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.

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.

HYPOX® elastomer-modified epoxies enhance fracture toughness, low-temperature mechanical properties, impact/crack/chip resistance, peel strength and/or the flexibility of epoxy coatings, adhesives, sealants, and composites. HYPOX®️ RF and RM elastomer-modified, low-viscosity epoxy resins combine high-elastomer content with the convenience of handling epoxy resins.

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.

PHENOXY™ resins serve as performance-enhancing additives for epoxy systems and in select thermoplastic applications. They promote adhesion and improve performance in coatings for difficult-to-adhere-to substrates, such as glass and polished metals. They serve as a strengthening enhancer in carbon fiber composites, as well as promote flexibility and boost chemical resistance in industrial and transportation applications.

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.
