Butyl Rubber

Raw rubber has very long molecular chains that must be shortened through mastication to allow for mixing with other ingredients. Mastication reduces the molecular weight of the rubber by shortening its chains, allowing for homogeneous distribution of ingredients into the rubber. Only after mastication can ingredients be evenly mixed into the rubber.

Introduction

Raw rubber is a very high molecular material. To mix IIR and ingredients the IIR has to
be masticated. Mastication shortens rubber molecular chains, resulting in a reduced
molecular weight. Only than ingredients can be homogeneous distributed into the
rubber.
