Increasing viscosity and tackiness in multiple formulations
Univar Solutions partners with TPC Group to deliver a robust portfolio of polyisobutylene (PIB) products in several different grades. These products have a broad range of viscosities and molecular weights to fit a multitude of applications.
Enhanced Grade Polyisobutylene
TPC Group offers enhanced grades of polyisobutylene (PIB), which are replacements for conventional grades of PIB in applications where viscosity and tackiness are desired key qualities. The proprietary production process provides clear, consistent and water white products in a variety of molecular weights and viscosities.
