Patent ID: 7473345

Claim:
A process for producing a lubricant blend comprising: a. providing a lubricant oil fraction derived from highly paraffinic wax having a viscosity of between about 2 cSt and 20 cSt at 100° C., wherein the lubricant oil fraction derived from highly paraffinic wax comprises: (i) less than 0.30 weight percent aromatics; (ii) greater than 5 weight percent molecules with cycloparaffinic functionality; and (iii) a ratio of weight percent of molecules with monocycloparaffinic functionality to weight percent of molecules with multicycloparaffinic functionality greater than 15; b. blending the lubricant oil fraction derived from highly paraffinic wax with a petroleum derived base oil selected from the group consisting of a Group II base oil, a Group III base oil, and mixtures thereof; and a pour point depressant; and c. isolating a lubricant blend having a Brookfield viscosity at −40° C. of less than 100,000 cP.
