RUBBER
Classification
Butyl rubber is an isobutylene-isoprene copolymer that can be chlorinated or brominated (between 1% and 2%) to obtain the chlorobutyl (CIIR) and bromobutyl (BIIR) versions.
Polymer Type
These polymers have good mechanical properties up to usage temperatures of 120°C, but their most important characteristic is their extremely high impermeability to air and gases.
Application
In addition to their widespread use in tires and inner tubes (resistance to air pressure loss), these elastomers are also widely used in the field of membranes.
