Amerigo manufactures high quality BUTYL RUBBER SHEETS in India which are supplied to various industries as per it's applications.The Butyl Rubber Sheets are ideally suited for a wide range of industrial applications. The Butyl rubber sheets are highly versatile due to their excellent properties, including chemical resistance, weather resistance, and airtightness.

Features of Butyl Rubber Sheet:
● Gasket & Seals – Used in industrial equipment to prevent leaks of gases and liquids. Vibration Dampening – Absorbs shocks and reduces vibration in machinery. Tank Lining – Protects metal tanks from corrosive chemicals.
● Inner Tubes & Tires – Due to its excellent air retention properties. Soundproofing – Used in vehicle interiors to reduce noise and vibrations. Weather Stripping – Provides sealing against moisture and dust.
● Waterproof Membranes – Commonly used in flat roofs and basements. Flashing & Expansion Joints – Prevents water leakage in construction structures.
● Insulation Sheets – Provides electrical insulation in high-voltage areas. Cable Coatings – Protects wires from environmental exposure.
● Protective Gloves & Sheets – Used in labs and hospitals for chemical protection. Stoppers for Bottles – Used in medical vials due to its chemical resistance.
● Sealants & Gaskets in Ships & Aircraft – Ensures airtight sealing in extreme conditions. Inflatable Life Rafts & Airships – Due to its gas impermeability.
● Artificial Turf Shock Pads – Provides cushioning in sports fields. Inflatable Boats & Equipment – Due to its high flexibility and durability.
Butyl rubber sheets are made from isobutylene-isoprene rubber (IIR) and are known for their excellent impermeability to gases, chemical resistance, and weathering durability.
Key Specs of Butyl Rubber Sheets are:1. General Properties : Polymer Base: Isobutylene-Isoprene Rubber (IIR). Density: ~0.90 - 1.20 g/cm³. Color: Black, gray, or custom colors. Hardness (Shore A): 50 – 80. Tensile Strength: 5 - 12 MPa. Elongation at Break: 300 - 600%. Compression Set: 15 - 40% (depending on temperature and time).
2. Temperature Resistance : Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +120°C. Intermittent Temperature Resistance: Up to 150°C.
3. Chemical Resistance : Excellent: Acids, alkalis, ozone, UV, and aging resistance. Moderate: Some hydrocarbons and oils. Poor: Strong solvents, fuels, and aromatic hydrocarbons.
4. Permeability & Insulation : Gas Permeability: Extremely low (excellent air and gas barrier). Electrical Insulation: High dielectric strength (good for insulating applications).
5. Applications : Roofing membranes. Automotive sealing (tire inner liners, gaskets). Chemical tank linings. Vibration damping pads. Pharmaceutical and food-grade applications.
