“When I’m free diving, I feel completely in my element – fully alive and present in the moment. There's no planning or dwelling on the past, just a pure sense of freedom. That's why I love it,” says Stephan COSTANTINO, Technology Manager for Huntsman Advanced Materials, based in Basel, Switzerland. “Mastering my body and maintaining control is exhilarating, and it’s something I continually strive for, whether I’m diving, running, or cycling. Free diving in the sea or competing in a triathlon requires immense discipline and practice but the benefits extend far beyond sports. It enhances my professional life by helping me think more clearly and allows me to find innovative solutions to complex challenges?– often when I’m out running or cycling. “My journey to where I am today started with my early passion for cycling and a fascination with the carbon fiber and epoxy materials used in sports. That curiosity led me to study material engineering and ultimately brought me to my current role at Huntsman. “Now, I lead the application and testing lab in Basel, where we assess the mechanical performance of adhesives, composites, casting, encapsulation, and other materials. We aim to ensure clients get the best results from Huntsman’s products. “For me, everything is interconnected – finding the right balance between family life, work, and sports is essential, and I prioritize it in all aspects of my life.” #WeAreHuntsman

In recognition of International Adhesive & Sealant Day on September 29th, we’re revisiting all the ways #adhesives help you elevate your product designs and improve assembly operations.?Every day, our society relies on adhesives for countless essentials—from home and office products to the vehicles we drive, and the mobile devices we use. Most industrial products are comprised of components which need to be fixed together in some way. Mechanical fasteners such as screws, rivets or spot welds are frequently used, but engineers are increasingly choosing to use adhesive bonding for its many benefits. Advantages of adhesive bonding include: ·??????Distribution of loads over wider surface areas ·??????Weight reduction of the finished product ·??????Eliminating or minimizing corrosion ·??????Dampening vibration ·??????Eliminating joint fatigue ·??????Aesthetic improvement for complex designs ·??????Electrical insulation ·??????Boosting impact resistance ·??????Joining of dissimilar materials For over 50 years, #Huntsman has been a pioneer in high-performance adhesive technologies. With a robust portfolio of epoxy, polyurethane and acrylate technologies, our experts are ready to help you tackle your toughest bonding challenges.

The power is on! Our ARALDITE? prefilled CW/HW5879 epoxy resin casting system was successfully applied in a 69kV/10300kVA dry-type transformer for a deep-sea wind power platform, which will soon be operational in China's coastal region of Shandong.?This platform will offer the highest voltage class offshore wind power in the country. Building an offshore wind farm is challenging as it continually faces extreme weather such as high humidity, persistent salt mist, strong waves, etc., and these conditions become harsher the further offshore you go. With excellent water resistance to withstand humidity, good chemical stability to resist corrosion, and remarkable crack resistance, our ARALDITE?CW/HW5879 epoxy resin system helps ensure long-term reliability to keep the power on in China. #ARALDITE #offshorewindpower

Scott Wright, Division President of Huntsman Advanced Materials, was honored to share his insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the aerospace manufacturing industry at the 2024 Aerospace Summit hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Joined by Hadrian Founder and CEO Chris Power and moderated by Jenness Simler, the panel discussed how innovation in both material science and automated manufacturing are paving the way for increased efficiency and sustainability in aviation. #AerospaceSummit2024 #Huntsman?

“I enjoy everything about baking - using my hands to mix the flour, water, salt and starter for making sourdough,” said Claudio de Sá Martins, Site Manufacturing Manager in Tabo?o da?Serra – located in S?o Paulo, Brazil. “I even enjoy the different steps in the process, such as folding and shaping the bread dough, and the bulk fermentation. Baking requires your focus all the time, so it’s a great activity for people with anxiety issues. And after baking, you get rewarded with the wonderful aromas of freshly baked bread, not to mention the taste. It is priceless.” During the Covid pandemic, Claudio teamed up with a group of other bakers to produce bread for those in need. He is particularly proud of one instance when he baked 47 loaves of banana bread in just two days. When he’s not busy in the kitchen, Claudio manages site operations for the manufacturing of Advanced Materials’ products sold into the Aerospace, Power, and Coatings markets. "I often compare our work at the site to what happens in the kitchen," Claudio explained. "Just like baking, if you don't follow the correct procedures and measure ingredients accurately, you might end up with poorly or over-fermented bread. The same principle applies in chemical manufacturing. It's essential to adhere to the precise recipe for a material and pay close attention to processes, including wearing the proper personal protective equipment (PPE). If you've ever tried to take bread out of the oven with your bare hands, you'd quickly realize that 450°F (230°C) is very hot!" Claudio explained that every time a new product is introduced at the site, it undergoes extensive process safety studies, followed by testing in the pilot plant, before finally being moved to the main production area. "Safely producing a high-quality product, whether it’s at a manufacturing site or in the kitchen, brings a tremendous sense of pride and accomplishment," Claudio remarked. #WeAreHuntsman #Huntsman
