Polybutene Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- PB
- Butene Polymer
Polybutene supplier for adhesive, sealant, cable-compound, lubricant and industrial buyers in Malaysia. Liquid polybutene is a low-molecular-weight polymer of mixed butenes: a tacky, colourless to pale, non-drying hydrophobic fluid graded by molecular weight and viscosity rather than by a single fixed formula.
Commercial grades span low, medium and high viscosity liquid polybutene, often identified by a numeric grade code. Lower-viscosity material aids mixing and spray or pump handling, while higher-viscosity grades give stronger tack and body in adhesives, sealants and lubricant packages.
Typical applications include pressure-sensitive and hot-melt adhesives, sealants, cable filling compounds, two-stroke oil and lubricant viscosity modifiers, metalworking fluids and agricultural spray stickers. Polyisobutylene (PIB) is a separate homopolymer and is not treated as a grade on this page.
Send the required viscosity grade or grade code, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Polybutene grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low-viscosity liquid polybutene | free-flowing viscous liquid | — | Adhesive and sealant formulations, spray systems and lubricant blends where lower viscosity aids mixing, pumping and film formation. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Medium-viscosity liquid polybutene | moderately viscous tacky liquid | — | Hot-melt and pressure-sensitive adhesives, cable filling compounds and general industrial tackifier or viscosity-modifier duties. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-viscosity liquid polybutene | highly viscous tacky liquid | — | Heavy tackifier and bodying agent work in adhesives, sealants, two-stroke oil modifiers and metalworking fluids where higher molecular weight is specified. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep containers closed in a cool, dry place away from strong oxidising agents. Follow the safety information supplied with the quoted grade.
Common questions about polybutene
Is polybutene the same as polyisobutylene or PIB?
No. Polybutene is a low-molecular-weight liquid polymer made from mixed butenes, while polyisobutylene (PIB) is a separate isobutylene homopolymer with its own grade range. Request each product under its own identity so the correct chemistry is quoted.
Which polybutene viscosity grade should I request?
Commercial liquid polybutene is sold as low, medium and high viscosity grades, often identified by a supplier number code. State the grade code you currently use, or the target viscosity and application, so a matching liquid grade can be considered.
What is liquid polybutene used for?
Typical uses include adhesive and sealant tackifiers, hot-melts, cable filling compounds, lubricant and two-stroke oil viscosity modifiers, metalworking fluids and agricultural spray adhesives. Describe the end use when enquiring so the grade discussion stays practical.
How is polybutene priced for Malaysian buyers?
Polybutene price depends on viscosity grade, specification, quantity and packing. Send those details with the delivery location and any document needs for a current quotation with a stated validity period.
Can packing and documentation be confirmed with the quotation?
Yes. List the preferred pack format and any required product documents in the enquiry. Available packing, documentation and commercial terms are confirmed for the quoted polybutene grade.
Is polybutene-1 pipe resin available under this product page?
No. Polybutene-1 (PB-1) pipe and plumbing resin is a different crystalline polymer and is not covered here. This page addresses liquid mixed-butene polybutene used as a tackifier and viscosity modifier.
