Polyisobutylene 1300 (PIB 1300)

Description

What is Polyisobutylene 1300 (PIB 1300)?

Polyisobutylene 1300 (PIB 1300) is a medium molecular weight, viscous, non-drying liquid polymer that belongs to the polyisobutylene family. Known for its excellent tackiness, flexibility, and compatibility with a wide range of organic materials, PIB 1300 is widely used across multiple industries. Its unique properties make it an ideal choice for adhesives, sealants, lubricants, coatings, and polymer modification. Moreover, it is virtually non-toxic and non-phytotoxic, adding further value to its industrial applications.
