ELASTAMINE® amines are a new and unique product range of specialty amines. Thermoplastic polymers such as polyamides (nylon), polyolefins, or polyester find use in a variety of applications, ranging from fibres to films or membranes, to engineering plastics. However, several characteristics such as flexibility, hydrophilicity, low temperature properties, and surface energy can be improved through modification with ELASTAMINE® amines.

JEFFAMINE® range offers the world’s most extensive selection of polyetheramines, many of which are unavailable elsewhere. These highly versatile products contain primary amino groups attached to the end of a polyether backbone normally based on propylene oxide (PO), ethylene oxide (EO), or a mixture of both oxides.

NYCHEM® specialty nitrile latexes impart performance characteristics like flexibility, chemical and abrasion resistance, toughness, temperature tolerance into such niche applications as gaskets, paper coatings, textile coatings, adhesives, coal tar/asphalt sealants, masking tape, and abrasion paper.

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.

IROGRAN® is a specialized, polyester-based thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) grade material used in extrusion and injection molding applications, including cable and wire, hoses and tubes, film and sheet, seals and other technical parts.

IROSTIC® polyurethane-based raw material is used to manufacture TPU adhesives. Available as a one- or two-component system, the range serves four core markets; solvent-based footwear adhesives; industrial specialty adhesives; non-reactive and reactive hot melt adhesives. IROSTIC® bonding solvent-based systems can be applied using manual brushes, rollers, and spatulas or mechanical spray and air guns. IROSTIC® non-reactive hot melt grades can also be applied as a powder or a film. Features include

• Very good heat resistance
• Good adhesion to various substrates
• Excellent green strength
• High tear and good hydrolysis resistance
• Low-temperature flexibility
• High peel strength
• Flexible one or two-component system
• Compatible with IRODUR® cross-linkers to improve the heat stability of a bond
• Soft, tough, elastic and lightweight
• Suitable for use in industrial autoclaves and smaller laminating ovens

Aliphatic-based KRYSTALGRAN® TPU film and sheet grades are a reliable and robust surface protection solution for applications where excellent durability, abrasion and scratch resistance, and strict outdoor UV protection is required. Suitable for use in a wide range of sectors, our KRYSTALGRAN® TPUs are commonly used in OEM and after-market automotive and aerospace paint protection projects.

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.
