Polyisobutylene (PIB)

Polyisobutylene (PIB) is a high-value specialty polymer derived from isobutylene, used across lubricant additives, fuel additives, adhesives, and sealants. Supply is concentrated among a handful of major petrochemical producers in Germany, the US, and China, making pricing highly sensitive to crude oil derivatives and C4 refinery stream availability. Trade flows are closely monitored for country-of-origin compliance due to antidumping measures in key importing regions, and the product requires careful handling logistics due to its viscous, potentially flammable characteristics.
