Description
Any of several thermoplastic resins made from the polymerization of butene or isobutene. Polybutylene resins can be prepared in molecular weight ranges from 600 to 60,000. They have good toughness, flexibility and moisture barrier properties. Polybutylenes are used as lubricants, adhesives, sealants, films, coatings, polymer modifiers, and elastomers.
Synonyms and Related Terms
