Closely aligned with market and customer requirements, the new products form part of a wider range of non-added formaldehyde fast-curing I-BOND<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>&nbsp;resins that Huntsman offers to enable the production of high quality, durable composite wood products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Developed to offer similar quality characteristics and performance capabilities to standard &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I-BOND<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>&nbsp;resins, while maximizing bio-based content, the new resins are capable to enable compatibility with existing manufacturing processes and can allow manufacturers to easily switch materials according to requirements. They can also help composite wood manufacturers meet panel specification requirements in terms of emission standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Explaining more, Bart Singul\u00e9, Sales Manager Composite Wood Products Europe, said: &#8220;At Huntsman we are always looking for innovative solutions that can help drive sustainability forward. With the launch of our bio-based resins for OSB and PB, we are helping panel producers maximize bio-based content in their boards \u2013 helping them to meet their sustainability ambitions without compromising the quality or performance of their products. These innovations are an essential step in helping the industry transition to more sustainable production methods and we look forward to discussing the benefits they can deliver.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typical properties of Huntsman\u2019s new bio-based resins include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A reduced carbon footprint: Integrating bio-based content, and with attributed mass-balanced MDI options available, the resins can help contribute to a lower carbon footprint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High performance: The resins can deliver the strength, durability, and moisture resistance needed for typical composite wood product applications in furniture and construction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aligned with emissions standards and containing non-added formaldehyde: The new resins can help create a safer, cleaner working environment for manufacturers and improve air quality for consumers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Versatile: The new products are suitable for a wide range of composite wood applications, including furniture, cabinetry, flooring, and interior panelling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Huntsman\u2019s theme will be \u2018Inspired by Nature, Breathing &amp; Building Quality\u2019, highlighting the team\u2019s focus on providing the market with innovative technologies to help drive a low carbon future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about products in the I-BOND<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0range, contact:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:polyurethanes_eu@huntsman.com\">polyurethanes_eu@huntsman.com<\/a>\u00a0or visit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/i-bond-wood.com\/\">www.ibondwood.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*<sub>Comparison with Huntsman incumbent technologies.
