Airable’s soy-based epoxy curing agent platform offers a high-performance, sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-derived hardeners. Spanning multiple core chemistries—including thiols, amines, anhydrides, and phenolics—this versatile platform delivers high bio-content without sacrificing industrial efficacy. Designed as a seamless solution for industrial and consumer formulations, these curing agents provide customizable performance across coatings, sealants, adhesives, and composites.
The Technology
This platform leverages functionalized soy feedstocks to synthesize a comprehensive suite of curing chemistries (including specialized ThioSoy, soy amines, anhydrides, and phenolic systems). Through advanced chemical engineering—such as condensation polymerization, esterification, and epoxidation—Airable alters the molecular structure to allow for a wide range of glass transition temperatures (Tg) and highly adaptable processing windows. The resulting curing agents exhibit drop-in compatibility with existing commercial epoxy systems, allowing manufacturers to adopt a greener profile without re-engineering their entire production lines.
Highlights
Technical Data
GREEN PRODUCTS CAPITALIZE ON A CRITICAL MARKET TREND
Growing sustainability concerns have prompted advocacy for stricter chemical regulations, and both evolving policy and consumer preference have stimulated market shifts toward bio-based raw materials. Soybeans have broad applications across both consumer and industrial spheres, often providing benefits in terms of cost, function, and sustainability.
