Polyisobutylene, also known as "PIB" or polyisobutene, (C 4 H 8) n, is the homopolymer of isobutylene, or 2-methyl-1-propene, on which butyl rubber is based. Butyl rubber is produced by polymerization of about 98% of isobutylene with about 2% of isoprene.
Polyisobutene (polyisobutylene) is a class of organic polymers prepared by polymerization of isobutene. The polymers often have the formula Me 3 C[CH 2 CMe 2] n H (Me = CH 3). They are typically colorless gummy solids. Cationic polymerization, initiated with a strong Brønsted or Lewis acid, is the typical method for its production.
Polybutene is an organic polymer made from a mixture of 1-butene, 2-butene, and isobutylene.Ethylene steam cracker C4s are also used as supplemental feed for polybutene. It is similar to polyisobutylene (PIB), which is produced from essentially pure isobutylene made in a C4 complex of a major refinery.
Isobutylene is used in the production of a variety of products. It is alkylated with butane to produce isooctane or dimerized to diisobutylene (DIB) and then hydrogenated to make isooctane, a fuel additive. Isobutylene is also used in the production of methacrolein.
We’re living in an era of “tweakments,” where minimally invasive cosmetic procedures like Botox and filler have been reduced to nothing more than an ordinary step in one’s skincare regimen ...
Another way to categorize the various components of gum bases is by their utility in the base. Elastomers: provide the elasticity or bounce, and can be natural latexes (e.g. couma macrocarpa (also called leche caspi or sorva), loquat (also called nispero), tunu, jelutong, or chicle (which is still commercially produced), or synthetic rubbers (e.g. styrene-butadiene rubber, butyl rubber ...
It wasn’t until the pandemic that the real dangers to Black patients became clear. In 2021, the Food and Drug Administration warned about flawed pulse oximeter readings on darker skin.
