Polybutenes.


Indopol polybutenes, featured in the company's 32-page, four-color brochure, are synthetic hydrocarbon polymers made by polymerization polymerization

Any process in which monomers combine chemically to produce a polymer. The monomer molecules—which in the polymer usually number from at least 100 to many thousands—may or may not all be the same.
 of C4 olefins (primarily isobutene), and are available in a wide range of viscosities. All Indopol grades are colorless, practically non-toxic and exhibit little or no odor. They are nondrying and do not leave residues when volatilized vol·a·til·ize

1. To become or make volatile.

2. To evaporate or cause to evaporate.

1. To separate into components or basic elements.

2. To cause to rot.

1. pertaining to hydrophobia (rabies).

2. not readily absorbing water, or being adversely affected by water.

, can easily be emulsified and are resistant to oxidation by light and moderate heat, according to the literature. The higher viscosity grades are also tacky. This combination of physical properties and wide range of products is said to make Indopol polybutenes extremely versatile. Indopol polybutenes possess an olefinic double bond at the end of each molecule.
