What is Polyisoprene

What is Polyisoprene?

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

Polyisoprene is a synthetic elastomer with characteristics equal to, or similar to, those of natural rubber.

ADVANTAGES:

Synthetic polyisoprene exhibits excellent resilience and its color uniformity from one batch to another is easy to maintain because of the uniformity of the polymer.

LIMITATIONS:

Tensile strength is slightly lower than the tensile strength of natural rubber.

COMMON APPLICATIONS:

This elastomer is similar in composition to natural rubber and serves many applications requiring uniform quality and performance especially where color is concerned.
