The melt esterification of acrylic acid and higher alcohols without solvent is carried out and the effects of factors on the production efficiency of acrylic higher alcohol ester are investigated. Optimum reaction conditions are obtained at molar ratio of acrylic acid to higher alcohol 1.2:1.0 and reflux time 7 h at 110–140°C in stepwise heating. At this point the acrylic higher alcohol ester will be polymerized with maleic anhydride, phenylethylene, and vinyl acetate, and formed into four components. Copolymer shale oil pour point depressant and the polymerization condition are also studied by orthogonal method. The effect of pour point depressants is best when the monomer molar ratio is 8:1:1:1 at 80°C for 8 h for reflux and the benzoyl peroxide is added. The pour point of Fushun shale oil reduces by 9°C when only 0.5% copolymer is added.
