PROCESSES FOR PREPARING LOW VISCOSITY LUBRICANTS

摘要

Disclosed are processes for forming an oligomer product by contacting a feedstock olefin containing trisubstituted olefins with a solid acid catalyst. The oligomer product can be formed at an oligomerization temperature in a range from -20 oC to 40 oC. Polyalphaolefins produced from the oligomer product can have reduced viscosities at low temperatures.
