- Product Benefits
- KALENE® 800 offers the performance benefits of butyl rubber and the processing convenience of a liquid. It makes convenient bases for sealants, coatings, and adhesives. These coatings have higher solids than those based on butyl rubber because the KALENE® products are liquids.
- KALENE® elastomer's butyl properties impart chemical resistance to a wide variety of sealants and adhesives. It is ideal for applications requiring chemical and moisture resistance.
- KALENE® products also provide tack to pressure sensitive adhesives and improve the adhesion of butyl-based adhesives and sealants. Since they cure by the same mechanism as butyl rubber, they become part of the polymer matrix.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Viscosity
KALENE® 1300 is a low molecular weight grade of butyl rubber. It is a viscous liquid at typical processing temperatures. The table below indicates the viscosity (cP) when heated to typical processing temperatures.
Temperature Viscosity (cP) 66°C 8,00,000 93°C 1,50,000 121°C 40,000 149°C 16,000 Many systems require both butyl rubber properties and much lower viscosity. The standard method is to dissolve butyl rubber in solvent. KALENE® products are much more soluble than butyl rubber, so they produce adhesives, sealants, and coatings with a lower volatile content. The viscosity at 25°C of KALENE® 1300 in common solvents is shown below:

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Regional Availability
- Typical Packaging
KALENE® 800 is available in the following standard packages:
- 100 lb. release coated fiber keg
- 350 lb. steel drum
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- min. 2 years
- Handling
- KALENE® products are high viscosity polymers. Heating the drum lowers the viscosity for easier handling. Vent the drums before heating to avoid pressure build up.
- KALENE® liquid polymers can be compounded with virtually any type of rubber processing equipment. Processing requirements vary with the desired finished properties and with the other formulation ingredients.
- Storage Condition
Store in a dry environment to prevent damage to the packaging. The liquid rubber products are stable over a wide temperature range. They are not damaged by freezing temperatures or occasional short-term exposure to temperatures of 66°C.
