ALKYLATED NAPHTHALENES AS SYNTHETIC LUBRICANT BASE STOCKS AND THEIR USE TO IMPROVE THE ANTIOXIDATION PERFORMANCE OF OTHER LUBRICANT BASE OILS

摘要

This invention relates to aklylated methylnaphthalenes and their utility in lubricant base stocks. In particular, the alkylated methylnaphthalenes of the present invention have unexpectedly superior thermal and oxidative properties and may be used to improve the performance characteristics of other lubricant base oils.
