Abstract:
1. A hardened olefin wax composition produced from a feedstock olefin wax composition by contacting the feedstock olefin wax composition with an oxygen-containing gas at a temperature greater than a melting point of the feedstock olefin wax composition, the hardened olefin wax composition having: a needle penetration value at 25° C. at least 5 percent less than a needle penetration value at 25° C. of the feedstock olefin wax composition; a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of up to about 200% greater than the kinematic viscosity of the feedstock olefin wax composition; and a saphonification number less than 5 mg KOH/g hardened olefin wax composition.
