HOUSTON, TEXAS 20 SEPTEMBER 2002—The International Institute of Synthetic Rubber Producers (IISRP) has published the 2002 edition of Worldwide Rubber Statistics, the world’s leading source for authoritative data about synthetic and natural rubber, and is making copies available to interested parties.
This edition of the 110-page book, which has been published annually for the last 22 years, contains newly revised capacity for Butadiene Styrene Block Copolymers, according to Britt Theismann, IISRP’s Director of Statistical Information. In addition, it has significant revisions to other elastomer type capacities as the synthetic rubber market continues to be dynamic.
The 8 1/2” x 11” book provides a comprehensive examination of world production and consumption of elastomers, a five-year forecast of future consumption and an analysis of capacity by elastomer type, by geographical distribution, and by corporate ownership.
It also features a graphics section that emphasizes statistics in easy-to-read format and a section on capacities of synthetic rubber production facilities throughout the world, including a section on planned and announced expansions of synthetic rubber plants.
In addition, the book provides information about motor vehicles and tires in major countries and regions of the world.
