Nomenclature
Resins

Curing Agents

Huntsman Advanced Materials registered trademark for

commercial resins is Araldite.
Examples: Araldite PY 302-2 CH and EPN 1180 X 80 CH.

Huntsman Advanced Materials registered trademark for

commercial hardeners is Aradur.
Ex: Aradur 3467 XW 70 BD and Aradur 450 S BD.

The two-letter code following the registered trademark has the

following meaning:

In case of hardeners the characteristic number for the product

name follows directly after the registered trademark.
Ex.: Aradur 3467 XW 70 BD

special resin for civil engineering applications

modification product
(reactive diluent, flexibilizer, matting agent, etc.)

standard resin

special resin

EPN Epoxy Phenol Novolac

ECN Epoxy Cresol Novolac

indicating only
}(exceptions
the type of resin chemistry)

Second letter indicates the supply form.

Ex.: Araldite PY 302-2 CH
T

solid product

liquid product

resin in solution,
emulsion or dispersion form

The number following this letter code is the characteristic for the
product name. Ex.: Araldite PY 302-2 CH.
In case of minor product changes, we indicate the actual
version by a figure separated from the product number by a
dash. Ex.: Araldite PY 302-2 CH.
In case of resin solutions a one up to three-letter code behind
the characteristic product number indicates a solvent (or solvent
mixture). Ex.: EPN 1180 X 80 CH.
This solvent code is followed by a number indicating the solid
content of the product (in the example above its 80% resin
dissolved in xylene).
The last two letters indicate the country of origin, in these two
cases CH for Switzerland. Ex.: EPN 1180 X 80 CH.
These appendices are in use on packaging, transport and
invoicing documents but not within this selector guide.

A one up to three-letter code behind the characteristic product

number indicates a solvent (mixture).
Ex.: Aradur 3467 XW 70 BD
This solvent code is followed by a number indicating the solid
content of the product (in the example above its 70% hardener
dissolved in a xylene / butanol mixture).
Ex.: Aradur 3467 XW 70 BD
The final letter code again indicates the country of origin; in this
case Germany.
Ex.: Aradur 3467 XW 70 BD

EUROPE / MIDDLE EAST / AFRICA

A one-letter code (S or T) behind the characteristic product

number (without additional solid content number) indicates a
special behaviour of the hardener. S shows that the hardener
is the fast version of an existing product, whereas T has
the meaning tropical indicating a long pot life at higher
temperatures.
