An additive suitable for adding to a fuel oil, e.g. a distillate fuel oil containing between 5 and 10 wt% wax at 10°C below cloud point, comprises a fused mixture of (A) a paraffin wax containing 20 to 45 carbon atoms per molecule and (B) a flow improver, for example (1) a copolymer of ethylene and a vinyl ester, e.g. ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer, (2) a copolymer of an ester of fumaric acid and a vinyl ester, e.g. alkyl fumarate/vinyl acetate copolymer or (3) an amine salt of, an amide of or a half amine salt, half amide of a dicarboxylic acid or anhydride, e.g. half amine salt/half amide of phthalic acid and dihydrogenated tallow amine.
By the use of the additive of this invention which can be in the form of relatively small slabs, blocks etc, distribution problems are considerably reduced compared with previously used additives which are invariably solutions of additives in solvents, requiring the transport of drums of liquid.
(2) 富马酸酯与乙烯基酯的共聚物,如富马酸烷基酯/乙酸乙烯酯共聚物,或 (3) 二羧酸或酸酐的胺盐、酰胺或半胺盐、半酰胺,如邻苯二甲酸的半胺盐/半酰胺和二氢化牛脂胺。
与以前使用的添加剂相比,本发明的添加剂可以是相对较小的片状、块状等形式,大大减少了分配问题,因为以前使用的添加剂都是添加剂在溶剂中的溶液,需要运输一桶桶的液体。
