Record 3 2008-02-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Rubber
DEF

A synthetic elastomer produced by catalytic copolymerization of isobutene (isobutylene) with no more than 3% of isoprene; the latter is necessary to permit vulcanization with sulfur-accelerator systems.

OBS

It is superior to natural rubber in resistance to attack by oxygen and ozone, in dielectric strength, and particularly in [its] ability to retain inner gases, a property which makes it valuable as an inner lining for tubeless tires.

CONT

Isobutylene Isoprene Rubber(IIR). Butyl is a common term used for the isobutylene isoprene elastomer. As the name implies, butyl is comprised of isobutylene with a small amount of isoprene. It is known for its excellent resistance to water, steam, alkalis, and oxygenated solvents. Another outstanding characteristic is low gas permeation. Butyl is capable of providing high energy absorption(dampening) and good hot tear strength.

Key term(s)
  • isobutylene-isoprene rubber
  • GRI

French

Domaine(s)
  • Caoutchouc
DEF

Copolymère de l'isobutène et du butadiène.

OBS

Les butylcaoutchoucs les plus courants renferment environ 2 % d'isoprène. [...] leur exceptionnelle imperméabilité aux gaz, très supérieure à celle du caoutchouc naturel, [...] est la propriété la plus remarquable des butylcaoutchoucs. Ils constituent la matière première de la quasi-totalité des chambres à air des pneumatiques utilisés dans l'aviation et l'automobile.

caoutchouc butylique : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Maintenance.

Record 4 2004-07-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mountain Sports
CONT

Soft, flexible Black Diamond climbing pants allow you to move freely. Hassle-free pull-on style with drawstring elastic waist and narrow tapered legs. Side seam pockets. Back hook-and-loop closure pocket.

CONT

Climbing trousers, constructed from a hardwearing lightweight fabric. The thermal quality makes them ideal for warming up, bouldering and rock climbing. The ultimate combination of durability warmth & comfort!

CONT

Read the paper, went to the shops where I managed to get myself some alpine climbing trousers from Decathlon. Made by Millet, they look like your standard baggy synthetic trousers, but they stretch a bit so they can be tighter without sacrificing mobility. A snip at 33 quid.

OBS

In the selection of pants, again looseness and comfort are of prime importance. For both hiking and climbing, trousers should never be too tight.

OBS

Be sure the trousers are roomy. They must be ample around the waist in order to accommodate a heavy sweater, shirt, and extra layer of wool, and still allow unrestricted movement.

OBS

Advantages and disadvantages of certain materials. Whipcord is made for laborers, postmen, milkmen, and such and will not get wet with the first raindrops. Corduroy, on the other hand, soaks up moisture too easily and is not very durable. Wool will remain warm even when drenched and is the best answer for outdoor wear. You may consider lederhosen, leather pants imported from the Alps. The knicker length variety, though expensive, are a good investment because rocks will not tear them. Non-waterproof nylon wind pants are useful to wear over other trousers in windy, frigid areas and when climbing extensively above timberline. Wind pants should be loose-fitting and have a drawstring around the ankles to prevent wind from blowing up the legs. Rain pants in waterproof fabric are of some value in wet, brushy areas, but in general the lack of ventilation makes these pants unsatisfactory. A light pair of cotton pants may be used as extras for hot weather, but are no substitute for wool pants in cold weather.

OBS

Terms usually used in the plural.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sports de montagne
CONT

La forme la plus pratique pour un pantalon de montagne est la forme knicker (forme courte s'arrêtant à 10 cm au-dessous du genou).

CONT

Pour le pantalon, je vais devoir en acheter un mais j'hésite entre un pantalon d'alpinisme et sur pantalon gore tex + bas en capilène.

OBS

Avantages et inconvénients de certains tissus. Le velours absorbe l'humidité, donc une fois mouillé sèche difficilement. Le meilleur tissu, car il est chaud, est ce qu'on appelle le drap de montagne, donc les draps de Bonneval, de Bagnes et de Bessans et le whipcord. Les pantalons peuvent être en gabardine légère pour les courses de rocher.

OBS

Le cuir est à déconseiller, car il durcit en séchant et blesse l'entre-jambe.

OBS

Le pantalon de laine est chaud, mais lourd.
