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.

The polyetheramine family has expanded to now include SURFONAMINE® materials specifically designed to meet market needs in pigment modification, as dispersant building blocks, and in polymer modification applications including nylon, polyolefins, and polysilicones.

TACTIX® specialty epoxy resins are designed for special applications. Our TACTIX® product range is typically based on bisphenol-A, tri(hydroxphenyl) methane and dicyclopentadiene.

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

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.

URALANE® polyurethane adhesives provide superior joining and bonding solutions for acrylics, plastics, and metals primarily used in aerospace interior assemblies. URALANE® adhesives are available in flame-retardant versions that meet stringent flammability requirements in aerospace applications and offer productivity and manufacturing process improvements, as well as reductions in weight over other fastening methods. Additionally, manufacturers can select adhesives resistant to fatigue, chemicals and temperatures, with mechanical properties that vary from rigid to flexible and offer long-term durability. Our products are specified in numerous 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.

VERSACURE® epoxy curing agents provide formulators with a versatile array of properties when used in a two-part system with an epoxy resin. Epoxies cured with VERSACURE® curing agents are very tough, have very good adhesion to a variety of substrates and have excellent chemical resistance. Because of this unique combination of properties, VERSACURE® cured epoxy systems are used in several different industries, such as protective coatings, adhesives, composites, electrical insulation, and tooling.

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.

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.
