Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Polybutene Market Size, Market Share, Application Analysis, Regional Outlook, Growth Trends, Key Players, Competitive Strategies and Forecasts, 2017 to 2025" report to their offering.

The Polybutene market was valued at US$ 1,827.0 Mn in 2016, and is expected to reach US$ 2,733.9 Mn by 2025, expanding at a CAGR of 4.6% from 207 to 2025.

Polybutene is a polymer which is derived from isobutylene. Polybutene is a colorless, odorless and tasteless pale yellow viscous liquid. It is differentiated based on grades by characteristic such as molecular weight and the grades with high molecular weight are known to have increased viscosity. Polybutene is available in various grades in the market. It is also known as liquid oligomer which has application as a plasticizer for various applications in the market. It is used as a plasticizer for high molecular weight polymers such as polyethylene, lubricants and carriers among others.

Polybutenes are utilized as lubricant for metallurgical oil, 2-cycle engine lubricant, compressor oil, viscosity index enhancer. It is also used as metallurgical oil. The demand of wrap films gets increased as industries develop and household income increases. Wrap films used to be a mixed product of LDPE, EVA, but is being substituted to LLDPE. Polybutene is used for the condenser, Jelly compound for no impurities and superior electrical insulating property. Polybutene is used as adhesives as it improves the tack and peel strength of elastomer. Polybutene partially replaces tackifier, so it is economical. Personal care products like lip-gloss and roll-on deodorants can be formulated with polybutene. It also find its usage in numerous industrial applications such as sealants, adhesives, coatings, polymer modification, personal care and cosmetic preparations among others
