Liquid Polymers

The material can be processed with conventional plastic industry equipment, such as injection molding and extrusion machinery. The typical end applications are those for which organic recyclability (compostable and anaerobic digestibility) is the intended end-of-life or for which it is challenging to avoid fragments ending up in the open environment. It is suitable for (food) packaging, organic waste management, agricultural, horticultural, and marine-related applications.

The sustainable innovation spirit of this material is indisputable. No matter where this material ends up, it will degrade into water, CO2, and biomass by the microorganisms available in nature. It allows producing innovative packaging, entirely in line with the circular economy, integrating the added value of compostability as end-of-life, and opens up new perspectives in waste management systems.

Kane Ace™ MX is Kaneka’s novel coreshell rubber (CSR) toughening system for thermo set resins. It is a predispersed CSR Masterbatch which enhances the physical properties of the resins through optimal dispersion of core-shell particles. The revolutionary liquid impact modifiers of Kane Ace™ MX achieve highly improved strength, improved fracture toughness and endurance without losing the heat resistant characteristics of thermoset resins. The liquid nature guarantees an easy handling and mixing into your system, which will save you time and reduces the production cost.

Kaneka has positioned four business domains to implement its research and business development strategy: Materials, Quality of Life, Health Care, and Nutrition. Within these domains, we further innovate our technologies, expand business models, and create new ones. We set the purpose of our research and business development activities from the perspective of markets and customers.
