Abstract:
A process is disclosed for preparing synthetic lubricant base stocks. Synthetic lubricant base stocks may be prepared in good yield by oligomerizing long-chain olefins using certain acidic calcium montmorillonite clay catalysts. When long-chain vinylidene olefin and long-chain alpha- and/or internal-olefin are co-oligomerized, a synthetic lubricant base stock having a lower pour point is obtained.

Abstract:
A novel series of copolymers and terpolymers, usefull as base oils for synthetic lubricants, are produced by polymerization of ethylene, an alpha-olefin, and optionally a third monomer comprising an alpha-olefin of 3 to 20 carbon atoms, in the presence of a combination catalyst comprising a compound of a transition metal of Group IVb of the Periodic Table and an aluminoxane. The copolymer or terpolymer may be further processed by thermal cracking to yield novel cracked polymers, and the cracked polymers may be hydrogenated. The copolymers or terpolymers may also be hydroisomerized. All the polymers are useful as base oils for lubricating oils and consumer products.
Abstract:
The present invention includes star polymers which can be used as viscosity index improvers in oil compositions formulated for high performance engines. The star polymers have triblock copolymer arms of hydrogenated polyisoprene and polystyrene wherein the polystyrene is placed near the core of the star polymer to provide excellent low temperature performance and finishability as a polymer crumb.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for preparing synthetic lubricant base stocks. Synthetic lubricant base stocks may be prepared in good yield by oligomerizing linear olefins using certain acidic calcium montmorillonite clay catalysts. When the oligomers are hydrogenated, they provide a synthetic lubricant base stock having excellent properties.
