Huntsman is announcing the development of innovative polyurethane, carbon nanotube, and epoxy materials at The Battery Show this week, which are all designed to help improve the integration of batteries into electric vehicles and enhance their protection and performance.

Huntsman announces the launch of ACOUSTIFLEX VEF BIO system – a pioneering bio-based viscoelastic foam technology for moulded acoustic applications in the automotive industry that contains up to 20% bio-based content, derived from vegetable oils.

Huntsman has outlined details of a new range of additive manufacturing materials that it has developed, which are set to address emerging needs in the 3D printing industry. Huntsman’s IROPRINT additive manufacturing platform contains three different kinds of urethane-based materials (resins, powders and filaments).

Two thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) grades from Huntsman are helping to ensure that vehicle components arrive at their destination damage free and clean – and saving original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and car makers significant amounts of time and money.   PolyFlex Products (PFP), a US-based manufacturer of specialist dunnage, is using two of Huntsman’s abrasion resistant IROGRAN and AVALON TPU grades to boost the performan...

A polyurethane resin system, which cures quickly and allows the production of high heat stable modelling, tooling and rapid prototyping boards, has been introduced by Huntsman. The VITROX EST system is suitable for the aerospace, automotive, marine and shipbuilding sectors. 

For use in offshore, oil, gas and mining wire and cable applications, two UV protected grades of TPUs (Thermoplastic Polyurethanes) have been released by Huntsman. The IROGRAN TPU materials, which are polyether-based, are designed for encasing the cables of heavy-duty pieces of equipment. Such cables function in harsh, abrasive and outdoor environments, and are exposed to the elements.

Huntsman Advanced Materials announces the creation of two specialist Araldite adhesives for use in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags designed by TAGSYS - a global leader in the development of RFID systems
