What is IIR?

“IIR” stands for Isobutylene Isoprene Rubber, which is a synthetic rubber compound commonly known by its trade name “Butyl rubber.” It is a copolymer of isobutylene and isoprene, and it possesses unique properties that make it suitable for a range of applications. Butyl rubber is known for its excellent air and gas impermeability, good weather resistance, and low gas and moisture permeability.
