MIDDLE DISTILLATE COMPOSITIONS WITH IMPROVED LOW TEMPERATURE FLOW PROPERTIES

摘要

The flow properties of a distillate petroleum fuel oil whose 20% and 90% distillation points differ within the range of from 65 to 100 DEG C, and/or whose 90% to final boiling point is 10 to 20 DEG C is improved by the inclusion of a copolymer of ethylene and a vinyl ester of a carboxylic acid containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms containing 32 to 35 wt % of the vinyl ester and having a number average molecular weight of 1000 to 6000.
