This paper investigates the effect of viscosity modifiers on the low-temperature properties of alkylbenzene oils as well as the resistance of additives to mechanical destruction. It is shown that copolymers of ethylene and propylene as well as polyisobutylene are also effective viscosity modifiers for alkylbenzene oils, however they show inadequate resistance to mechanical degradation as compared with foreign counterparts.
