PROCESS TO PRODUCE POLYALPHAOLEFINS

摘要

Liquid poly-alpha-olefins are obtained by a) contacting in a reaction zone, alpha- olefin monomers with a non-coordinating anion activator, a single bridged meso-metallocene transition metal compound, and a co-activator, and ethylene is not present at more than 30 volume % of the monomers entering the reaction zone, and the alpha-olefm monomers in the feed components are present in at least 20 wt % or more based upon the weight of the meso- metallocene, non-coordinating anion activator, co-activator, monomers, and solvent or diluent, and where no more than 5% monomer is converted from olefin to alkane. The liquid polyalphaolefin product has a pour point of less than 25°C, a KV1oo of 2 to 6000 cSt, 20 weight percent dimer or less and a viscosity index of 60 or more.
