Potting usually refers to a system in which there is a container around an encapsulated part. A casting has no container, but may be poured into a void, such as a mould, and then removed after complete curing. view less | |
| Coal Tar Epoxy | Huntsman Performance Products | Coal tar-modified epoxy coatings are frequently used to line water tanks and to coat bridges, decks, and pipelines. They offer corrosion protection from water, acids, alkalies, salts, and some solvents. | |
| Decorative Aggregate | Huntsman Performance Products | Decorative, or bonded, aggregate refers to composites made by mixing together gravel of various sizes and colours with an unpigmented epoxy system. The epoxy mix is blended with the rock at a 5 to 6 wt.% level and formed into various shapes or troweled in...view more Decorative, or bonded, aggregate refers to composites made by mixing together gravel of various sizes and colours with an unpigmented epoxy system. The epoxy mix is blended with the rock at a 5 to 6 wt.% level and formed into various shapes or troweled into place much like concrete. view less | |
| Decoupage Coating | Huntsman Performance Products | A popular application for epoxies is in decoupage-type coatings where objects such as wooden plaques, clocks, pictures and signs are coated with a high-gloss finish. | |
| High-Solids Epoxy | Huntsman Performance Products | Because of increasing concern for the environment and stricter governmental regulations, high-solids (i.e., low-solvent) coatings have gained importance.

By using the JEFFAMINE® products in combination with the polyamides, in effect as reactive diluents, the coatings formulator may reduce solvent levels and still maintain flexibility and other necessary coating properties. view less | |
| Non-Yellowing Varnish | Huntsman Performance Products | Clear coatings based on standard aromatic-based epoxy resins do not hold up well in sunlight. However, solventless coatings of low viscosity having improved U.V. light stability can be formulated from hydrogenated DGEBA type resins, which are nonaromatic. | |
| Organic Zinc Rich Primer | Huntsman Performance Products | Zinc primers, developed to protect structural steel, offer excellent corrosion resistance when used either as preconstruction primers or as top-coated primers. | |
| Polymer Concrete | Huntsman Performance Products | Polymer concretes are known for the improvements in strength, durability, and protection they offer over conventional portland cement concrete (PCC). Unlike polymer-modified PCC, which uses cement and water as a binder, polymer concrete uses an organic re...view more Polymer concretes are known for the improvements in strength, durability, and protection they offer over conventional portland cement concrete (PCC). Unlike polymer-modified PCC, which uses cement and water as a binder, polymer concrete uses an organic resin matrix as the "glue" to hold the aggregate together in place of the cementitous binder. view less | |

The term “advanced” composites is sometimes used to distinguish composites in which reinforcing fibers are continuous instead of chopped. Cured epoxy resins are used as matrix resins for advanced composites in a variety of applications. view less | |
| Reinforced Composites - Boats | Huntsman Performance Products | Quality boats - racing sailboats, kayaks, canoes - are ideal subjects for epoxy systems cured with JEFFAMINE® polyetheramines. | |
| Reinforced Composites - Boats - Accelerator 399 Adjustment | Huntsman Performance Products | The amount of the Accelerator 399 can be adjusted to obtain the desired pot life. Of course, for longest pot life, no accelerator is used at all, and the system below may be useful for fabrication techniques such as vacuum bagging where longer working tim...view more The amount of the Accelerator 399 can be adjusted to obtain the desired pot life. Of course, for longest pot life, no accelerator is used at all, and the system below may be useful for fabrication techniques such as vacuum bagging where longer working time is desirable. view less | |
| Reinforced Composites - Filament-Wound Tanks and Piping | Huntsman Performance Products | The attached formulation has been suggested by workers at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory for the manufacture of filament-wound objects, such as tanks. | |
| Reinforced Composites - Wind Turbine Blades | Huntsman Performance Products | Reinforced composites are ideal materials for replacing metals in the construction of blades that spin to propel aircrafts or generate electricity. | |
