Butyl rubber is essentially a polyisobutylene except for the presence of diolefin, usually isoprene, to provide the unsaturation necessary for vulcanization. Butyl rubbers have excellent resistance to oxygen, ozone, and weathering. In addition, these rubbers exhibit good electrical properties and high impermeability to gases. The high impermeability to gases results in use of butyl as an inner liner in tubeless tires. Other widespread uses are for wire and cable products, injection-molded and extruded products, hose, gaskets, and sealants, and where good damping characteristics are needed.
