ARA DEFEND® Resin Systems are engineered to improve damage tolerance and multi-hit performance, while delivering superior durability and performance at higher temperatures, resulting in extended armor life cycle and protection. ARA DEFEND® Resin Systems offer longer working times for better infusion of larger composite panels and they’re designed to cure at relatively low temperatures allowing for easier processing and flexibility in large-scale production, while delivering state-of-the-art product and manufacturing performance. Huntsman Advanced Materials ARA DEFEND® products are export restricted by the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. § 2751, et seq.) or the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (50 U.S.C. § 4801, et seq.), and are subject to export control licensing requirements and cannot be exported outside the U.S. without obtaining prior U.S. government authorization. Violations of these export laws are subject to severe criminal penalties.

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.

The ARATHANE® brand represents high performance epoxy and polyurethane systems for use in encapsulation and insulation applications for electronic components, the impregnation of electro composites, and as an adhesive in other markets.

AVALON® TPU grades enable casual, sport, leisure, and professional footwear manufacturers to develop tough yet comfortable shoes in a variety of designs and colors. Also used as molded parts for industrial, transportation and consumer goods applications.

Huntsman supplies a range of fully water-blown polyurethane systems based on both polyester and polyether technology. Polyester systems are characterized by superior strength and abrasion resistance whereas those based on polyether have an inherent resistance to hydrolysis and microbial attack – making them ideal for many midsole applications as well as unit soles and sockliners.

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.

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.

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.

Thinner than a human hair and up to 25 times stronger than the specific strength of steel, MIRALON® carbon nanotube materials are lightweight and electrically and thermally conductive – attributes that can benefit a wide variety of applications in aerospace, automotive, construction and other industries. For example, MIRALON® carbon nanotube materials are being developed for use in Lithium-Ion batteries, high-performance concrete, and longer-lasting tires. This lightweight, yet strong, material is offered in multiple product forms including sheets, yarns, tapes, or additives and dispersions. Even a small amount of this versatile product, can add significant performance enhancements to end-use applications.

TACTIX® specialty epoxy resins are designed for special applications. Our TACTIX® product range is typically based on bisphenol-A, tri(hydroxphenyl) methane and dicyclopentadiene.
