I-BOND® resins from Huntsman are powerful, formaldehyde-free and fast-curing resins for the composite wood panel industry. They are used for bonding: Oriented Strand Board (OSB), Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), Particleboard (PB), and Wood Fiber Insulation Board (WFI). I-BOND® resins contain no added formaldehyde (NAF) and are considered "exempt" under the requirements of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) standards. Using I-BOND® resins classifies products as both CARB I and CARB II compliant. I-BOND® resins are also compliant with the European EPF-S standard, as well as the Japanese F**** (F 4 star) formaldehyde emission standard.

DALTOPUR® polyurethane PUR insulation technology is developed to improve the manufacture and performance of composite sandwich panels offering systems across a variety of fire-ratings as well as systems with circular content.

With a reaction profile optimized to allow easy foam processing, our DALTOPUR® foam technology can give panel producers the flexibility to quickly and efficiently manufacture different panel types.

DALTOPUR® foam technology can deliver the required bottom adhesion and long-term durability required, without the use of a primer. Lambda values can be further improved through the choice of specific blowing agents.

Our DALTOPIR® fire-rated PIR insulation system has been optimized to meet stringent international fire safety requirements and satisfy the needs of composite panel producers worldwide. Panels based on our DALTOPIR® Insulation technology offer long-term durability and product quality.

Our DALTOPIR® range includes circular content across the portfolio.

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.

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.

The ARALDITE® brand encompasses high-performance epoxy, acrylic, and polyurethane adhesives and high-performance specialty epoxy and benzoxazine resin systems. ARALDITE® adhesives cover a broad range of applications and offer both production and performance benefits to industrial, consumer and construction markets. ARALDITE® specialty thermoset resins are supplied in liquids or solids, and in a range of viscosities, functionalities and epoxy equivalent weights for a wide range of industrial applications, while ARALDITE® specialty epoxy resins are typically based on bisphenol-A, bisphenol-F, phenol novolacs, cresol novolacs, amino phenol, methylene dianiline, cycloaliphatics, and isocyanuric acid.

KRYSTALFLEX® TPU films are developed for safety glazing applications and are available in a variety of thicknesses and roll widths. These films are used in complex laminated glazing projects for aerospace, rail, military and bulletproof applications.

The TEROL® family of polyester polyols are a critical component in the production of MDI-based polyurethane insulation systems – the most effective insulants available in the market, as measured by R-value. Insulation products based on TEROL® polyols include polyisocyanurate (PIR), boardstock systems (PUR), spray polyurethane foam (SPF) and pour-in-place applications, including entry doors, garage doors, coolers, refrigerators and commercial freezers.
A proprietary process enables the use of waste PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles, that may have been destined for landfills or found their way into oceans, in the production of TEROL® polyols. Both pre-consumer and post-consumer sources of PET are used.
Advantages of TEROL® polyols:

• PET content / renewable resource content
• Improved fire properties from high aromatic content
• High functionality for improved physical property performance and fast de-mold times
• Specifically formulated for use with a wide range of blowing agents
