Claims10
A fuel oil containing an effective pour point depressing amount of ester-containing halogpolyalkylene characterized by internal olefinic unsaturation, by being essentially free of crosslinking, by having a branch index of from about 2 to about 20 and by having a halogen content of from about 0.001 percent to less than about one percent by weight based on polyalkylene and, conversely, having an ester content of greater than about 99 percent.
A fuel oil containing from about 0.001 to about 5 percent by weight, based on said oil, of an ester-containing chlorinated linear polyethylene characterized by internal olefinic unsaturation, by being essentially free of crosslinking, by having a branch index under about 5 and by having a chlorine content of from about 0.001 to less than about one percent.
