The present disclosure relates to poly(alpha-olefin)s and methods for making poly(alpha-olefin)s. A poly(alpha-olefin) may include about 95 wt % or greater C 10 -C 18 alpha-olefin content and have a weight average molecular weight of from about 1,000,000 g/mol to about 10,000,000 g/mol. A method for forming a poly(alpha-olefin) may include introducing one or more C 10 -C 18 alpha-olefins to a catalyst system comprising a catalyst compound and an activator. The method may include obtaining poly(alpha-olefin)s comprising about 95 wt % or greater C 10 -C 18 alpha-olefin content and having a weight average molecular weight of from about 1,000,000 g/mol to about 10,000,000 g/mol. |
