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.

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.

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.

JEFFSOL® Carbonates act as solvents for many organic and inorganic materials in applications such as surface cleaners, degreasers, dyes, fibers, plastics, batteries, aromatic hydrocarbons and natural gas.

Thinner than a human hair and up to 25 times stronger than the specific strength of steel, MIRALON® carbon nanotube materials are lightweight and electrically and thermally conductive – attributes that can benefit a wide variety of applications in aerospace, automotive, construction and other industries. For example, MIRALON® carbon nanotube materials are being developed for use in Lithium-Ion batteries, high-performance concrete, and longer-lasting tires. This lightweight, yet strong, material is offered in multiple product forms including sheets, yarns, tapes, or additives and dispersions. Even a small amount of this versatile product, can add significant performance enhancements to end-use 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 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.

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.
