Butyl rubber is a great option for shock absorption. It offers exceptionally low gas and moisture permeability and outstanding resistance to heat, ageing, weather, ozone, chemical attack, flexing, abrasion and tearing. Butyl is resistant to phosphate ester based hydraulic fluids and has excellent electrical insulation properties. It has a tendency to trap air, blister and creep during manufacture. Common applications include O-rings, tank liners and sealants. Its impermeability to gas makes butyl ideal for seals in vacuum applications.
