Polybutene — Non-Curing Tackifying Fluid
Polybutene is a permanently tacky, non-drying liquid polymer used as a plasticiser and tackifier in sealants, adhesives and lubricant formulations. Allzone supplies polybutene to Canadian formulators with the viscosity grade confirmed against supplier documentation.

Technical & procurement detail
Functional role of polybutene+
Polybutene never cures or dries, so it holds tack and flexibility indefinitely and stays in place without migrating the way many plasticisers do. Insulating glass sealants, butyl tapes and caulks depend on that permanence, and its clean thermal decomposition also suits lubricant and metalworking use.
Selecting the right grade+
Molecular weight and viscosity define the grade and control tack, flow and stringiness, and the practical spread between grades is large. Application method, service temperature and any migration or staining constraint determine what is quoted.
Documentation and specification+
Properties differ between producers and between grades of the same material. Allzone confirms the applicable grade with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
Frequently asked questions
Will polybutene migrate out of the sealant?+
Polybutene is chosen precisely because it resists the migration and volatility that affect many plasticisers, but behaviour depends on grade and substrate. Confirm the viscosity grade against the supplier data for your system.
Which grade will I be quoted?+
The grade is set by your specification. Share the target performance, process conditions and any customer or regulatory requirement in the RFQ and the matching grade is confirmed with the supplier before quotation.
What packaging is available?+
Packaging is confirmed with the supplier at quotation for the grade and quantity discussed.
Can you deliver across Ontario and Quebec?+
Yes. LTL and FTL freight is arranged across Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada, with container-direct supply for repeat volumes.
