Huntsman accelerators are commonly used in combination with ARALDITE® epoxy resins, ARADUR® hardeners and JEFFAMINE® polyetheramines to accelerate the reaction rate of epoxy thermoset systems. Properly used accelerators can be an integral part of fine-tuning the reactivity of slower reacting resin formulations and can also serve to beneficially influence properties such as glass transition temperature (Tg), modulus, strength, elongation at break, and chemical resistance.

The ACOUSTIFLEX® family of formulated polyurethane systems is developed to deliver lightweight acoustic insulation and absorption in transportation-related acoustic applications. ACOUSTIFLEX® systems can provide benefits including a range of functionalities with regard to transmission loss, acoustic absorption or dynamic noise vibration damping, good thermal insulation performance, and compliance with the low emission standards for most OEMs. These systems may be used in a range of acoustic applications including flexible high-resiliency and viscoelastic foam carpet underlay, dash insulators and stuffer pads, as well as semi-rigid foam, wheelhouse, transmission tunnel and pillar cavity fill insulators and elastomeric, heavy layer noise barriers. ACOUSTIFLEX® systems offer robust processing windows for various manufacturing methods such as open- and closed-pour (injection), high-pressure, cold-cure molding, and free-rise batch block.

ARADUR® curing agents are supplied in liquid or solid form and can be used in conjunction with ARALDITE® epoxy resins to achieve a broad range of thermal, mechanical and electrical properties. This complete line of high-performance curing agents includes reactive polyamides, polyamido amines, aliphatic amines, cycloaliphatic amines, aromatic amines, anhydrides and novolacs.
