Lubricating Oil Additives Based on Polyalkylpolyamines

Abstract This work is confined to the preparation and characterization of additives. These additives are based on the reaction of polyisobutylene with different ethanolamine and then amination with tetraethylenepentamine. The molecular weights of the prepared compounds were determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The efficiency of the prepared compounds as antioxidant and detergent/dispersantadditives for lube oil was studied. It was found that the efficiency increases with increasing the molecular weight and -NH- group of the prepared compounds. Keywords: antioxidantsdetergents/dispersantslube oil additivespolyisobutylene
