Patent ID: 8921291

Claim:
A process comprising contacting: (a) an activated bridged racemic metallocene compound of Formula 1: wherein M is selected from Zr, Hf, Ti; each X is independently selected from the group consisting of halide and hydrogen, branched or unbranched C 1 to C 20 hydrocarbyls, L 1 and L 2 are independently selected from cyclopentadienyl, indenyl, tetrahydroindenyl, and their alkyl substituted analogs, and A is selected from R 1 R 2 Si, R 1 R 2 C, (R 1 R 2 C) 2 , (R 1 R 2 Si) 2 ; wherein R 1 and R 2 are independently selected from hydrogen, branched or unbranched C 1 to C 20 hydrocarbyl radicals, phenyl, and substituted phenyl; (b) a non-coordinating anion activator; (c) a co-activator; and (d) a monomer feed comprising at least two different linear alpha-olefin monomers selected from C 4 to C 24 linear alpha-olefins having an average carbon number of from 5 to less than 12 and under conditions suitable to produce an isotactic polyalpha-olefin comprising the at least two different linear alpha-olefin monomers, with the proviso that any one of ethylene and propylene, if present in the at least two different linear alpha-olefin monomers, is present in the amount of less than 5 wt % individually or combined based on the total weight of alpha-olefin monomers; wherein the isotactic polyalpha-olefin has: (1) a randomness factor between 0.7 and 1.4 as determined by mass spectrometry; (2) a molecular weight distribution Mw/Mn of 1 to 4 as measured by GPC using polystyrene as a calibration standard; (3) a pour point less than 0° C. as measured by ASTM D 97; (4) a kinematic viscosity KV at 100° C. of 3 to 1000 cSt as measured by ASTM D 445; and (5) a VI from 100 to 300 as determined according to ASTM D2270-93 (1998).
