The ACOUSTIFLEX® family of formulated polyurethane systems is developed to deliver lightweight acoustic insulation and absorption in transportation-related acoustic applications. ACOUSTIFLEX® systems can provide benefits including a range of functionalities with regard to transmission loss, acoustic absorption or dynamic noise vibration damping, good thermal insulation performance, and compliance with the low emission standards for most OEMs. These systems may be used in a range of acoustic applications including flexible high-resiliency and viscoelastic foam carpet underlay, dash insulators and stuffer pads, as well as semi-rigid foam, wheelhouse, transmission tunnel and pillar cavity fill insulators and elastomeric, heavy layer noise barriers. ACOUSTIFLEX® systems offer robust processing windows for various manufacturing methods such as open- and closed-pour (injection), high-pressure, cold-cure molding, and free-rise batch block.

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.

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.

Our DALTOPIR® fire-rated PIR insulation system has been optimized to meet stringent international fire safety requirements and satisfy the needs of composite panel producers worldwide. Panels based on our DALTOPIR® Insulation technology offer long-term durability and product quality.

Our DALTOPIR® range includes circular content across the portfolio.

DALTOPUR® polyurethane PUR insulation technology is developed to improve the manufacture and performance of composite sandwich panels offering systems across a variety of fire-ratings as well as systems with circular content.

With a reaction profile optimized to allow easy foam processing, our DALTOPUR® foam technology can give panel producers the flexibility to quickly and efficiently manufacture different panel types.

DALTOPUR® foam technology can deliver the required bottom adhesion and long-term durability required, without the use of a primer. Lambda values can be further improved through the choice of specific blowing agents.

EPOCAST® high-performance epoxy edge and void fillers are designed for reinforcing honeycomb composite panels in aircraft floors, galley walls, overhead bins, bulkheads and more. These products are available in self-extinguishing or flame-retardant versions to meet FAA regulations. EPOCAST® void fillers are produced in a range of densities to meet a variety of performance and handling requirements. Many of our edge sealing materials feature easy-to-apply viscosities, as well as sag-resistance properties for use on vertical surfaces. EPOCAST® laminating systems are designed for use in the manufacturing and repair of composite radomes, fairings, flight control surfaces, and cargo/cabin panels. These systems offer excellent mechanical strength and many are flame-retardant.

The SHOKLESS™ family of formulated polyurethane systems is developed to provide lightweight, thermal, structural and vibration protection in transport-related applications. SHOKLESS™ products are developed for use in the potting and fixation of cells or packs mounted in electric vehicle batteries and for NVH applications targeting vibration dampening devices and components. The SHOKLESS™ range includes a broad spectrum of density options for tunable performance. All products have very good physical and mechanical properties and can offer excellent compression and tensile stress performance across a wide temperature range. Other features and benefits typically include low viscosity for efficient application, broad processing windows for flexible handling, and fast cure at low temperatures. SHOKLESS™ systems are generally compatible with a range of different manufacturing methods such as open- and closed-pour (injection) and cold-cure molding.
