The Huntsman Advanced Materials Advantage: High Performance, Complex Chemistries

From epoxy curing agents, such as mercaptans and liquid polyamide resins, and Phenoxy resins, we safely deliver products that meet your exact specifications. Our team of innovative engineers are experts in a variety of industries and enjoy helping customers identify and enhance products that promote growth.

Resins

Huntsman Advanced Materials is the world-leading source of Phenoxy resins. We also provide a range of specialty epoxy resins and a customized mix of alkyds. Our high performance chemistries enhance the properties of coatings, adhesives, inks, composites, plastics, electronic components and more.

Phenoxy resins serve as performance-enhancing additives for epoxy systems and in select thermoplastic applications. They promote adhesion, improving performance in coatings for difficult to adhere to substrates, such as glass and polished metals. They serve as a strengthening enhancer in carbon fiber composites. They promote flexibility and boost chemical resistance in industrial and transportation applications.
Phenoxy Resins are distinguished by three distinctive characteristics, which combined provide unique characteristics for a wide range of compounds and applications:

  • Clear – haze values typically < 5
  • Tough – tensile strength 9000-9500 psi
  • Flexible – tensile elongation 50-100%

If you need to improve toughness, impact resistance, adhesion, or chemical resistance, Phenoxy can help!

Huntsman Advanced Materials’ product line, Phenoxy PK™ meets the needs of end markets, such as:

  • Industrial & Construction
  • Automotive
  • Civil Engineering
  • Protective Coatings
  • Consumer DIY
  • Composites
  • Films
  • And More

Polyamide Curing Agents are liquid polyamides that add versatility and provide a range of final, formulated properties. Huntsman Advanced Materials’ product line, Versamid® is the industry-leader in Polyamide Curing Agents. They have useful applications in industrial coatings, solvent-based maintenance coatings, primers, adhesives, joint sealants, and more. In addition to being low in toxicity with a unique combination of hardness and flexibility, Polyamide Curing Agents have a long pot life, promote strong adhesion, have low sensitivity to surface impurities, and offer short, tack-free times.

Amine Curing Agents are used in conjunction with amines, polyamides, amidoamines, mercaptans, polysulfides and anhydrides to accelerate epoxy curing. Amine Curing Agents are typically formulated on the hardener side and accelerate the epoxy-hardener reaction by opening the epoxy ring. Huntsman Advanced Materials’ product lines, Versamid® and Versacure™ (formerly RoyOxy™), help deliver starting formulations and application testing for amine curing agents to meet the needs of manufacturers that need help speeding up their curing process.
