Abstract:
The invention provides a process for preparing a fluid having a boiling point in the range of from 150 to 260° C. and comprising more than 80% by weight of isoparaffins and less than 50 ppm of aromatics, comprising the step of catalytically hydrogenating a feed comprising more than 85% by weight of oligomerized olefins, at a temperature from 115 to 195° C. and at a pressure from 30 to 70 bars. The invention also provides the fluid obtainable by the process of the invention and the use of said fluid.
Abstract:
An emollient composition comprising at least one hydrocarbon fluid in an amount of 50 to 100% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition is provided. The fluid can be obtained by a process of catalytically hydrogenating a feed comprising more than 85% by weight of oligomerized olefins, at a temperature from 115 to 195° C. and at a pressure from 30 to 70 bars. A cosmetic, dermatological or pharmaceutical composition comprising the emollient composition and uses thereof are also provided.
Abstract:
A process for hydrogenating a low sulphur blended feed into very low sulphur and very low aromatic hydrocarbon fluids having a boiling point in the range of from 100 to 400° C. and a boiling range of not more than 80° C., the low-sulphur blended feed including a mixture of: i) a hydrocarbon cut originating from a gas-to-liquid process with ii) at least one selected from the group consisting of a hydrodeoxygenated hydrocarbon cut obtained from biomass, a gas condensate, a hydrocarbon cut of fossil origin and mixtures thereof; the process including the step of catalytically hydrogenating the feed at a temperature from 80 to 180° C. and at a pressure from 50 to 160 bars.
