  • Natural Oil Metathesis Compositions and Methods
    Publication number: 20180208873
    Abstract: A metathesized natural oil composition comprising (i) a mixture olefins and/or esters, or (ii) a metathesized natural oil, is disclosed. The metathesized natural oil composition has a number average molecular weight in the range from about 100 g/mol to about 150,000 g/mol, a weight average molecular weight in the range from about 1,000 g/mol to about 100,000 g/mol, a z-average molecular weight in the range from about 5,000 g/mol to about 1,000,000 g/mol, and a polydispersity index of about 1 to about 20. The metathesized natural oil composition is metathesized at least once.

  • NATURAL OIL METATHESIS COMPOSITIONS
    Publication number: 20150105566
    Abstract: A metathesized natural oil composition comprising a blend of (i) a high molecular weight metathesized natural oil, and (ii) at least 10% of metathesized natural oil back blended with the high molecular weight metathesized natural oil. The blend has a number average molecular weight in the range from about 300 g/mol to about 76,000 g/mol, a weight average molecular weight in the range from about 300 g/mol to about 81,000 g/mol, a z-average molecular weight in the range from about 300 g/mol to about 87,000 g/mol, and a polydispersity index of about 0.5 to about 1.5. The metathesized natural oil composition is metathesized at least once.
