VITROX®

Huntsman Brand

The VITROX® family of high-performance polyurethane resin systems can be used in demanding structural and semi-structural composite applications in Transportation including interior load floor components, suspension components, body structure components, powertrain/wheel components, and battery enclosures. VITROX® system benefits include adjustment of the pot-life to match individual processing conditions, coupled with the ability to offer faster curing cycles along with excellent mechanical properties. VITROX® polyurethane systems offer a robust processing window for a number of manufacturing methods such as resin transfer molding, spray honeycomb and filament winding. VITROX® resin provides a longer handling window, faster curing time and superior high-temperature resistance properties compared to existing technologies.
