Abstract
Disclosed are multifunctional additives for fuel and lubricant compositions. These additives are borated hydrocarbyl vicinal diols, made by reacting the diol with a boron-containing compound such as boric acid or trialkyl borate. These are useful in formulating lubricants and liquid hydrocarbon fuels.
Claims5
The reaction product resulting from the reaction of a 1,2-hydrocarbyl vicinal diol having the formula:
- R(--OH).sub.2
- wherein R is a hydrocarbyl group containing about 10 to about 30 carbon atoms with a boron compound of the formula
- (R.sub.1 O).sub.x B(OH).sub.y
- where R.sub.1 is a C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkyl group, x is 0 to 3, and y is 0 to 3, the sum of x and y being 3.
