Key Applications of Polybutene KVIS 10
1. Lubricants & Greases
Used as a viscosity modifier and thickening agent in automotive and industrial lubricants.
Provides excellent shear stability and low deposit formation.
Ideal for specialty lubricants and food-contact-safe lubricants such as those used in aluminum can and foil production.
2. Adhesives
Essential in Hot Melt Adhesives (HMA) and Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA).
Enhances tackiness, bond strength, cohesion, and water resistance.
Commonly used in surgical tapes, packaging adhesives, labels, laminates, bookbinding, and footwear adhesives.
3. Rubber Modification
Acts as an extender and plasticizer for rubbers like butyl rubber, SBR, natural rubber, and polyisoprene.
Improves tensile strength, elongation, UV stability, and low-temperature flexibility.
Permanently enhances elastomers due to its resistance to extraction and exudation.
4. Coatings & Sealants
Used in road-marking paints, masonry paints, waterproofing coatings, and industrial sealants.
Improves adhesion, water resistance, flexibility, and plasticization.
Serves as a safer alternative to chlorinated plasticizers.
5. Polymer Modification
Improves melt flow, impact resistance, tear strength, and gloss in polymers like polypropylene, polystyrene, ABS, and EPDM.
Enhances environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR) in plastics used in packaging and films.
6. Asphalt Modification
Used to modify asphalt in road construction for better weather resistance, adhesion, and low-temperature flexibility.
7. Personal Care Products
High-purity grade used in lip gloss, roll-on deodorants, and other cosmetics.
Serves as a substitute for costly oils and esters.
Adds shine, smoothness, and long-lasting performance to formulations.
