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.

Huntsman’s large and growing family of unique JEFFCAT® catalysts brings strength, power, and speed to a wide range of urethane applications. The widespread use of these catalysts in making polyether and polyester foams, coatings, elastomers, and high-modulus urethane plastics attests to the value of our advanced technologies and our 50-plus years of experience with urethane chemicals.

VERSAMID® polyamide resins have proven to be superior curing agents in many applications, such as industrial maintenance and marine coatings, high-performance architectural paints, high-solids, and conventional coatings.
