Results for tag: "Bio Polybutadiene"

Bio polybutadiene is a synthetic rubber, derived from biological sources, which serves as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional polybutadiene. It is a polymer formed from the polymerization of butadiene, which is a monomer obtained from the dehydrogenation of biologically derived butenes. Bio polybutadiene is known for its high resilience and resistance to wear and is commonly used in the production of tires, plastic modifications, and in the manufacture of golf balls and various rubber products. Its adoption is driven by an increased interest in sustainable materials within the automotive industry and other sectors where rubber is extensively utilized. Research and development in the field of bio-based polymers have led to advancements in the performance characteristics of bio polybutadiene, making it more competitive with its fossil fuel-based counterparts. Companies operating in the bio polybutadiene market include major chemical and rubber manufacturers such as Lanxess, JSR Corporation, UBE Industries, and Versalis. These companies are actively engaged in the production and distribution of bio-based rubber materials. They often collaborate with agricultural firms for the sourcing of bio-based feedstocks and invest in technological advancements to improve the efficiency and properties of bio polybutadiene.
