  • Process for oligomerizing olefins to prepare synthetic lubricant base stocks having improved properties
    Patent number: 5146023
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for preparing synthetic lubricant base stocks having improved properties. Synthetic lubricant base stocks may be prepared in good yield by oligomerizing linear olefins using certain acidic calcium montmorillonite clay catalysts. When a mixture of alpha and internal-olefins having up to 50 wt. % internal-olefin is used, and the oligomers prepared therefrom are hydrogenated, a synthetic lubricant base stock having a higher viscosity index and a lower pour point is prepared.
    Type: Grant

  • Process for co-oligomerizing propylene and alpha-olefins to prepare synthetic lubricant base stocks having improved properties
    Patent number: 5105037
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for preparing synthetic lubricant base stocks having improved properties. Synthetic lubricant base stocks may be prepared in good yield by oligomerizing linear olefins using certain acidic calcium montmorillonite clay catalysts. When a mixture of propylene and long-chain alpha-olefin is used, in which up to about 20 wt. % of the mixture comprises propylene, and the co-oligomers prepared therefrom are hydrogenated, a synthetic lubricant base stock having a lower pour point and a higher viscosity index is prepared.
