What is the difference between bromobutyl rubber and chlorobutyl rubber?
Butyl rubber is synthesized from petrochemicals and is a copolymer of isobutylene and a small amount of isoprene. Subsequent halogenation produces halogenated butyl rubber—usually bromobutyl or chlorobutyl. What is bromobutyl rubber? Bromobutyl rubber: is a terpolymer of isobutylene, isoprene, and brominated isoprene. Bromobutyl rubber (BIIR) is an isobutylene-isoprene copolymer elastomer containing reactive bromine. Because bromobutyl rubber has a substantially saturated backbone of butyl rubber, it has many performance characteristics of butyl polymers, such as higher physical strength, better vibration damping properties, low permeability, aging resistance and Weather-resistant. The invention and use of the halobutyl rubber innerliner has in many ways enabled the modern radial tire. The use of these polymers in tire innerliner compounds can improve pressure holding properties, improve the adhesion between the innerliner and the carcass, and improve tire durability. Advantage: It
