Butyl Rubber Adhesive Applications

Our butyl products are used in adhesive formulations for transparent tapes hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives mastic for pipe wrap tapes as well as flooring and roofing adhesives.

Butyl rubber adhesive applications.

In addition to tremendous shock absorption butyl features exceptionally low gas and moisture permeability and outstanding resistance to heat aging. Butyl adhesives butyl tapes. Once dry it remains elastic and is water resistant. They are pelletized for easy handling and feature the performance benefits of butyl rubber the processing ease of pellets and the ability to maintain their properties with a high level of fillers and plasticizers.

Additionally these valuable properties are retained over a wide temperature range making butyl products suitable for use in all climatic extremes. Butyl products are non toxic and free from volatile organic content and so may find applications as replacement for solvent based adhesive systems. Butyl rubber isobutylene with about 2 iso prene has been functionalized through the residual double bonds via the bro mobutyl intermediate to produce a material with 2 conjugated diene see fig. Butyl is a synthetic rubber used in many applications including as an adhesive product.

A material made for shock absorption butyl rubber offers some special capabilities to make it a potential option for applications that need quality sealing lining mounting or more. Products such as butyl adhesive tape butyl rubber butyl mastic tape and or sealants and general butyl sealants are available in a range of product formulations including butyl based products comprising pumpables extrudables sealants and adhesive tape engineered to meet the applications requirements of diverse industries. Butyl rubbers are compatible with a variety of hydrocarbon based tackifiers. Butyl tapes are used in many applications.

Polyisobutylene and butyl rubber are used in the manufacture of adhesives agricultural chemicals fiber optic compounds ball bladders o rings caulks and sealants cling film electrical fluids lubricants 2. Butyl tape is used in car windshields roofing boats on pvc piping and to many other purposes. These products provide the base rubber or act as a performance additive for applications that require the properties of butyl rubber. 19 this resin shows high reactivity towards e beam or uv free radical or cationic 53 the bromo butyl intermediate has also been used to attach acrylate or photoinitiator groups to the butyl.

Ageing resistance and low permeability also makes butyl rubber ideal for a variety of adhesive and sealing applications. The advantage of using butyl rubber in an adhesive format is that it is malleable and impermeable to air and water. When used on a tape it s used to join two butting or overlapping surfaces and left to set. It is hard wearing can be applied to a wide variety of carrier surfaces and is able to be easily applied thus giving instant results.
