Abstract
An additive, adapted to improve the viscosity index of a mineral or synthetic lubricating oil, is prepared from polymeric material of very high viscosity boiling above 175.degree.C, and obtained through polymerization of normal alpha-olefines having the general formula R--CH = CH.sub.2, wherein R is an alkyl radical containing from 2 to 16 carbon atoms, in the presence of a TiCl.sub.4 /polyiminoalane catalyst, in a substantially inert atmosphere which may contain hydrogen up to a manometer pressure of 1 kg/cm.sup.2, by distilling said polymeric material so that the fraction boiling at a temperature below 350.degree.C at atmospheric pressure is removed therefrom, and catalytically hydrogenating the balance thereof to produce the desired end product.
