Butyl Rubber Market Report | Industry Analysis Reports up to 2025

on

29 January 2019: Global butyl rubber market is expected to rise at a higher CAGR in upcoming years. Butyl rubber is also known as Isobutylene-isoprene rubber, which is a synthetic rubber formed by copolymerizing isobutylene with less volumes of isoprene. Butyl rubber is essentially appreciated for its impassability to gases, chemical floppiness and impermeability to gases. Butyl rubber is a synthetic rubber or polymer and owns unique physical and chemical possessions. Butyl rubber is denoted as IIR in contraction which stands for isobutylene isoprene rubber. Butyl rubber is a copolymer of isobutylene with isoprene.
The industrial process of butyl rubber includes the proportion of isoprene which is very less associated to isobutylene. Butyl rubber is used in tires, sealants, and adhesives. Unique qualities of butyl rubber include high flexibility, air tight, gas impermeability, good vibration damper, biocompatibility, good weathering, heat and chemical resistance. However, fluctuating raw Material prices and availability of substitutes may confine the market growth.
Poly-isobutylene, also known as "PIB" or polyisobutene, (C4H8) n, is the homopolymerize of isobutylene, or 2-methyl-1-propene, on which butyl rubber is based. Butyl rubber is shaped by polymerization of about 98% of isobutylene with about 2% of isoprene. Mechanically, polyisobutylene resembles polypropylene, consuming two methyl groups relieved on every other carbon atom. Polyisobutylene is a colorless to light yellow viscoelastic material. It is commonly odorless and tasteless, though it may exhibit a slight characteristic odor.
Growth in demand for tires and tubes and other products in automotive industries will increase the butyl rubber market. Furthermore, upsurge in demand for materials such as sealants, medical stoppersin pharmaceutical industry is also expected to boost the butyl rubber market. Butyl rubber is expected to exhibit a significant growth over the forecast period owing to its superior properties counting exceptional confrontation to chemical, ozone and weather. However,originallyindustrialized for tire applications, butyl rubber is progressively being used in other sectors such as healthcare, consumer products and adhesives.
Key market players in the butyl rubber market include Sinopec Yunshan Beijing Petrochemical Company, Reliance Sibur Elastomer Private Ltd, Zhejiang Cenway New Synthetic Materials. Co., Ltd, Liaoning Tongyi Industrial Group, Lanzhou JinPu Petrochemical, Liaoning PanjinZhenAo Co Ltd.
