In this work, we have studied the quantitative composition of seven lube oils obtained from different refineries by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and Gas Chromatography (GC) methods. A trend of low temperature flow behavior of these lube oils has been correlated with the composition, i.e. n-alkane, iso-alkanes and aromatics. The pour point of these lube oils does not depend only on distribution of n-alkanes, rather with quantity and types of other molecules like iso-alkanes and aromatics. Two alkylacrylate co-polymers with different mole fractions of co-monomers synthesized by free radical mechanism are used as pour point depressant (PPD) additives. Effectiveness of additive is dependent on polar aromatic type molecules along with iso-alkane type molecules in lube oil.
