Elastomers are the polymers that possess elastic property. They are cross-linked polymer with weak intermolecular forces and indefinite structure. They have high tensile strength and exhibit low electrical conductivity. Generally, elastomers are of two types thermoset and thermoplastic. Thermoplastic elastomers have both the property of rubber and elastic. This type of elastomers is easy to process. Good chemical resistance and recyclability are main advantages of thermoplastic. Meanwhile, when thermoset polymers are processed, they create cross-linking bonds. The bonds of elastomers are irreversible and will not go under deformation easily. The elastomers have high heat resistance and are considered to be cost-effective materials with aesthetic appearance.

Glass transition temperature acts as limitation for elastic behavior of elastomers. Elastomers temperature less than glass transition temperature restricts the large deformations as the movement of molecules are limited. Elastomers are rigid and fragile below glass transition temperature.

Elastomers are finding increased demand in automotive, pharmaceuticals, electrical & electronics, building & construction, and other developing sectors. Elastomer in vehicle manufacturing industries acts as a replacement to PVC and other materials, which increases fuel efficiency and performance. Elastomers find high demand in the construction industry in applications such as sealing and electrical insulation.  Increase in global demand for medical industry boost the usage of elastomers as well. Furthermore, due to its durability and property like flexibility they are used in manufacturing of gloves, gaskets, and molding products. On the other hand, market growth is restrained by its adverse effect on environment. Other factor that regulates the growth are the stringent regulatory laws for manufacturers. Fluctuating price of elastomer is also major concern for production. Market growth and demand in sports accessories and automobile manufacturing is one of the largest opportunity for elastomer market.
