Polyisoprene is a collective name given for polymers that are synthesized by the polymerization of isoprene. Because of its comparable chemical structure and physical qualities, it is frequently used as a substitute for natural rubber. It is available in a variety of forms, including solid blocks, latex, and solution.

It is utilized in producing a wide variety of products, including medical gloves, condoms, infant bottle nipples, and adhesives. Moreover, polyisoprene is also used to make tires, O-rings, seals, gaskets, anti-vibration mounts, shoe soles, and other rubber components. Additionally, it also finds applications in manufacturing medical devices, surgical tubing, medical fluid transport tubing, and electrical insulations.

The growing demand for safe and hygienic products, notably in the healthcare and automotive industries, is driving the market for polyisoprene. Its utilization in the production of medical gloves, medical devices, tires, gaskets, etc., strengthens its demand in these industries. Moreover, its application in electrical insulating materials and footwear further amplifies its demand in the electrical & electronics and apparel industries. Additionally, due to its properties of high tensile strength and high purity, it is also used in the consumer goods industry for manufacturing baby bottles, milk tubing, and other food contact items, which notably boosts its market growth. Its demand has also increased due to the increased use of disposable medical goods.

Furthermore, the growing trend towards environmentally friendly and sustainable materials has increased the demand for polyisoprene as a natural and biodegradable alternative to synthetic rubber. The development of innovative technologies and procedures to improve the characteristics and performance of polyisoprene has also fuelled its market expansion. Furthermore, the availability and cost of production of polyisoprene’s feedstock (glucose-water syrup), polyisoprene market prices, regulatory compliances, distribution (including trading and shipping), logistics, etc., are some of the elements that influence industrial polyisoprene procurement.

Raw Material for Polyisoprene Production

According to the Polyisoprene manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Polyisoprene production include Glucose-Water Syrup.

Manufacturing Process of Polyisoprene

The extensive Polyisoprene production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production from Polymerization: This production process involves using glucose-water syrup (70% by weight) as a raw material. This syrup is subjected to an aerobic fermentation step, followed by polymerization, which results in the formation of polyisoprene.

Polyisoprene has a density of 0.92 g/cm3 and a molecular weight of about 68.12 g/mol. It is a colourless to light yellow translucent material that can be treated using extrusion, injection moulding, and calendaring techniques. It has a tensile strength of 20-30 MPa and an elongation at break of up to 1000%.

It offers exceptional abrasion, tearing, and weathering resistance, making it perfect for use in outdoor applications. Its characteristics can be altered by adding fillers such as carbon black or silica, which can improve its strength, stiffness, and abrasion resistance. It can also be combined with other elastomers or thermoplastics to produce products with unique characteristics.
