DEFINITION

Hydrogenated Polydecene is a mixture of saturated, synthetic hydrocarbons in the range C₃₀H₆₂ through C₇₀H₁₄₂ made from direct oligomerization of 1-decene (C₁₀ alpha olefin). The oligomer mixture may be distilled to fractions of a suitable calculated viscosity and hydrogenated to reach saturation, or it may be hydrogenated to reach saturation and then distilled to the desired viscosity. The requirements for specific gravity, viscosity, and content of decene oligomer differ for the various types of Hydrogenated Polydecene, as set forth in the two tables below. Hydrogenated Polydecene may contain a suitable stabilizer.
