Just published a comprehensive technology review on the manufacturing process that transforms linear alpha olefins into polyalphaolefins - the backbone of today's high-performance synthetic lubricants.

Key highlights from the review:
✅ Complete process breakdown: from feedstock purification to hydrofinishing
✅ Catalyst systems comparison: BF₃ vs metallocene technologies
✅ Technology landscape: major players including Neste, CPChem, INEOS, ExxonMobil, Sinopec, PetroChina/CNPC, plus emerging technologies.
✅ Industrial considerations: economics, safety, and environmental aspects

1-Decene based polyalphaolefins (PAOs) are synthetic hydrocarbon lubricant base oils produced through the oligomerization of 1-decene (C₁₀H₂₀) followed by hydrogenation. These PAOs represent the most commercially significant and widely used synthetic base oil category, forming the backbone of the global PAO market due to their optimal balance of performance properties.

Polyalphaolefins (PAOs) are synthetic hydrocarbons produced through the oligomerization of linear alpha-olefins, primarily 1-decene, followed by hydrogenation to create fully saturated molecules with the molecular formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₂. PAOs are classified as API Group IV base oils, representing the most common synthetic base oil used in industrial and automotive lubricants.
