OLEFIN OLIGOMER SYNLUBE PROCESS

摘要

OLEFIN OLIGOMER SYNLUBE PROCESS An a-olefin oligomer suitable for use in making a medium viscosity synlube and having a tetramer/trimer ratio greater than 1.0 is made by feeding a C8-12 .alpha.-olefin to C8-12 .alpha.-olefin trimer at a controlled rate over an extended period at 15-40.degree.C in contact with BF3 and a promoter (e.g., water, alcohol).
