ALPHABETIC COMPILATION OF DATA
BUTYL RUBBER
A typical formulation comprises 97 parts of isobutylene (2-methylpropene)

CH3
I
( ) CH 3 -C-CH 2
and 3 parts of isoprene (2-methylbutadiene)
CH3
CH 2 -CH-t=CH 2 ,
copolymerized in the presence of aluminium chloride. The general charac-

teristics of a butyl rubber compound may be sulTfllarized as follows:
Dielectric constant at l kHz 7-10

Resistivity (n cm) 1012_1014
Dielectric strength (kV/lllTl) 6-20
Ultimate tensile strength (N/mm 2 ) 17-21
Ultimate elongation (%) 500-900
Hardness Shore A 40-90
Abrasion resistance compared
to PVC good
The material is not recolllTlended for use in radiation areas. It is

severely damaged above 5 x 10 4 Gy.
