Understand the key role of butyl rubber in the automotive tire industry!

Among the core materials in tire manufacturing, Butyl Rubber, with its unique air tightness, heat resistance and chemical stability, has become a key raw material for the airtight layer and inner tube of tires, has greatly enhanced the quality and performance of the tires.

Butyl rubber is copolymerized from isobutylene and a small amount of isoprene. The dense methyl groups in its molecular chain effectively restrict the penetration path of gas molecules, endowing the material with an extremely low gas transmission rate.

Modern automobiles generally adopt tubeless structures, and their airtight layers rely entirely on the high airtightness of butyl rubber to maintain tire pressure. Using butyl rubber instead of natural rubber to manufacture inner tubes can bring many benefits to users in application fields such as bicycle tires, truck inner tube radial tires and some off-road tires used in harsh conditions.

In addition to tires, butyl rubber has also become more and more used in the automotive industry, such as body sealing and shock absorption and new energy battery packaging.
