Iv searched the internet and the Gulf Oil Co.
for polyisobutalene and couldnt find any for sale. I read its used for alot of stuff but couldnt find it for sale to the public. Has anyone bought it before or now where to get it?

Suppliers: http://www.rubberworld.com/suppcheck.asp?link=blank.asp&page=Polyisobutylene&pic=&piclink=
A Google search for polyisobutylene turned up a few more possibilities:

http://www.polymer-age.co.uk/directry/category/7440.htm

GTA Technologies markets a polyisobutylene product called Viscon that should be available in auto supply stores. However, this is a dissolved PIB made for use as a fuel additive.

I called one of the offices in Texas
to find out the price on polyisobutalene and they asked what I used it for, I told them I mix it with some glazes for glass and they hung up on me.
So, could anyone give me background info on this stuff, like whats its uses.

So when they ask me what i need it for I can make up a explanation.

And one more thing if you know any other good palsticizer such as PIB could you post it here.
