Butyl rubber and polyisobutylene
Buna rubber
EPDM rubber
Polyurethane rubber
Fluorosilicone rubber 
Neoprene (polychloroprene or polychloroisoprene)
see elastomer

message: The article needs to be improved regarding the biologically-degradability of isoprene.
For example is the Bouchardt isoprene biologically degredable ? Also, methyl isoprene seems to have a good chance of being biologically degredable. Both, because the products seem to be close to natural rubber (similar to other substances as eg ethanol, ... which too are made artificially but are still bio-degradable).
If the substances are bio-degradable, they should require their own page, and the page could be fitted with a  template, indicating it's suitable to the C2C-recycling method.
Regarding the Bouchardt isoprene, following info can be added:
Bouchardt obtained isoprene from natural rubber by distillation, treated it with hydrochloric acid and obtained a tough elastic rubber like solid.

message: Hi,
I think that the annual production mentioned is wrong. It is not of 15 million tons as mentioned. It is rather the double!
Only the natural rubber is produced annually at a level of 10 million tons (10 billion Kg), so the total should be about 30 billion kg, not 15.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Séraphin 01 (talk • contribs) 05:12, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  figures are wrong 

message: In USA, on TV the history shows say "CRC, the Chemical Rubber Company" came out with the first practical high volume low cost durable synthetic tire, a hurried project for use in the world war.
It's then said the family ownership dissapated but that the family still runs a famous cancer treatment center, aquired using the remainder of their CRC fortune.
CRC Press is not simply a book company (a later division). That revisionism. They weren't called the Chemical Rubber Company for no reason.
Tell me I'm wrong. Try me.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.219.202.186 (talk) 00:28, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi 72.219.202.186, I'm not entirely sure what your issue is with this article. The Chemical Rubber Company (CRC) is not mentioned anywhere in the article, and neither is the modern CRC Press. Is this omission what you term "revisionism"? If you have reliable sources that describe the role of the CRC in the history of synthetic rubber, then please do add this information, referencing as is appropriate with full citations. Please remember to always assume good faith on the behalf of other editors and that original research is not allowed. Tomásdearg92 (talk) 15:03, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
