Commercial name: Esso Butyl (Esso).
Chlorobutyl rubber is obtained by the addition of chlorine to the compound for butyl rubber (IIR). The result obtained is a rubber that presents the characteristics of butyl rubbers, but with a better elastic behaviour: there is an increase in the Compression Set value especially at low temperatures.
