Polyisoprene (C5H8) is a synthetic elastomer that exhibits similar characteristics as that of natural rubber. It can be naturally extracted from the sap of the Hevea Brasiliensis tree. On the other hand, polyisoprene can be produced industrially by the polymerization of the isoprene monomer.
As compared to natural rubber, polyisoprene has better weather resistance and possesses a purer, more consistent and homogenous polymer structure. It is used in various applications that require low water swell, good resilience, good tack, high gum tensile strength, and high hot tensile strength.
Polyisoprene Market Trends:
Polyisoprene is increasingly being used as an alternative to natural rubber in the manufacturing of catheters, medical balloons, and surgical or medical gloves for better comfort and enhanced protection from pathogens. The extensive utilization of these products in the healthcare sector is providing an impetus to the market growth. In line with this, the onset of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has facilitated the usage of medical gloves significantly to minimize the spread of the virus, which, in turn, is influencing the market growth.
Moreover, there has been a rise in awareness regarding the usage of effective contraceptives to avoid sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and unplanned pregnancies, which has contributed to the demand for wearable contraceptives. This is further supported by rapid investments by manufacturers to develop and market innovative condom designs.
Other than this, leading polyisoprene manufacturers are focusing on research and development (R&D) activities to introduce improved products with high resealability and low needle penetration resistance. This is acting as another growth-inducing factor for the market.
