Abstract
Fuel compositions for internal combustion engines are provided containing deposit control additives which maintain cleanliness of intake systems without contributing to combustion chamber deposits. The additives are hydrocarbylpoly(oxyalkylene)aminocarbamates comprising a hydrocarbyl-terminated poly(oxyalkylene) moiety composed of 2-5 carbon oxyalkylene units and one or more 9-30 carbon oxyalkylene groups. Certain additives also find use as dispersants in lubricating oils.
Claims5
Compounds suitable for use as deposit control additives in fuels or dispersant additives in lubricating oils are hydrocarbyl poly(oxyalkylene) aminocarbamates having a molecular weight of from about 600 to 10,000, at least one C.sub.1 -C.sub.30 hydrocarbyl-terminated poly(oxyalkylene) chain and at least one basic nitrogen atom;
- wherein said poly(oxyalkylene) chain comprises from 1 to 5 oxyalkylene units each containing from 9 to 30 carbon atoms and other oxyalkylene units selected from 2 to 5 carbon oxyalkylene units;
- and wherein the amine moiety of said aminocarbamate is a polyalkylene polyamine wherein the alkylene group contains from 2 to 6 carbon atoms and the polyamine contains from 2 to 12 amine nitrogen atoms and from 2 to 24 carbon atoms.
