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.
