Huntsman to showcase lightweight solutions for aerospace at JEC World 2018

Combining leading chemistries and processes, the company will demonstrate its expertise for improving composite performance and development, to help businesses respond to the changing needs of both the automotive and aerospace industries.

Huntsman will demonstrate its commitment to the aerospace industry with its wide range of established solutions and processes. Collaborating with leading global companies for over six decades, Huntsman Advanced Materials has extensive experience in producing advanced, high-quality materials for the fabrication, assembly and repair of interior and exterior applications.

At JEC World 2018, the company will focus on lightweight interior aircraft components, including demonstrating how its Araldite chemistries have been used to create a commercially-available lightweight seat-back with inherent fire performance properties that can achieve a 20% weight saving. In addition to composites and adhesives, visitors to the booth can learn more about the company’s range of syntactics for robust sandwich structures with reduced weight. Huntsman will also co-sponsor the Aerospace Planet, where it will once again host its conference titled: Innovation and Trends in Aerospace on 7th March between 9.30am and 12.30pm.
