LOW-VISCOSITY LUBRICATING POLYOLEFINS

摘要

The invention relates to a low-viscosity oil comprising more than 50 wt % of 9-methyl-11-octyl-heneicosane as well as a lubricating composition comprising said base oil and optionally another base oil or an additive. Said oil according to the invention has a kinematic viscosity at 100°C, measured according to standard ASTM D445, ranging from 3 to 4 mm2/s-1. The invention also relates to such a low-viscosity oil prepared according to a specific method using a metallocene catalyst as well as the use of said oil as a high-performance lubricant for lubrication in the fields of engines, gears, brakes, hydraulic fluids, coolants and greases.
