Abstract
Abstract EP polymer of low molecular weight containing 0.02% to 0.6% by weight vinyl norbornene or norbornadiene whereby the cold flow of the EP polymer is improved with resultant improvement in recoverability and handling without noticeable modification in molecular weight distribution or shear stability and without interfering with the use thereof as an oil additive, and without so much as to decrease oil solubility rate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
An oil soluble, substantially gel-free ethylene, C 3-16 monoolefin polymer of low molecular weight having a mole ratio of 10-95 moles of ethylene to 90-5 moles of monoolefin containing 3 to 16 carbon atoms and 0.02% to 0.6% by weight vinyl norbornene bound in the polymer which provides an amount of unsaturation that does not interfere with shear stability or oil solubility and does not cause branching that would lead to gel formation, in which the polymer is prepared by polymerization of the monomers in solvent solution in the presence of a Ziegler type catalyst.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
95 words
An oil soluble, substantially gel-free ethylene, C 3-16 monoolefin polymer of low molecular weight having a mole ratio of 10-95 moles of ethylene to 90-5 moles of monoolefin containing 3 to 16 carbon atoms and 0.02% to 0.6% by weight vinyl norbornene bound in the polymer which provides an amount of unsaturation that does not interfere with shear stability or oil solubility and does not cause branching that would lead to gel formation, in which the polymer is prepared by polymerization of the monomers in solvent solution in the presence of a Ziegler type catalyst.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
A polymer as claimed in claim 1 in which the monoolefin is propylene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A polymer as claimed in claim 1 in which the polymer contains 0.02 to 0.6 percent by weight vinyl norbornene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A polymer as claimed in claim 3 in which the percent vinyl norbornene by weight is less than 0.25 in the polymer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
52 words
A polymer as claimed in claim 2 in which the cold flow, with resultant improvement in recoverability and handling, is improved by comparison with polymers of the same composition except that the vinyl norbornene is not present, without noticeable interference with molecular weight distribution, shear stability, and without increase in gel formation.
