Product catalog summary

Introduction
Huntsman Advanced Materials plays a significant role in the automotive industry by offering products that contribute to lightweight, strong, and flexible vehicle designs. Their product range includes SL photopolymers, machinable boards, rapid-setting polyurethanes, resin systems, and adhesives used from concept design to component assembly.

Product Overview

Tooling Boards: Polyurethane and epoxy boards like RenShape® BM 5066 and RenShape® BM 5050 are used for foundry tools, jigs, fixtures, and vacuum forming tools, noted for their density, hardness, compressive strength, and thermal expansion.
Board Bonding Adhesives: Products such as Araldite® AW 106 ensure strong and durable bonds for repairs with adhesive bonded inserts.
Net Size Casting: RenCast® products are suitable for creating metal-like parts with low viscosity and long pot life, offering varying compressive strengths and thermal properties.
Brake Bonding Adhesives: Araldite® adhesives provide high solid content and quick drying times for bonding brake components.
Structural Adhesives: Epoxy, polyurethane, and methacrylate adhesives like Araldite® 2010 and Araldite® 2021 are known for impact resistance, flexibility, and chemical resistance.

Advanced Materials

High Performance Building Blocks: Epoxy resins such as Araldite® MY 720 and toughening agents like Araldite® LT 1522 are used for formulating high-performance materials.
Expandable Epoxy Systems: Systems like Araldite® LY 1135-A are designed for high foaming and low emission applications.
Filament Winding Systems: Resin XB 3585 offers high toughness and low viscosity for creating strong, durable composites.
