Butyl rubber is a synthetic rubber and is a copolymer of isobutylene and isoprene. Butyl rubber is produced by polymerization of about 98% isobutylene with about 2% isoprene. The long polyisobutylene segments of the polymer provide superior flexing properties to the material. It further exhibits enhanced impermeability toward air and water, and thus are used extensively as airtight rubber. In addition, butyl rubber possesses heat resistance and ageing stability, which make it more preferrable over conventional rubber.Â
The expansion of automobile industry remains the most impactful driver of the global butyl rubber market. This is attributed to the fact that the automotive industry uses butyl rubber in the production of tires and increase in interest in research into tire compounds. Moreover, owing to its superior properties such as resistance to chemicals and weather, butyl rubber is increasingly being used in other sectors such as healthcare and consumer goods.
Furthermore, increase in use of butyl rubber as a sealant material in construction and other applications has augmented the growth of the butyl rubber market. The construction industry has been open to the use of innovations in the field of insulation, which boosted the demand for butyl rubber in the construction industry.
However, the environmental impact has emerged as a key issue for the industry, as butyl rubber is produced from petrochemicals. The negative impact of air pollution caused by isobutylene production is a major cause of concern for the industry.
Presence of proteins in the natural fibers often cause allergic reactions, and thus end users in the medical and healthcare sectors are increasing the use of butyl rubber in various applications. Butyl rubber is nonallergic and does not undergo discoloration. In addition, it exhibits distinctive properties such as high resilience and enhanced elasticity, which make it suitable for use in different medical equipment.
