Butyl rubber is easily processed with a high performance in sealing, low wear resistance, good bending properties, and good ozone resistance. It is used in rubber sides and inner tubes, in roof products, as fuel and lubricant additive.
Butyl Rubber Properties
Nowadays, natural rubber and synthetic rubber are used in quite a lot of fields with different products Butyl rubber , identified as Brominated X-Butyl provides faster and better adhesion of the brominated butyl rubber
- Sealing properties against gases are high as well as its resistance to air and ozone.
- The butyl rubber br, which is resistant to chemicals and high temperature, has good booling properties.
- It also gives good booling results with unsaturated rubber varieties.
- Permeability, vibration resistance, and wear resistance are high.
Uses of Butyl Rubber
- On tire linings and side walls
- In hoses
- In tire cooking and bladders
- In anti-vibration and damping components
- In undercoat and lining
- In shoe and ball bladders
- Used in the pharmaceutical industry.
- It is classified into three groups: X_Butyl TM BB 2030, X_Butyl TM BB 2040 and X_Butyl TM BB X2.
- It is caused by the reaction of the butyl rubber with the bromine.
- It mainly consists of saturated polyisobutylene.
- It has a perfect aging balance.
- Rubber tubes are ideal for gas and liquid permeability in tubes, hoses, seals, and membranes.
- It is widely used in tank linings, conveyor belts, and protective clothing and in drug locks.
- It has a high resistance against the heat.
