Isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) is a volatile C5 diene used primarily as the monomer feedstock for polyisoprene and other diene-based polymers, and as a chemical intermediate in specialty elastomers and copolymers. Product is supplied in grades controlled for inhibitor content and volatile/impurity profile to meet polymerization and downstream-process requirements.
Application
- Synthetic polyisoprene production
Primary monomer for polymerization to produce polyisoprene (synthetic rubber) used in tires, seals and elastomeric goods. - Copolymers & specialty elastomers
Co-monomer in styrene-isoprene, butadiene-isoprene and other copolymer systems for tailored mechanical properties. - Adhesives & pressure-sensitive formulations
Feedstock for elastomeric adhesives and PSA polymers where diene-derived tack and elasticity are required. - Chemical intermediate & specialty syntheses
Building block for specialty organic syntheses and functionalized diene derivatives. - Research, pilot-scale polymer development & analytical use
Small-pack high-purity lots used in R&D, pilot polymerization and analytical method development.
