TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - Preferred Components: The high molecular weight polyetheramine is of formula R'(OCH2CHR1)xA'.R'=6-30C alkyl or 6-30C alkyl-substituted phenyl group;R1=ethyl;x=5-50;A'=-OCH2CH2CH2NH2 or -NR2R3;R2 and R3=H, hydrocarbyl, or -(R4NR5)yR6;R4=2-10C alkylene;R5 and R6=H or hydrocarbyl group;y=1-7. EXAMPLE - A composition comprising (wt.%): alkylene amide friction modifier derived from oleic acid (FM-1, 30); and an alkyl amine alkyl phenol where the alkyl group attached to the phenol was derived from 1000 number average molecular weight polyisobutylene and the alkyl amine group attached to the phenol was derived from a dialkylamine where the compound had a single hydrogen-accepting group separated by at least 4 bonds from a single hydrogen-donating group (COMPAT-2) (70), was prepared. The composition was tested for drop out of the friction modifier. The result showed that after 1 week also, the composition was in solid form.
