We are the leading global producer of polyetheramines since first developing the family of products over 50 years ago. The JEFFAMINE® products provide sophisticated performance characteristics, such as long working times for customized epoxy formulations. Polyetheramines are used in wind blade molding, construction and flooring, paints and coatings, fuels and lubricants, and polyurethane foams and insulations.
Huntsman offer the world's most extensive range of polyetheramines. Historically, this family of JEFFAMINE® products was developed as a range of monoamines, diamines and triamines attached to a polyether backbone typically based on ethylene oxide (EO), propylene oxide (PO) or a mix of such compounds. The JEFFAMINE® products typically impart increased flexibility, toughness, low viscosity and low color and continue to find major use in areas such epoxy and polyurea coating technologies.
Huntsman has grown the polyetheramine range to include new backbones, such as butylene oxide and polytramethylene glycol (PTMEG), which bring additional properties and increased utility across this family of highly versatile materials.
With these new developments, the polyetheramine family has expanded to now include SURFONAMINE® and ELASTAMINE® materials specifically designed to meet market needs in pigment modification, as dispersant building blocks and in polymer modification applications including nylon, polyolefins and polysilicones.
