Copolymers usable as multifunctional additives for lubricants and lubricating compositions containing said copolymers

摘要

Modified copolymers usable as additives for lubricants and having antiwear and viscosity index-improving properties are prepared by the modification of ethylene-propylene copolymers or ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymers in such a was as to fix the sulphur and phosphorus. Such modified copolymers contain 0.2 to 2% phosphorus, and 0.4 to 4% sulphur and are used in a lubricating composition at a rate of 0.25 to 10%.
