Butyl polymers' unique combination of barrier properties, resistance to ozone,
heat and chemical resistance as well as flex and tear and abrasion resistance,
make them ideal for use in many industrial applications.
Halobutyl polymers as well as Exxpro specialty elastomers are being used in
conveyor belts requiring heat and chemical resistance. These compounds are
particularly well suited for belts conveying hot material or those that pass
through ovens or other high temperature zones.
Halobutyl polymers are also used in tank linings. The inherent resistance of
halobutyl polymers toward contact with water and normal concentrations of
acids and bases is reinforced with the cure versatility of bromobutyl. The low
unsaturation, low permeability and low polarity of Butyl polymers also impart
very good resistance to a wide variety of chemicals.
Condenser packing for electrical appliances is an excellent application
utilizing the unique characteristics of low permeability (sealability of
electrolyte of chemical condenser) and chemical inertness (no affect to and
from electrolyte) associated with Butyl polymer. The polyisobutylene backbone
of this elastomer imparts superior barrier properties, minimizing the
transmission of air and water vapor, and makes this polymer more resistance to
heat and mechanical work compared to most rubbers. Butyl has very good
dielectric properties and is an excellent electrical insulator. It can be
compounded for both conventional and heat resistant applications.
