Technology & Products
Key Products
Huntsman offers a wide range of products across various industries, including industrial, automotive & transportation, and electrical & electronics. Their portfolio includes specialized polyurethane-based materials (IROPRINT®) for additive manufacturing (filaments, powders, resins) used in FDM, SLS, and SLA 3D printing, enabling high-performance, recyclable parts for industries like footwear and automotive.
Technological Advantage
Verified advantage: Materials enable 100% recyclability in 3D-printed soles (per OESH case study). Defensible through chemical formulations and trade secrets, though replicable by competitors with similar R&D.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Provides high-quality, recyclable polyurethane-based materials (e.g., TPU) that reduce production costs and lead times for 3D-printed components, with demonstrated 100% recyclability in footwear soles.
How They Differentiate
Offers specialized polyurethane-based materials (IROPRINT®) with recyclability features, unlike generic filaments from BASF or Covestro, and integrates directly with pellet-based 3D printing for cost efficiency.
