Description
Base polymer primarily from isobutylene with some 1- and 2-butene.
Chemical Properties
Colorless to Almost colorless clear liquid.
Characteristics
Low odor, good heat stability, low color and broad compatibility with elastomers, plastics and tackifying resins.
Does not readily oxidize. Contains no cyclic compounds.
Preparation
Benzyl alcohol (108 mg, 1 mmol) was converted to allyl benzyl ether 11 in 96% yield in 4×5 h. IR (neat): 1630, 1090 cm–1 ; 1H NMR: d 7×34 (m, 5H), d 5×9–6×0 (m, 1H), d 5×17–5×35 (m, 2H), d 4×5 (s, 2H), d 4×04 (d, J = 1×46 Hz, 2H).
Application
Base polymer in hot melt adhesives and paper-laminating, extender and viscosity modifier in caulks and sealants and waterproofing agent in wire and cable applications.
Cosmetic additive, metal working lubricant, polymer lubricant and modifier for tire sealants.
