Abstract

A method of dispersing asphalt/asphaltene comprising an admixture of polymer A and polymer B ranging from 90 to 10 weight percent A to from 10 to 90 weight percent B. Wherein polymer A is an alkyl substituted phenolformaldehyde liquid resin having a weight average molecular weight ranging from about 1000 to about 20,000 and an alkyl substituent containing from 4 to 24 carbon atoms, with alkyl substituent may be linear or branched alkyl group. Polymer B is a hydrophilic-lipophilic vinylic polymer.
