  • Manufacture of low viscosity poly alpha-olefins
    Patent number: 8598394
    Abstract: The present invention relates to poly alpha-olefins (PAO's) which exhibit superior Noack volatility at low pour points. The poly alpha-olefin is prepared from an olefin feed comprised of a blend of octene, decene, and dodecene, the feed comprising at least 10 weight % octene and at least 30 weight % dodecene. The process includes both synthesis and distillation of the olefin and oligomerization olefin. The oligomerized olefin feed yields at least 50% low viscosity PAO having a nominal viscosity at 100° C. of about 4 cSt.

  • Method for removal of oder from poly alpha-olefins
    Publication number: 20030024856
    Abstract: This invention provides a facile method for removing odor-causing species from lubricants. In this method, such species are removed by contacting the lubricant composition with at least one zeolite. Preferred zeolites include the type 13X Molecular Sieve, i.e., Na86[(AlO2)86(SiO2)106].276 H2O.
