| 20100144572 | Lubricants having alkyl cyclohexyl 1,2-dicarboxylates - Provided is a lubricant having a first base stock of one or more alkyl cyclohexyl 1,2-dicarboxylate esters at 1 wt % to 50 wt % based on the total weight of the blend, and a second base stock at 99 wt % to 50 wt % based on the total weight of the blend, wherein the second base stock is chosen from (a) one or more C | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100160506 | Production of synthetic hydrocarbon fluids, plasticizers and synthetic lubricant base stocks from renewable feedstocks - This disclosure is directed to an integrated method for making synthetic hydrocarbon fluids, plasticizers and polar synthetic lubricant base stocks from a renewable feedstock. More particularly, the disclosure is directed to a metathesis reaction of natural oil or its derivative ester and ethylene in the presence of an effective amount of a metathesis catalyst to form linear alpha-olefins, internal olefins and reduced chain length triglycerides. The linear alpha-olefins and/or internal olefins are polymerized to produce synthetic hydrocarbon fluids in the presence of a suitable catalyst. The reduced chain length triglycerides are converted into polar synthetic lubricant base stocks or plasticizers by hydrogenation, isomerization, followed by hydrogenations, or by hydroisomerization processes. Alternatively, the reduced chain length triglycerides can also be epoxidized to form epoxidized triglyceride plasticizers, optionally followed by carbonation, to form carbonated triglyceride plasticizers. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100216678 | Lubricant compositions containing glycerol tri-esters - A lubricant composition comprising a Group I-IV or Group VI lube base stock and a glycerol tri-ester of the formula: | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100234654 | Process for making saturated hydrocarbons and the use thereof - Provided are processes for making one or more unsaturated oligomeric acids and one or more saturated hydrocarbons. In one form, a process for making one or more saturated hydrocarbons includes oligomerizing one or more unsaturated carboxylic acids having from 4 to 38 carbon atoms in the presence of a molecular sieve catalyst to form one or more unsaturated oligomeric acids including less than 90% by weight of cyclic oligomers, and hydrogenating the one or more unsaturated oligomeric acids via contact with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst to form one or more saturated hydrocarbons. The oligomerizing of unsaturated fatty acids is from renewable biological sources to form dimer acids. The one or more saturated hydrocarbons are useful as lubricant base oils. | 09-16-2010 |
