Key Characteristics
Low gas permeability. BIIR & CIIR offer improved cure characteristics.
Further Comments
This rubber has very high impermeability to gases and is hence used for the inner tubes and linings of pneumatic tires and in vacuum and high pressure applications. It has an unusually broad loss peak so that, despite having a glass transition temperature as low as -65°C, it displays high damping at ambient temperatures. It has good ozone, weathering, heat and chemical resistance. Not suitable for use in contact with mineral oils.
