What is Butyl Rubber?

Gambar
Butyl Rubber Sheet      Butyl rubber is a synthetic rubber, a copolymer of isobutylene with isoprene. The abbreviation for isoprene-isobutylene rubber is IIR (Isobutylene Isoprene Rubber). Polyisobutylene, also known as PIB or polyisobutene, (C4H8), is the homopolymer of isobutylene, or 2-methyl-1-propene, on which butyl rubber is based. Butyl rubber is produced by polymerizing approximately 98% isobutylene with 2% isoprene. Structurally, polyisobutylene resembles polypropylene, but has two substituent methyl groups on one of the two carbon atoms. Polyisobutylene is a colorless to pale yellow liquid viscoelastic material. It is generally odorless and tasteless, although it may have a slight characteristic odour. Butyl rubber has excellent impermeability, and the long polyisobutylene segments in its polymer chain give it good flex properties. Chemical Structure and Synthesis Process      Polyisobutylene is a vinyl polymer with a structure very similar to pol...

Advantages of Kaolin in Various Industries

Overview Kaolin Did you know about Kaolin? It has a lot of applications in various industries, so let's take a look what Kaolin is. Kaolinite, Source:  Wikipedia Kaolinite is a clay mineral, with the chemical composition Al2Si2O5(OH)4. It is an important industrial mineral. It is a layered silicate mineral, with one tetrahedral sheet of silica (SiO4) linked through oxygen atoms to one octahedral sheet of alumina (AlO6) octahedra. Rocks that are rich in kaolinite are known as kaolin or china clay . Kaolin is occasionally referred to by the antiquated term lithomarge, from the ancient greek litho- and Latin marga, meaning 'stone of marl' . Presently the name lithomarge can refer to a compacted, massive form of kaolin. Paper Industry The paper sector is the greatest single consumer of kaolin because kaolin makes paper goods print better, whiter, and smoother. The inclusion of kaolin as a filler in the sheet's interstices increases ink receptivity and opacity. Sharp photog...

The Difference of Palm Oil and Palm Kernel Oil

Gambar
  Palm, Source: Malaysia Palm Oil      Palm oil and palm kernel oil are very different, even though they both come from the same oil palm tree (Elaeis guineensis). Palm oil, which is made by steaming and pressing the fleshy part of the fruit, contains the most nutrients. This is similar to the process of making olive oil. Palm oil contains a 50/50 ratio of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, which is good for your heart. However, palm kernel oil, which is extracted from the fruit's seed, is high in saturated fatty acids and is thought to raise cholesterol levels.      Both palm oil and palm kernel oil are versatile oils derived from various parts of the oil palm fruit. The flesh or pulp of the fruit (the outer part) is used to extract palm oil, while the soft part of the seed is used to extract palm kernel oil (the inner part). Despite the fact that both oils come from the same fruit, palm oil and palm kernel oil are chemically and nutritionally dis...
