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.

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.

ARA® Cool curing agents open new opportunities to formulate industrial coatings with very fast cure, even in cold conditions. The launch of the new ARA® Cool range enables Huntsman to meet demands for faster processing at low temperatures, as well as reduced VOC emissions. ARA® Cool products produce coatings with low blush, chemical resistance and excellent film aesthetics. These products can be formulated with a variety of Huntsman ARALDITE® resins.

Huntsman supplies a range of fully water-blown polyurethane systems based on both polyester and polyether technology. Polyester systems are characterized by superior strength and abrasion resistance whereas those based on polyether have an inherent resistance to hydrolysis and microbial attack – making them ideal for many midsole applications as well as unit soles and sockliners.

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.

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.

The POLYRESYST™ family of products comprises adhesive systems, polyurea systems and priming systems for multiple applications.

Huntsman’s building blocks and POLYRESYST™ coatings systems are developed to protect substrates used across numerous applications, industries an environment.

We provide a broad variety of options (Polyurethane, Polyurea or Hybrid systems) that can cover the physical properties you need. In combination with proper surface preparation, this can make them ideal for all kinds of materials and many applications.

The RIMLINE® family of formulated polyurethane resins is developed to deliver fast cycle times and lightweight solutions for transportation-related composite applications. RIMLINE® polyurethane systems can provide the following benefits: lightweight material; fast cure resulting in short cycle times; high toughness; high stiffness (i.e. high modulus). RIMLINE® polyurethane systems may be used in a wide range of composite applications including various interior components (e.g. load floors, sunshades), suspension components (e.g. leaf springs) as well as EV battery-related applications. RIMLINE® polyurethane systems offer a robust processing window for a number of manufacturing methods including: pultrusion; long fiber injection (LFI); spray honeycomb; low-and full-density structural reaction injection molding (SRIM); and filament winding.

The RUBIFLEX® family of formulated polyurethane systems is developed to deliver superior comfort and support in transportation-related seating applications. RUBIFLEX® polyurethane systems can provide one or more of the following benefits: high elasticity for excellent vibration transmissibility performance; superior comfort properties; very good durability properties; fit-for-use in thin seat profiles; low emissions; bio-content. RUBIFLEX® polyurethane systems may be used to produce a wide range of seating applications including high resiliency, flexible foam seat pads and semi-flexible foam head restraints, armrests and center consoles. RUBIFLEX® polyurethane systems offer a robust processing window for a number of manufacturing methods such as cut-and-sew, foam-in-place and cold-cure molding. Substrates that may be used with RUBIFLEX® polyurethane systems include PVC, EPP, PUR and barrier-backed leather. RUBIFLEX® systems can also be used in furniture and bedding applications.

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.

ULTRAPURE® carbonates are high-purity solvents for electrolytes that are critical to the reliable operation of lithium-ion batteries and long working life for electronics and electric vehicles. We are the only producer and largest supplier of propylene carbonate and ethylene carbonate in North America.

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.
