Polybutene (PB)
Abbreviation: PB
Polybutene (PB) is a synthetic polymer belonging to the family of polyolefins, similar to polyethylene and polypropylene. It is produced through the polymerization of butene, a type of olefin hydrocarbon with four carbon atoms. Polybutene is a type of polyolefin that is less common compared to polyethylene and polypropylene but has its unique set of properties that make it suitable for specific applications.
Key characteristics of polybutene include:
- Viscous Liquid or Solid
- High Purity and Low Toxicity
- Excellent Impermeability
- Good Lubricity
- Electrical Insulation
