Custom Butyl Rubber Rollers
Butyl rubber rollers are a more specialized material option. This material is more often considered for its lower gas permeability, lower moisture permeability, and a more stable, less aggressive contact character.
It is not a broadly used general-purpose material. If your project is more sensitive to material stability and low-permeability characteristics, butyl rubber is worth evaluating separately.

What Are Butyl Rubber Rollers?
Butyl rubber usually refers to Butyl Rubber, commonly abbreviated as IIR.
In industrial rubber roller applications, it is not one of the most common basic general-purpose material options.
Some of the more representative characteristics of this material include:
- Low gas permeability
- Low moisture permeability
- Good resistance to ozone, oxidation, and weathering
- A more moderate and stable contact character
- One limitation is that it is generally not suitable for oil-contact conditions
Reference Parameters and Customization Options
Butyl rubber rollers still need to be confirmed based on the specific compound and actual operating conditions.
From a common material reference perspective, the typical ranges include:
- Reference hardness range: approx. 40–90 Shore A
- Reference temperature range: approx. -50°C to +120°C
- Main material characteristics: low gas permeability, low moisture permeability, and good ozone and weather resistance
How Does Butyl Rubber Differ from Similar Materials?
Compared with EPDM, butyl rubber is more distinctive for its lower gas permeability and lower moisture permeability.
Compared with NBR, it is not the more typical choice for oil-resistant applications.
Compared with Hypalon / CSM, although it also offers good weathering stability, one of its more distinctive characteristics is its lower permeability and more barrier-focused material properties.
