This article investigates the physicochemical and service characteristics of the products obtained by alkylating naphthalene with 1-decene and the possibility of further improvements in the quality of the alkylnaphthalene oils. The alkylnaphthalenes were synthesized in the presence of acidic catalysts at temperatures of 130-160/sup 0/C with a mole ratio of 1-decene to naphthalene from 1:1 to 3:1. The high-temperature properties of the groups of hydrocarbons present in the alkylnaphthalene oils are analyzed by means of thermogravimetry, dynamic thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. The feasibility and desirability of using alkylnaphthalenes as components of high-temperature lubricants is demonstrated.
