New Generation Adhesives Offer Strong Performance and Enhanced Worker Safety

For more than 80 years, ARALDITE ® adhesives have set the industry benchmark for reliability and performance, supporting a wide range of applications in transportation, marine, medical, wind energy, and industrial manufacturing. The products are widely used in the production and assembly of buses, trucks, rail vehicles, filtration systems, and more.

As global regulatory initiatives have changed, Huntsman’s Advanced Materials division has worked diligently to reformulate products to stay ahead of regulations and provide innovative solutions to our customers. The division recently launched a new reformulated range of ARALDITE® epoxy adhesives, which are free of Bisphenol A (BPA) and intentionally added substances classified as Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, or Reprotoxic (CMR), according to the European Union’s Classification, Labeling, and Packaging (CLP) regulation.

“At Huntsman, safety and sustainability are at the core of everything we do. As one of the first to lead the way in reformulating our range of epoxy adhesives, coatings, and resins, we’re proud not only to meet the evolving demands of global regulators and our customers but also to set the standard for innovation in safer, more responsible chemicals,” said Dr. David Hatrick, Vice President of Global Innovation & Strategic Marketing for Huntsman Advanced Materials.

With more companies prioritizing safety and environmental responsibility in their applications, demand for low-toxicity products is growing. The reformulated ARALDITE® epoxy products offer the highest safety for workers and operators, free of CMR labelling or components while maintaining the same reliable performance without the need for requalification.

As part of its broader sustainability strategy, Huntsman has also introduced a new Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastic cartridge, which will be incorporated into some products within the new range. This PCR-plastic cartridge helps reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 36% compared to similar cartridges made from virgin plastic materials.

“The launch of our next-generation ARALDITE ® epoxy adhesives underscores Huntsman’s commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable solutions that protect both people and the environment,” added Hatrick
