is bound to a carbon atom of a polyoxyalkylene group A and the polyoxyalkylene group A is bound via an oxygen atom to the remainder of the molecule opposite R3;
• A is a polyoxyalkylene group comprising at least one unit
