Corporate principle Huntsman Advanced Materials offers user friendly products satisfying specific needs. Usually, experts visit sites and offer on-the-spot guidance regards selection and use of our products. We work in close association with the customers, for total solutions to their various requirements.

Separate technical information is available for each application. Our Technical Service Cell will be pleased to offer you more information on our various systems Market leadership Araldite epoxy systems offer a unique blend of properties which enables civil engineers to solve various problems for which conventional materials have proven inadequate. To illustrate, the losses due to corrosion in India are estimated at Rs 8000 crores every year. Araldite based Protective coatings help in controlling losses and hence are of considerable Importance.
