I-BOND® resins from Huntsman are powerful, formaldehyde-free and fast-curing resins for the composite wood panel industry. They are used for bonding: Oriented Strand Board (OSB), Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), Particleboard (PB), and Wood Fiber Insulation Board (WFI). I-BOND® resins contain no added formaldehyde (NAF) and are considered "exempt" under the requirements of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) standards. Using I-BOND® resins classifies products as both CARB I and CARB II compliant. I-BOND® resins are also compliant with the European EPF-S standard, as well as the Japanese F**** (F 4 star) formaldehyde emission standard.

RUBITRIM® formulated polyurethane systems are developed to deliver a soft touch and luxurious feel in transportation-related TRIM applications. RUBITRIM® systems can provide customers with benefits including: fast cure; good properties that meet a range of OEM specification requirements; low emissions; compatibility with PVC skins; excellent part-to-part reproducibility. RUBITRIM® systems may be used in trim applications including: semi-rigid backfoam for instrument and door panels; water-blown integral skin for steering wheels and armrests; rigid foams for crash pads and other protective applications; various elastomeric foams for flexible air filters, gaskets and seals; and rigid elastomers for molded body panels. RUBITRIM® systems offer robust processing windows for manufacturing methods such as open- and closed-pour (injection), high-pressure and cold-cure molding. Substrates that may be used with RUBITRIM® polyurethane systems include PVC, EPP, PUR and barrier-backed leather.

The VITROX® family of high-performance polyurethane resin systems can be used in demanding structural and semi-structural composite applications in Transportation including interior load floor components, suspension components, body structure components, powertrain/wheel components, and battery enclosures. VITROX® system benefits include adjustment of the pot-life to match individual processing conditions, coupled with the ability to offer faster curing cycles along with excellent mechanical properties. VITROX® polyurethane systems offer a robust processing window for a number of manufacturing methods such as resin transfer molding, spray honeycomb and filament winding. VITROX® resin provides a longer handling window, faster curing time and superior high-temperature resistance properties compared to existing technologies.

DALTOCAST® 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. Proven to perform, these standard elastomer products are easy to process and provide good chemical resistance and excellent mechanical characteristics. Often, these off-the-shelf solutions will satisfy our customers’ needs. But if not, don't worry. We can work together to make you something unique.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The TEROL® family of polyester polyols are a critical component in the production of MDI-based polyurethane insulation systems – the most effective insulants available in the market, as measured by R-value. Insulation products based on TEROL® polyols include polyisocyanurate (PIR), boardstock systems (PUR), spray polyurethane foam (SPF) and pour-in-place applications, including entry doors, garage doors, coolers, refrigerators and commercial freezers.
A proprietary process enables the use of waste PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles, that may have been destined for landfills or found their way into oceans, in the production of TEROL® polyols. Both pre-consumer and post-consumer sources of PET are used.
Advantages of TEROL® polyols:

• PET content / renewable resource content
• Improved fire properties from high aromatic content
• High functionality for improved physical property performance and fast de-mold times
• Specifically formulated for use with a wide range of blowing agents
