Butyl Rubber Adhesive Applications

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 rubber adhesive applications.

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. 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. Ageing resistance and low permeability also makes butyl rubber ideal for a variety of adhesive and sealing applications. 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.

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 products are non toxic and free from volatile organic content and so may find applications as replacement for solvent based adhesive systems. However as with the addition of hbc polymers the use of hydrogenated hydrocarbon hhc resins allows the butyl rubber adhesive to maintain its characteristic environmental performance.

The advantage of using butyl rubber in an adhesive format is that it is malleable and impermeable to air and water. Butyl rubbers are compatible with a variety of hydrocarbon based tackifiers. When used on a tape it s used to join two butting or overlapping surfaces and left to set. These products provide the base rubber or act as a performance additive for applications that require the properties of butyl rubber.

Butyl is a synthetic rubber used in many applications including as an adhesive product. Butyl adhesives butyl tapes. In addition to tremendous shock absorption butyl features exceptionally low gas and moisture permeability and outstanding resistance to heat aging. 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.

Additionally these valuable properties are retained over a wide temperature range making butyl products suitable for use in all climatic extremes. 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 based adhesives. Butyl tape is used in car windshields roofing boats on pvc piping and to many other purposes.
