A dielectrically-enhanced polyethylene formulation made from (A) a polyethylene-nucleation agent, a dielectrically-enhanced (B) a multimodal ultra-high density polyethylene (multimodal uHDPE) composition, and, optionally, (C) a low density polyethylene (LDPE) polymer. A method of making same, an insulated electrical device comprising same, and a method of using same.

Polyolefin blend with unique microphase structure

The method of manufacturing a natural ester, oil-based electrical insulation fluid by contacting refined, bleached, optionally winterized, and deodorized natural ester oil, e.g., soy oil, with an absorbent is improved by using as the absorbent a synthetic silicate absorbent comprising an alkali and/or alkaline earth metal, e.g., magnesium.

Method of removing impurities from natural ester, oil-based dielectric fluids

Processes to prepare branched polyolefins for lubricant applications comprise combining at least one olefin and a coordination-insertion catalyst under conditions such that at least one oligomer product is formed. Low molecular weight by-products are fractionated out and the oligomer product is converted to a saturated hydrocarbon via hydrogenation.

Process for the preparation of branched polyolefins for lubricant applications

A dielectric fluid composition for electrical apparatus comprises a functionalized 12-hydroxy stearic acid having desirable properties including a pour point less than &#x2212;30&#xb0; C. and a fire point greater than 250&#xb0; C. It may be prepared by a process wherein 12-hydroxy methyl stearate is transesterified by reaction with a C3-C20 alcohol to form an alkyl-12-hydroxy stearate, followed by esterification thereof with a linear or branched C4-C20 carboxylic acid. This acid may be a free acid chloride, a fatty acid, a carboxylic acid anhydride, or combination thereof. The resulting functionalized 12-hydroxy stearic acid exhibits improved thermoxidative capability, low temperature flowability, and increased fire point.

Dielectric fluid compositions for enhanced thermal management

Disclosed is an effective thermal grease comprising a hyperbranched olefinic fluid and a thermally conductive filler. Property-modifying additives and fillers may also be included. The hyperbranched olefinic fluid is selected to have an average of at least 1.5 methine carbons per oligomer molecule and at least 40 methine carbons per one thousand total carbons. The thermal grease exhibits a flash point of 180&#xb0; C. or higher, a pour point of 0&#xb0; C. or lower, and a kinematic viscosity at 40&#xb0; C. of no more than 200 cSt (0.0002 m 2/s). The composition may offer improved thermal conductivity, reduced tendency to migrate, and lower cost when compared with many other thermal greases, including silicone-based thermal greases.

Coated conductors including a conductive core at least partially surrounded by a polymeric coating. The polymeric coating has an &#x3b1;-olefin based polymer and an &#x3b1;-olefin based block composite. The &#x3b1;-olefin block composite has block copolymers having hard segments and soft segments.

The present invention generally relates to a dielectric composition which is a poly-&#x3b1;-olefin or poly(co-ethylene-&#x3b1;-olefin) having a backbone weight average molecular weight less than 10,000 daltons. The dielectric composition uses a metal-ligand complex as a precatalyst and exhibits a hyperbranched structure that enables low viscosity, and therefore good flow characteristics, combined with high fire point due to ability to increase molecular weight via branching rather than backbone growth. Other desirable properties include lowered pour point due to crystallization disruption, and desirable thermal oxidative stability.

The present disclosure is directed to a dielectric fluid comprising a farnesene-based oligomer and an antioxidant and devices containing the dielectric fluid.

The present disclosure provides a dielectric fluid composed of a genetically engineered microbial oil (GEMO) and an antioxidant. The GEMO includes a triglyceride and an amount of small glyceride. The amount of small glyceride is within a range from 0.1 wt % to 30 wt %, based upon the GEMO weight.

Genetically-engineered microbial oil dielectric fluid

A dielectric fluid composition for electrical apparatus comprises a functionalized methyl-12-carboxy methyl stearate having desirable properties including a pour point less than &#x2212;30&#xb0; C. and a fire point greater than 250&#xb0; C. It may be prepared by a process wherein methyl-12-hydroxy methyl stearate is transesterified by reaction with a C3-C20 alcohol to form the hydroxy methyl ester, followed by reaction with a linear or branched C4-C20 carboxylic acid selected from free acid chlorides, fatty acids, carboxylic acid anhydrides, and combinations thereof. The second step serves to end-cap the hydroxyl groups, thereby producing the functionalized methyl-12-carboxy methyl stearate compound that exhibits improved thermoxidative stability and low temperature flowability, as well as increased fire point.

Synthetic ester-based dielectric fluid compositions for enhanced thermal management

Plasticizers are made from oil with a narrowed, fatty acid polydispersity and extracted from a microorganism, such as a natural or genetically modified bacterium or algae. These plasticizers can comprise either a large content of either saturated C4 and/or C6 triglycerides or unsaturated C12 or greater triglycerides that have been chemically modified by one or more of epoxidation, acylation and esterification. The plasticizers of this invention are particularly well-suited for use with polar polymeric resins such as PVC.
