butyl
Rubber chemistry term
Butyl refers to a chemical group derived from butane, a four-carbon hydrocarbon.
It appears most often in compound terms: butyl rubber is a synthetic rubber known for being airtight, used in inner tubes and sealants; butyl alcohol is an industrial solvent.
In chemistry, butyl designates the specific molecular arrangement C₄H₉.
