Isoprene is a rubber auxiliary agent used to improve the properties of rubber products. It is a monomer of natural rubber and is used to increase the elasticity, strength, and durability of rubber products. Isoprene is also used to reduce the cost of rubber production by increasing the efficiency of the rubber manufacturing process. Isoprene is used in a variety of rubber products, including tires, hoses, belts, and seals. Isoprene is produced from petroleum-based feedstocks, such as propylene and butadiene. It is also produced from natural sources, such as isoprene trees. The global isoprene market is driven by the increasing demand for rubber products in the automotive and construction industries. Some of the major companies in the isoprene market include ExxonMobil, Shell, BASF, Sinopec, and Lanxess. Other companies include Eastman Chemical, Dow Chemical, and Mitsui Chemicals.
