Huntsman Advanced Materials' significant contribution to the development of innovative materials technologies and rapid tooling
solutions for the manufacturing industry has, over the past two years been recognised worldwide with the receipt of several
prestigious awards.
These include the:
- Frost & Sullivan Award for Performance Materials Technology of the Year 2005,
- 2006 JEC Composites Innovation Award in the Aeronautics and Space Category,
- China Composites Expo Award for the best FRP/ Composite application.
The pioneering development work undertaken by Huntsman Advanced Materials is continuing to bring ever more
efficient rapid tooling and production solutions to the world's manufacturing
industries. The impact of this new technology has delivered not only critical
production time and cost benefits but has also had important strategic implications
for global industries by opening up new markets and helping to achieve real market
share growth within these.
This intense programme of customercentric product and technology
development has seen the usage of synthetic tooling materials, industrial adhesives and
epoxy composites move into completely new applications.
Today, Huntsman Advanced Materials is a leading supplier in epoxy and other
thermoset specialties for composites, rapid tooling solutions and industrial adhesives.
These comprehensive product ranges are used throughout the world's manufacturing
industries but particularly in the automotive, aerospace, marine, wind energy, consumer
electronics and medical sectors. Huntsman Advanced Materials offers a comprehensive range of rapid tooling
materials and technologies including:
• Stereolithography materials
• Seamless modelling paste
• Modelling and styling boards
• Tooling boards
• Prototyping materials
• Gelcoats
• Laminating systems
• Casting systems
• Resin infusion
Some of the most radical developments in recent years have been in rapid prototyping
and production technologies such as the first ABS-like stereolithography materials;
new low density tooling boards, lighter and easier to handle while still retaining high
temperature resistance and Huntsman's unique Cliffhanger Casting System for the
simultaneous production of multiple large automotive parts.
Rapid tooling technology and prototyping materials will continue to see groundbreaking
innovations, driven by the needs of the world's manufacturing industries.
Huntsman Advanced Materials has an ongoing commitment to delivering true
innovation in this field and to providing real product and service benefits to their
