Cold flow properties are improved by adding in minor proportion by weight to a distillate fuel oil a polymer of a C₁ to C₁₇ alkyl vinyl ether. This polymer may be a homopolymer, a mixture of homopolymers, a copolymer of alkyl vinyl ethers of different alkyl chain length, a copolymer of one or more alkyl vinyl ethers with one or more copolymerisable monomers or a mixture of such copolymers. Typical copolymers are copolymers of alkyl vinyl ethers with alkyl acrylates, alkyl methacrylates, olefins, dialkyl fumarates or maleates, eg copolymers of n-butyl vinyl ether with di(n-tetradecyl) fumarate. Other polymers are copolymers of an alkyl vinyl ether with an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or anhydride, subsequently reacted with an alcohol or an amine or both, eg a copolymer of methyl vinyl ether and maleic anhydride reacted with n-tetradecanol, n-hexadecanol or a mixture of these alcohols.
在馏分燃料油中以较小的重量比例加入 C₁ 至 C₁₇ 烷基乙烯基醚聚合物,可改善冷流特性。这种聚合物可以是均聚物、均聚物的混合物、不同烷基链长的烷基乙烯基醚的共聚物、一种或多种烷基乙烯基醚与一种或多种可共聚单体的共聚物或此类共聚物的混合物。典型的共聚物是烷基乙烯基醚与烷基丙烯酸酯、烷基甲基丙烯酸酯、烯烃、富马酸二烷基酯或马来酸酯的共聚物,例如正丁基乙烯基醚与富马酸二(正十四烷基)酯的共聚物。其他聚合物是烷基乙烯基醚与乙烯基不饱和羧酸或酸酐的共聚物,然后与醇或胺或两者发生反应,例如甲基乙烯基醚和马来酸酐与正十四醇、正十六醇或这些醇的混合物发生反应的共聚物。
