Their additives, pigments, and monomers exhibit good color stability, chemical resistance, thermal stability, low viscosity, and good resistance to aqueous, neutral, and alkaline solutions. Huntsman plays a key role in creating a more sustainable future by contributing to a low-carbon economy that helps make society’s goal of carbon neutrality a reality. The products offered by Huntsman include pigments like organic, inorganic, conductive, and special-effect pigments, additives like hardeners, crosslinking catalysts, flexibilizers, heat stabilizers, and epoxidized monomers.

Matrimid® 5218

Matrimid® 5218 by Huntsman is a soluble thermoplastic polyimide. Acts as a flexibilizer. It is based on a proprietary diamine, 5(6)-amino-1-(4' aminophenyl)-1,3,-trimethylindane. Matrimid® 5218 is fully imidized during manufacturing, eliminating the need for high temperature processing. It offers good thermal stability, high glass transition temperature and an excellent adhesion on various substrates such as engineering plastics. Possesses an excellent chemical resistance to water, steam, brine, acids, caustic and non-polar organic solvents, unlike other polyimides. It is soluble in a variety of common solvents (i.e. CH2Cl2, CHCl3, THF, DMAC, DMF, NMP). Matrimid® 5218 has compatibility with epoxies and other chemistries. Used in film casting.
