1. PROPERTIES OF BUTYL RUBBER
Low permeability to air, gases and moisture
Vibration damping
Low glass transition temperature
Low modulus elastomer
Low compression set
Resistance to aging and to weathering from atmospheric exposure
Wide vulcanization versatility
Fast cure rates
Processing safety: no nitrosamines or nitrosamines precursors
high extensibility
- Broad range of durometer and tensile strength properties
- Low filler content for specific gravity, cost-effective
compounding
2. USES OF BUTYL RUBBER
COMPONENT DETAILS
Tires provide excellent inflation pressure
retention for bicycle, truck, agricultural,
industrial and specialty tires
Automotive Butyl rubbers' barrier properties, high
damping, resistance to ozone and heat
aging make them ideal for automotive
vibration control, hoses and gaskets.
Industrial Use butyl rubbers to improve
formulations for conveyor belts, tank
linings and condenser packaging.
Construction Improve weatherability of asphalt,
contact cement and sealant tapes
Adhesives tailor adhesive properties in valve
cement, tapes and flooring adhesives.
Consumer products for ball bladders for sporting goods and
electrical appliance condenser packing.
