Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010063428A1] The invention relates to a pneumatic object provided with an elastomer layer sealed against an inflation gas such as air, said layer comprising at least, as the predominant elastomer, a thermoplastic polystyrene and polyisobutylene block copolymer, such as a SIBS (styrene/isobutylene/styrene) copolymer, and expanded thermoplastic microspheres at a level preferably from 1 to 30 pce. Said copolymer contains preferably from 5 to 50 wt % of styrene, the number-average molecular weight thereof is from 30000 to 500000 g/mol, and the Tg thereof is less than -20°C. Optionally, the sealed elastomer layer also comprises, as a plasticizer, an extension oil, particularly a polybutene oil, at a level preferably between 5 and 100 pce. Said sealed layer has not only excellent sealing properties but also a density and a hysteresis that are both comparatively lower than butyl rubber layers. The invention particularly relates to a tire for an automobile.
