Chlorobutyl

Chlorobutyl rubber is a type of synthetic rubber that is derived from butyl rubber through the process of chlorination. In chlorobutyl rubber, some of the hydrogen atoms in the butyl rubber molecule are replaced with chlorine atoms.

This chlorination process alters the properties of the rubber, resulting in improved adhesion, better resistance to heat, and enhanced chemical resistance compared to regular butyl rubber.

Applications

• Tire inner liners

• Pharmaceutical stoppers

• Seals

• Gaskets

• Hoses

Chlorobutyl rubber is commonly used in a variety of applications where these properties are beneficial. Its increased compatibility with various materials and improved resistance to environmental factors make it a versatile material in industries ranging from automotive to pharmaceuticals.
