Results for tag: "Halo Butyl Rubber"

Halo butyl rubber, a subcategory within the broader rubber industry, refers to a form of synthetic rubber that has been chemically modified to enhance its impermeability and resistance to various chemicals, heat, and ozone. It is derived from butyl rubber through halogenation, typically with chlorine (chlorobutyl rubber) or bromine (bromobutyl rubber). The unique properties of halo butyl rubbers make them particularly suitable for applications requiring airtight and gastight seals, as well as for the inner liners of tire tubes to maintain air pressure. Furthermore, their enhanced stability and resistance characteristics render them valuable in the manufacture of pharmaceutical stoppers, seals for medical devices, and protective layers in chemical and nuclear industries. The versatility of halo butyl rubber also extends to construction, where it is used for damp-proofing and roofing materials, as well as automotive mechanical parts exposed to harsh environmental conditions. Prominent companies active in the halo butyl rubber market represent a cross-section of chemical and rubber industry giants. Some of these players include ExxonMobil, Lanxess, PJSC Nizhnekamskneftekhim, Sibur, Japan Butyl Company, and Reliance Industries Limited. These companies are involved in the production, distribution, and technological development of halo butyl rubber, catering to the diverse needs of industries dependent on high-performance rubber materials.
