Abstract :
Alkyl imidazolines have been reportedly used in a wide range of industrial formulations with different applications. Ethoxylated alkyl imidazolines with appropriate ethoxylation degrees can be used as antioxidants and retarders in the formation of peroxides resulting from oxidation in hydrocarbon media. In this work, ethoxylated imidazolines were shown to be more effective in hydrocarbon media in comparison with reference antioxidants. According to the experimental results, ethoxylated alkyl imidazolines (12 moles EO), as an antioxidant, were twice as efficient as zinc dialkyldithiophosphoric acid (ZDDP).
