Manufacturing innertubes with Exxon™ butyl rubber or Exxon™ chlorobutyl rubber instead of natural rubber provides numerous benefits to the users of bicycle tires, radial truck tube-type tires and some severe service, off-road tire applications.
Benefits include:
Recommended products:
Exxon halobutyl rubber is the world’s most widely used butyl rubber for tire innerliners. It provides tire innerliners with the outstanding inflation pressure loss rate (IPLR) and very reliable performance that have made it the most widely used butyl rubber for innerliners.
Key benefits include:
The higher the halobutyl content in the innerliner, the greater the durability of the tire. The superior air barrier performance of halobutyl innerliners prevents carcass deterioration in passenger and truck tires.
For high-performance bicycle tires, Exxpro™ specialty elastomer is used in tread compounds to improve traction.

Exxon™ butyl rubber is the foundation of today’s butyl rubber technology. It is a copolymer of isobutylene and a small amount of isoprene. The primary properties are excellent air-barrier performance, good flex fatigue and vibration damping.
Exxon™ bromobutyl rubber is derived from halogenating butyl rubber with bromine in a continuous process. It is structurally similar to Exxon™ chlorobutyl rubber and produced through the same halogenation process.
Exxon™ chlorobutyl rubber is derived from halogenating butyl rubber with chlorine in a continuous process. It is structurally similar to Exxon bromobutyl rubber and produced through the same halogenation process.
Exxpro™ specialty elastomers, brominated isobutylene paramethyl-styrene terpolymers (BIMSM), provide 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.
