Polybutenes

Polybutenes are clear liquid oligomers typically used as plasticizers, carriers and lubricants which are sold in many different grades (liquid and solid) determined by viscosity which is related to molecular weight. This reflects the variation on molecular weights which range from 250 to around 3M g/mol.

Polybutylene is composed of long-chain hydrocarbon formed by polymerization of isobutene, and is extremely stable under normal conditions. It is transparent non-noxious high-consistency semi-solid polymer free of impurities.

The product is highly compatible with: resins, asphalts, waxes, gums, oils, fats. The products are widely used as: plasticizer, thickener, waterproofing, tackifier. Polybutenes is compatible with most non-polar substances.
