Behenyl alcohol, also known as behenyl alcohol, is a long-carbon Chain saturated fatty alcohol, white solid crystal, granular or wax block, insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether, chloroform and mineral oil.
Behenyl alcohol can be synthesized into acrylic esters, which can be used in crude oil, lubricating oil, heavy oil, diesel pour point depressant, etc.
At low temperatures, waxy crude oil or fuel oil tends to form a network, and after being surrounded by oil, it will still lose fluidity even at high temperatures. . Oil in this state is difficult to transport with an oil pump, and the dye filter of the internal combustion engine is easily clogged by the wax precipitated from the fuel oil. By forming a eutectic between the high-carbon alcohol ester groups on the branch chains of the polymer molecules and the wax precipitated during the temperature drop process, it can effectively inhibit the precipitation of wax crystals from forming a spatial network structure, thereby improving the low-temperature fluidity of crude oil.
Therefore, the esterification reaction of high-carbon alcohol with butadiene-maleic acid copolymer produces diene carboxylic acid ester, which can be used as an improver of oil fluidity. ; Behenyl alcohol reacts with methacrylic acid (or acrylic acid) to form an alkyl ester of methacrylic acid (or acrylic acid). The polymer of this product can be used as a viscosity index adjuster for lubricating oils and a pour point depressant for crude oil.
