Artificial rubber is also known as synthetic rubber, it is an artificial elastomer synthesized from petroleum by-products by usingthe crudeoil as raw material. It bears mechanical properties such as high tear resistance, low temperature flexibility, high tensile strength, chemical resistance, fluid resistance, ozone resistance, and electrical resistance. Artificial rubber is manufactured by polymerization of isoprene, butadiene, or similar unsaturated hydrocarbons or by copolymerization of similar hydrocarbons with styrene, acrylonitrile, or other polymerizable compounds. It is mainly used to manufacture tires. Due to
properties such as low temperature flexibility, gas-permeability, and oil resistance, it is widely used in the production of tire inner tubes.
Increase in demand for artificial rubber in tire manufacturing owing to its useful properties such as control, grip, wet traction, puncture resistance, and direction stability is expected to fuel the market demand. For instance, synthetic rubber offers high temperature resistance in airplane tiresto sustain the heat created during landing.In addition, rapid usage of artificial rubber in shoe soles, conveyer belts, and carpets fuels the market growth over the projected timeframe. However, production of soot during the manufacturing of artificial rubber causes environmental issues such as climate change. Further, volatilityissues of the petroleum products used in artificial rubber are expected to hamper the market growth. Nonetheless, development of bio-based feedstock in manufacturing synthetic rubber is anticipated to make way for growth opportunities in the upcoming period.
