Hi guys, I have a quick question on this checmical, Polybutene. At my plant, we are having a pigeon problem in one of our compressor buildings. We requested some samples of some bird "deterrent" products. One that came back was this gel type stuff. I noticed that it was 97% Polybutene.
Anyways, so I googled this stuff and found out that it was a tacky adhesive used in many different types of applications. I figured the premise of the product was that the birds would not like to land on the gel and stick to it. So, this company charges a small fortune for this stuff which only covers 10ft per bottle. Were looking at over 800 feet that we need to cover, so were looking for cheaper solutions.
I guess my question is what is the consistency of pure Polybutene? Is it in a form that could be easily applied to beams and things like that? Is there a place where a large order of this stuff can be placed (I seen it's a main ingredient in lip gloss, so there's got to be some place to get this stuff).
Thanks for the help
