How to Distinguish Butyl Inner Tubes from Ordinary Inner Tubes?

[KhloeLynn]

Natural rubber inner tubes are thick and lack elasticity, whereas butyl rubber inner tubes are thin and elastic. Below are detailed explanations about inner tubes: 1. Definition: Inner tubes, commonly known as 'inner liners,' refer to the annular elastic tubes used to maintain tire pressure, equipped with tire valves. The valve is used for inflation and maintaining a certain air pressure inside the inner tube. Inner tubes should possess excellent air tightness, heat resistance, elasticity, aging resistance, and minimal permanent deformation. They are generally made from butyl rubber. 2. Classification: Inner tubes serve as inflatable damping containers, used as auxiliary pressure-bearing containers within the tire cavities of trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and rickshaws. Based on the primary material composition, they can be categorized into natural rubber inner tubes and butyl rubber inner tubes.
