Butyl rubber, is a synthetic rubber, a copolymer of isobutylene and a small percentage of isoprene. Butyl is one of the most commonly used rubber materials used in the manufacturing of a wide range of industrial rubber product. The remarkable properties like excellent impermeability/ airretention, good flex properties and chemical attack, Butyl is not recommended for use when in contact with petroleum oils and fuids.
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 applications 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, alkaline and aqueous acids.
We do not recommend its use in application where resistance to oils and Hydrocarbons is required.
