ARA® XTREME resins are very low-viscosity, high-functionality and high-purity, amine-based resins with relatively good storage stability. They cure very rapidly to produce products having exceptionally high-heat deflection temperatures and high crosslinking density.

CAPCURE® mercaptan curing agents are notable for their hardness development and rapid cure speed, along with an extensive range of properties. These mercaptan curing agents deliver an exceptional bond strength to glass, concrete, metal, and wood. In addition, they are ideal for many consumer adhesives and industrial products and are frequently utilized to accelerate a variety of epoxy curing agents as well as amines, polyamides, and amidoamines.

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.

Our high-performance EPIBOND® adhesives for aerospace and automotive applications provide superior joining and bonding solutions for plastics, metals, composite materials and other substrates. EPIBOND® adhesives offer productivity and manufacturing process improvements, as well as reductions in weight over other fastening methods. Additionally, manufacturers can select adhesives that are flame retardant, resistant to fatigue, chemicals and temperatures, and with mechanical properties that vary from rigid to flexible and offer long-term durability. Our products are specified in numerous OEM applications ranging from interior parts such as seats, lavatories, overhead bins, galleys and monuments to exterior parts such as nacelles, landing gear doors and control surfaces.

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.

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.

GABEPRO™ mercaptan-based epoxy curing agents are notable for their hardness development and rapid cure speed, along with an extensive range of properties. These mercaptan curing agents deliver an exceptional bond strength to glass, concrete, metal, and wood. In addition, they are ideal for many consumer adhesives, protective coatings and industrial products. They are frequently utilized to accelerate a variety of epoxy curing agents as well as amines, polyamides, and amidoamines.

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.

JEFFAMINE® range offers the world’s most extensive selection of polyetheramines, many of which are unavailable elsewhere. These highly versatile products contain primary amino groups attached to the end of a polyether backbone normally based on propylene oxide (PO), ethylene oxide (EO), or a mixture of both oxides.

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.
