Toughening Agents

Monomer bismaleimides, which are used for a wide variety of applications (crosslinkers, raw materials for the production of moulded parts, composite materials) are mostly brittle after thermal curing. To make these products more flexible, a toughening agent such as Homide 128 is added to the formulation. The product Homide 128 also contains functional double bonds which react chemically with normal bismaleimides.
