Features Of Kaneka Kane Ace MX-170 Epoxy Toughener

  1. Reactive liquid carboxyl-terminated acrylic elastomer designed for high-efficiency toughening of standard and advanced epoxy resins.

  2. Enables significant improvement in fracture toughness (KIC) and impact resistance without compromising glass transition temperature (Tg) or modulus.

  3. Excellent compatibility with diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA), novolac, and cycloaliphatic epoxies—minimizes phase separation risk.

  4. Low viscosity (< 5,000 cP at 25°C) ensures easy handling, homogeneous mixing, and reduced processing energy requirements.

  5. Provides superior adhesion to carbon fiber, glass fiber, and metal substrates in structural composite formulations.

Typical Applications Of Kaneka Kane Ace MX-170 Epoxy Toughener

  1. Aerospace-grade structural adhesives and matrix resins for carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) components.

  2. High-performance wind turbine blade bonding and infusion resins requiring fatigue-resistant interlaminar properties.

  3. Electronics encapsulants and underfills where thermal cycling reliability and crack propagation resistance are critical.

  4. Automotive under-hood composites and electric vehicle battery module adhesives demanding elevated Tg retention post-toughening.

  5. Precision tooling and mold-making compounds requiring dimensional stability and low shrinkage after cure.
