Abstract
An alkylate base oil of a biological origin having a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. from 3 mm2/s to 20 mm2/s, and characterized by having a total integral of a 13C NMR spectrum wherein 25-60% of the total integral of the 13C NMR spectrum falls within 13C NMR resonances in ranges for linear long chain alkyl groups given by: C1(13.9-14.2 ppm), C2(22.6-22.8 ppm), C3(31.9-32.05 ppm), C4(29.35-29.45 ppm), and C5+(29.6-29.8 ppm).

An alkylate base oil of a biological origin having a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. from 3 mm2/s to 20 mm2/s, and characterized by having a total integral of a 13C NMR spectrum wherein 25-60% of the total integral of the 13C NMR spectrum falls within 13C NMR resonances in ranges for linear long chain alkyl groups given by:
- C1(13.9-14.2 ppm), C2(22.6-22.8 ppm), C3(31.9-32.05 ppm), C4(29.35-29.45 ppm), and C5+(29.6-29.8 ppm);
- wherein the alkylate base oil is an alkylation product of a farnesane that was made from a biologically derived feedstock.
