Patent ID: 8530712

Claim:
A liquid polyalphaolefin, PAO, comprising one or more C 4 to C 24 monomers, said PAO having: a) a mm triad content of at least 23%, as measured by 13 C NMR; b) a mr triad content of 25 to 60%, as measured by 13 C NMR, where the mr to mm triad ratio is at least 1.0; c) a pour point of Z ° C. or less, where Z=0.0648X-51.2, where X=kinematic viscosity at 100° C. as reported in centistokes (cSt); d) a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of 100 cSt or more; e) a ratio of mr triads to rr triads, as determined by 1 H NMR, of less than 9; f) a ratio of vinylidene to 1,2-disubstituted olefins, as determined by 1 H NMR, of less than 8; g) a viscosity index of 120 or more; and h) a Mn of 40,000 or less.
