Application	Polyisoprene serves as a versatile material, both in its natural and synthetic forms, with a wide range of applications. Known for its high resilience and low heat buildup, Polyisoprene is often utilized in blends with other elastomers, providing advantages in easy processing and durability. Its natural form, commonly referred to as natural rubber, is derived from the latex of the Hevea brasiliensis tree and boasts resistance to water, dimethyl sulfoxide, and certain alcohols. The synthetic variant, produced through the polymerization of isoprene, shares similar attributes and is widely used in products such as automobile tires and adhesives due to its excellent abrasion resistance and low toxicity. The blend of natural and synthetic Polyisoprene finds significant applications in various industries, ranging from medical devices to everyday consumer goods, marking it as an essential material in modern manufacturing.
