Huntsman is a global manufacturer and marketer
of differentiated chemical products that improve
the quality of life for people around the world.
Following more than 30 acquisitions since 1970,
Huntsman Corporation today is a dynamic public
company with approximately 12,000 employees in
multiple locations worldwide. The Company had
2012 revenues of over $11 billion.
We see a sustainable future
Financially, environmentally and socially, sustainability is rapidly becoming a business
imperative. Our customers require it. Our investors expect it. Our communities demand it.
Our world deserves it.
As a leading global chemical producer, Huntsman clearly recognizes our responsibility to
develop and manufacture products that are sustainable and to do so in ways that make a
sustainable and vibrant world possible for future generations.
By driving innovation and growth, we create value for all our stakeholders today, constantly
mindful of our impact on tomorrow. Across the globe, we demonstrate our genuine and
lasting commitment to sustainability by developing efficient new products, perfecting
eco-friendly technologies and reducing our own carbon footprint.
For example:
• Vydro® polyurethane foam substrate, an efficient growing
medium on eco-friendly green roofs, weighs up to 70% less
than other substrate systems, retains up to 30 times its own
weight in water, helps improve urban air quality and reduces
stormwater runoff.
• As the demand for clean energy increases, manufacturers of
wind turbines look to Huntsman’s amines for their hardening
characteristics, which enable the production of longer
blades, resulting in greater generation of clean electricity.
• Huntsman’s resins are used in automotive fuel cells that
create electricity without combustion, making electric-powered
vehicles cleaner, quieter and more efficient than their
fuel-burning counterparts.
• Efficient dyes from our Textile Effects division enable textile
producers to manage their “water footprint” by dramatically
reducing cycle times and cutting process water and energy
consumption by 50%.
• Quality TiO2 pigments from Huntsman, designed for use in
light- and heat-reflective paints and coatings, help reduce
energy consumption and keep homes and buildings cooler
and more comfortable.
• Worldwide, Huntsman’s manufacturing plants are actively
managing energy consumption, minimizing waste and
reducing emissions. A participant in the U.S. Department
of Energy’s Save Energy Now program, Huntsman has
committed to reducing energy use 25% by 2020.

also help to increase the longevity of products and in some cases help to reduce energy
consumption, saving cost and associated CO2 emissions.
We have been manufacturing titanium dioxide pigments for more than 75 years and are
proud to serve a wide range of market sectors. Our experts have created global brands
that include TIOXIDE ® titanium dioxide pigment, award winning DELTIO® free-flow titanium
dioxide pigment and our very latest innovation, ALTIRIS® infrared reflecting pigment that
gives exterior coatings and polymers in almost any color the power to reflect solar energy.
Polyurethanes
Huntsman Polyurethanes is a global
leader in MDI-based polyurethanes,

formulation facilities which are located
close to our customers, worldwide.
Our MDI-based polyurethanes are used in an extensive range of applications and market sectors,
providing key benefits of energy efficiency, comfort and well-being.
Our insulation products conserve energy in housing and commercial properties, and play a critical
role in the food supply chain – keeping products at the right temperature in refrigerated vehicles,
chiller cabinets and refrigerators. We provide comfort and well-being in automotive seating, furniture,
bedding and footwear. Our adhesive products, coatings and elastomers are used extensively
throughout consumer and industrial applications.
The benefits our products provide mean that we can play an important role in addressing some of
the emerging global megatrends such as demographic challenges; energy management and the
