WHAT DOES BUTYL RUBBER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

butyl rubber

Butyl rubber

Butyl rubber is a synthetic rubber, a copolymer of isobutylene with isoprene. The abbreviation IIR stands for Isobutylene Isoprene Rubber. Polyisobutylene, also known as "PIB" or polyisobutene, (C4H8)n, is the homopolymer of isobutylene, or 2-methyl-1-propene, on which butyl rubber is based. Butyl rubber is produced by polymerization of about 98% of isobutylene with about 2% of isoprene. Structurally, polyisobutylene resembles polypropylene, having two methyl groups substituted on every other carbon atom. Polyisobutylene is a colorless to light yellow viscoelastic material. It is generally odorless and tasteless, though it may exhibit a slight characteristic odor. Butyl rubber has excellent impermeability, and the long polyisobutylene segments of its polymer chains give it good flex properties. The formula for PIB is: –(–CH2–C(CH3)2–)n– The formula for IIR is: It can be made from the monomer isobutylene or CH2=C(CH3)2 only via cationic addition polymerization. A synthetic rubber, or elastomer, butyl rubber is impermeable to air and used in many applications requiring an airtight rubber.
