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.

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.

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.

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.

PROBIMER® laser direct imaging materials are designed for electronic applications. They provide unique, proprietary binder technology that has been optimized for advanced photo speed, high-resolution and high image accuracy for the production of High-Density Interconnect (HDI) fine-pitch BGA boards. They offer high-registration accuracy and tight clearance in LDI processing.

TECNOTHANE® is an advanced portfolio of polyurethane-based, hot-cast, engineering elastomers, which includes a full range of polyols and chain extenders. Over the years we’ve blended these raw materials together in different combinations - creating a suite of tried and tested elastomer formulations that we market as our MPC, MDE, MPT, SWP, WRP, V-TER product families.
