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.
