LUBRICANT BASE OIL WITH OPTIMIZED BRANCHING

Title:

LUBRICANT BASE OIL WITH OPTIMIZED BRANCHING

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP2012193385

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

To provide an efficient and economical method for converting waxy paraffinic feeds to high quality lubricant base oils, in particular lubricant base oils with good low temperature properties and high viscosity indexes.

The invention relates to lubricant base oils comprising paraffinic hydrocarbon components with optimized branching. The lubricant base oils comprising paraffinic hydrocarbon components with optimized branching have low amounts of branching with the branching concentrated toward the center of the lubricant base oil molecules. The invention further relates to methods for producing the lubricant base oils comprising paraffinic components with optimized branching from waxy feeds. The lubricant base oils are also useful in commercial finished lubricants.
