Applicable Base Polymer Properties

Butyl rubber is an elastomeric polymer that is used in a wide variety of construction sealants. Because of its unique properties it also is used in the automotive and food processing industries among others. Butyl sealants can be applied in a number of different forms. It is used widely as a hot melt, solvent solution, preformed tape or gasket, and as a gun-dispensable sealant. Butyl rubber can be used as a primary base resin or as an additive for tack and other desired properties.

Resulting Properties

A typical butyl rubber sealant compound is shown above. This two-part general purpose sealant has sufficient resistance to cycle deformation to pass the cyclic durability test of Federal Spec. TT-S-0027E.

Butyl sealants are known for excellent adhesion to most substrates. However, they can stain adjacent surfaces and have relatively poor recovery from extension. The polymeric compositions along with the other additives will affect both the application and the ultimate performance properties of the joint.
