1.1 FormThis specification covers a butyl (IIR) rubber in the form of sheet, strip, tubing, extrusions, and molded shapes.1.2 ApplicationThese products have been used typically for parts such as V-rings, gaskets, grommets, and seals requiring resistance to phosphate esters or low permeability to gases, but usage is not limited to such applications. These products are notsuitable for use in contact with petroleum-base fluids due to excessive swell.1.3 Safety - Hazardous MaterialsWhile the materials, methods, applications, and processes described or referenced in this specification may involve the use of hazardous materials, this specification does not address the hazards which may be involved in such use. It is thesole responsibility of the user to ensure familiarity with the safe and proper use of any hazardous materials and to take necessary precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all personnel involved.
