ARA® Cool curing agents open new opportunities to formulate industrial coatings with very fast cure, even in cold conditions. The launch of the new ARA® Cool range enables Huntsman to meet demands for faster processing at low temperatures, as well as reduced VOC emissions. ARA® Cool products produce coatings with low blush, chemical resistance and excellent film aesthetics. These products can be formulated with a variety of Huntsman ARALDITE® resins.

The POLYRESYST™ family of products comprises adhesive systems, polyurea systems and priming systems for multiple applications.

Huntsman’s building blocks and POLYRESYST™ coatings systems are developed to protect substrates used across numerous applications, industries an environment.

We provide a broad variety of options (Polyurethane, Polyurea or Hybrid systems) that can cover the physical properties you need. In combination with proper surface preparation, this can make them ideal for all kinds of materials and many applications.

• 3K mortars - for improved compatibility
• Binders - for durable recycling

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.

EPALLOY® specialty epoxy resins deliver improved performance in high-performance maintenance and marine coatings, adhesives, encapsulants and composites. These specialty epoxy resins provide better chemical resistance, thermal performance, modulus, cure speed and UV resistance than standard liquid epoxy resins.

ERISYS® epoxy functional reactive modifiers enhance performance, reduce viscosity, and improve handling and processing of epoxy formulations. Their benefits include enhanced flexibility and toughness, while maintaining chemical resistance and UV stability. Some of the products are high in bio-renewal content.

GABEPRO™ mercaptan-based epoxy curing agents are notable for their hardness development and rapid cure speed, along with an extensive range of properties. These mercaptan curing agents deliver an exceptional bond strength to glass, concrete, metal, and wood. In addition, they are ideal for many consumer adhesives, protective coatings and industrial products. They are frequently utilized to accelerate a variety of epoxy curing agents as well as amines, polyamides, and amidoamines.

HYPRO® Reactive Liquid Polymer is a low molecular weight synthetic rubber with chemical functionality. These reactive additives incorporate rubber properties into epoxies, acrylates, vinyl esters and polyesters. They improve the toughness and low-temperature properties in coatings, adhesives, sealants and composites. HYPRO® reactive liquid polymers are butadiene homo-polymers and butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymers with terminal functionality.

MDI (methylene diphenyl diisocyanate) is one of the basic components used to make polyurethane foam. Polyurethane foam is made by reacting an isocyanate (MDI) with a polyol. Huntsman sells many differentiated grades of MDI in the Americas under the RUBINATE® name, and in Europe and Asia under the SUPRASEC® name.
