Applications & Uses

Product Application
  • Kane Ace® MX-120 is suitable for use in the production of composites from prepregs, filament winding, pultrusion, and resin transfer molding. Other applications include coatings, adhesives, copper-clad laminates and electrical castings.
  • The resulting composite, adhesive or coating exhibits improved adhesion, facture toughness, lap shear strength, and durability without sacrificing glass transition temperature or other thermal properties related to the cross-link density. Kane Ace® MX-120 product is also free of ionic and organic contaminants.
  • Curing Agents: Kane Ace® MX-120 is compatible with typical cold, warm and hot curing agents for coatings, adhesives and composites.
