polybutene
Viscous industrial polymer
Polybutene is a synthetic polymer derived from butene, used industrially as a thickening agent, adhesive component, or lubricant additive.
It appears in caulks, sealants, chewing gum bases, and motor oils.
The term sometimes overlaps with polyisobutylene, a related polymer with similar applications.
