Butyl rubber is a copolymer or isobutylene and
small percentage of isoprene and has a very low permeability to air
and other gases. It has excellent resistance to ozone, oxidation and
sunlight, with an excellent temperature range of -45°C
to +130°C. Butyl has a very low resilience which makes it ideal for
vibration damping and shock absorption application but offer a
moderate resistance to abrasion and compression set. With careful
compounding, Butyl compound can be made to acquire really good tensile
strength. It is resistant to most inorganic products and highly
resistant to mineral acids, alkalines and aqueous acids. We do not
recommend its use in application where resistance to oils and
Hydrocarbons is required |
