Abstract
Combination deposit and rust control additives for internal combustion engines are provided which maintain cleanliness of intake systems without contributing to combustion chamber deposits and corrosion. The additives are salts of hydrocarbyl oxyacid esters of phosphorus and of hydrocarbylpoly(oxyalkylene) aminocarbamates comprising a hydrocarbyl-terminated poly(oxyalkylene) chain of 2-5 carbon oxyalkylene units bonded through an oxycarbonyl group to a nitrogen atom of a polyamine. Lube oil and fuel compositions containing these additive salts are also provided for use in internal combustion engines.
Claims11
An additive composition effective as a minor component in a fuel composition for reducing the deposition of solids in the intake system and inhibiting the corrosion of metal surfaces of an internal combustion engine, said additive composition comprising at least one salt of an oxyacid ester of phosphorus and a hydrocarbyl poly(oxyalkylene)aminocarbamate.
An additive composition effective as a minor component in a fuel or lubricating oil composition for reducing the deposition of solids and inhibiting corrosion in the intake system and crankcase of an internal combustion engine, said additive composition comprising at least one salt of the formula ##STR9## wherein:
- (1) said R groups are the same or different hydrocarbyl groups having a carbon atom content in the range from 1 to 30 selected from the group consisting of phenyl, mono-, di- and trialkylphenyl, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkenyl, and combinations thereof;
- (2) A is an alkylene group having a carbon atom content in the range of from 2 to 5 and x is an integer sufficient to provide said cation in unprotonated form with a molecular weight in the range of from about 500 to 10,000;
- (3) L is monovalent and selected from the group consisting of radicals of the formula ##STR10## wherein J is an alkylene group having a carbon atom content in the range 2 to 6 and y is an integer in the range 1 to 11, and ##STR11## wherein n is an integer in the range 2 to 6;
- (4) R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are the same or different groups having a carbon atom content in the range 0 to 16 selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and hydrocarbyl groups selected from the group consisting of acyl, alkoxy, ketoalkyl, hydroxyalkyl and cyanoalkyl groups;
- and
- (5) a is an integer in the range 1 to 3.
A fuel or lubricating oil additive concentrate composition for use as a corrosion and solids inhibitor, said additive concentrate composition comprising an inert stable oleophilic solvent and from 10 to 80 percent by weight of at least one salt of an oxyacid ester of phosphorus and a hydrocarbyl poly(oxyalkylene)aminocarbamate.
