Abstract:
A composition comprising from about 20% to about 80% by weight of a diluent, prepared by reacting a mixture comprising(A) an esterified carboxy-containing interpolymer, said interpolymer being derived from at least two monomers, (i) one of said monomers being at least one of an aliphatic olefin containing from 2 to about 30 carbon atoms and a vinyl aromatic monomer and (ii) the other of said monomers being at least one alpha, beta-unsaturated acylating agent, and having, before esterification, M.sub.n determined by gel permeation chromatography ranging from about 8,000 to about 350,000, wherein from about 80% to about 99% of the carboxylic groups of said interpolymer are esterified, wherein from about 80 to about 100% of the ester groups contain from 8 to about 23 carbon atoms and from 0 to about 20% of the ester groups contain from 2 to 7 carbon atoms, and(B) a hydrocarbyl substituted carboxylic acid or functional derivative thereof wherein the hydrocarbyl group comprises from about 10 to about 400 carbon atoms, with(C) an amine having an average of more than 1 condensable N--H group, wherein from about 0 to about 95% of the diluent is present during the reacting and the product obtained from said reacting is further combined with additional diluent such that the total diluent comprises from about 20% to about 80% by weight of the total weight of the composition.
