Usage
1. Lubricants
PIB is widely used in lubricant for modifying / improving the viscosity of the
lubricant
2. Adhesives & Sealants
PIB addition in Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) and hot-melt adhesives (HMAs) helps to increase Bond strength. Polybutene addition attributes to modification of properties like:
. Tack, Softness, Bond strength, Cohesive strength and Water resistance of adhesives
It also helps in improving the quick stick and peel strength of elastomers. Below are some applications in adhesives & sealants
. Surgical tapes
. Industrial tapes
. Adhesives for paper laminates, labels and tapes
. Masking and friction tapes
. Butyl tapes used in automobile segment
3. Polymer modification
Polybutene is often used in polymer modification processes. Polymer modified with polyisobutylenes can have
. Higher melt flow rates
. Greater elongation and
. Improved impact strengths.
4. Rubber modification
For a wide variety of vulcanized elastomers like natural rubber, butyl rubber, polyisoprene and
SBR. Polyisobutylenes are used as extenders and plasticizers. These compounds show
. Excellent tensile strength
. Elongation
5. Construction Chemicals
Polyisobutylenes can be used to modify the binding agents in asphalts used in tunnel
construction Usage of polybutylenes gives water resistant property in water proofing membrane.
