Polybutene

Description

What is Polybutene?

Polybutene is a versatile, high-quality polymer that belongs to the group of viscous, non-drying liquid polymers. Depending on the grade, it ranges from moderately viscous oil to highly viscous liquid, with excellent tackiness. Owing to its superior compatibility with a wide range of organic materials, Polybutene is widely used to enhance the performance of lubricants, adhesives, sealants, coatings, and various polymer formulations.

One of its most remarkable features is its non-toxic and non-phytotoxic nature, making it safe for applications in industries such as personal care, packaging, and food-related lubricants. Chemex Chemicals is a trusted importer and supplier of Polybutene in India, delivering premium quality with strict quality checks to ensure customer satisfaction.

Key Applications of Polybutene

1. Lubricants

   • Used as a viscosity modifier and thickening agent.

   • Enhances shear stability and reduces deposit formation.

   • Suitable for food-grade lubricants where incidental contact may occur.

2. Adhesives & Sealants

   • Provides tackiness, cohesive strength, and water resistance.

   • Common in hot-melt adhesives, pressure-sensitive adhesives, tapes, and labels.

   • Improves peel strength and bonding for rubber and elastomers.

3. Stretch Films & Packaging

   • Enhances clarity, flexibility, and toughness.

   • Provides tack for cling films and improves sealing properties.

4. Fuel & Oil Additives

   • Used to improve detergency, reduce deposits, and enhance fuel efficiency.

5. Coatings & Asphalt Modification

   • Adds flexibility, UV resistance, and waterproofing to coatings.

   • Improves adhesion and weather resistance in asphalt for road construction.

6. Rubber & Polymer Modification

   • Acts as a plasticizer and extender in natural and synthetic rubbers.

   • Enhances tensile strength, elongation, and low-temperature adaptability.

   • Improves flexibility, gloss, and impact resistance in polypropylene, polystyrene, and ABS compounds.

7. Electrical Insulation

   • With its high dielectric properties, Polybutene is used in insulating oils and specialty coatings.

8. Personal Care Products

   • Safe and non-toxic; used in cosmetics such as lip gloss, roll-on deodorants, and skincare formulations.
