Abstract
Abstract A synthetic oil useful as an insulating fluid in electrical apparatus is prepared by reacting an aromatic compound with the oligomers of four to 12 carbon alpha-olefins containing predominantly at least about 30 carbon atoms up to about 60 carbon atoms. A synthetic insulating oil for electrical power transformers is prepared by reacting benzene in a 1:1 molar ratio with a tetramerpentamer mixture obtained by the oligomerization of 1-decene.

144 words
A high fire point synthetic hydrocarbon suitable for use in oil filled electrical apparatus, said synthetic hydrocarbon consisting essentially of the monoalkylate or dialkylate reaction product or a mixture thereof of a preformed oligomer fraction consisting essentially of at least 30 and up to about 60 carbon atoms per molecule or a mixture thereof and prepared solely from a normal alpha-olefin selected from 1-butene, 1-hexene, 1-octene, 1-decene and 1-dodecene and mixtures thereof with an aromatic composition selected from aromatic hydrocarbons having from six to eight carbon atoms, chlorobenzene, bromobenzene, diphenyl, diphenyl ether, naphthalene and mixtures thereof and characterized by a maximum 98.9° C. (210° F.) viscosity of about 20 cs., a viscosity index of at least about 110, a maximum pour point of about -25° F. (-31.7° C.), a fire point of at least about 300° C. (572° F.) and a negative gassing tendency.
