Abstract: A polyester is useful as a high viscosity base fluid. A method for its preparation involves epoxidizing an alpha-olefin, reacting the alpha-epoxide or diol with a saturated linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, and isolating the polyester. Lubricant compositions can contain such polyesters and the compositions are useful as automatic transmission fluids, manual transmission fluids, continuously variable transmission fluids, gear oil formulations, industrial gear oil formulations, axle fluid formulations, dual clutch transmission fluids, dedicated hybrid transmission fluids, or as hydraulic oils.

Abstract: A polyester is useful as a high viscosity base fluid. A method for its preparation involves isomerizing an alpha-olefin, epoxidizing an internal olefin, reacting an internal epoxide, and isolating the polyester. Lubricant compositions can contain such polyesters and the compositions are useful as automatic transmission fluids, manual transmission fluids, continuously variable transmission fluids, gear oil formulations, industrial gear oil formulations, axle fluid formulations, dual clutch transmission fluids, dedicated hybrid transmission fluids, or as hydraulic oils.
