Polymers can be naturally obtained from surface desposits and can also be synthesized in Polymer Factories with colonists. It is mainly used for construction.
Background[]
Some of the most important and widely used materials on Earth are made from polymers. While the dependency on such materials on Mars is artificially circumvented as much as possible due to the scarcity of the molecule (unlike Earth, Mars has no fossil fuel reserves to act as a polymer source), their importance cannot be avoided all together. Plastics, rubbers and more advanced isolations have a fundamental role to play in creating and maintaining pressure differentials between habitats and external areas.
