Specialty elastomer for pharmaceuticals
Exxpro™ specialty elastomers are brominated isobutylene paramethyl-styrene terpolymers (BIMSM). Together with Exxon™ halobutyl rubber, Exxpro specialty elastomers help the healthcare industry meet ever-changing requirements related to cleanliness, drug compatibility, low extractables and leachables.
Ideal for sensitive drugs and other demanding applications, Exxpro specialty elastomers are a super-clean solution and cost-effective alternative to expensive coated stoppers. In the tire industry, Exxpro is used for high-performance bladders and envelopes.
Benefits
- High temperature resistance
- Greater heat stability compared to EPDM rubbers
- Low permeability and high damping similar to butyl rubber
- Wide latitude in cure and cocure with a variety of rubbers
- Ozone/weathering resistance
