Maverick Corporation MVK-10
- Chemical Family
- Polyimides (PI)
Maverick Corporation MVK-10 is a high‐temperature thermosetting polyimide resin with service capability up to288°C. Its low melt viscosity (300‐600 cP at 260°C) makes MVK‐10 one of a small number ofpolyimides suitable for use in resin transfer molding (RTM) processes. MVK‐10 compositesproduced produced by RTM exhibit exhibit no voids or microcracking microcracking.Originally developed by Maverick to replace PMR‐15 and its highly toxic diamine 4,4’‐methylenedianiline (MDA), MVK‐10 contains no mutagenic or carcinogenic components. Although it is most suited for RTM processing, its chemistry also allows for the use of autoclaveprocessing or compression molding. MVK‐10 is available as a PMR‐type resin solution or as apre‐imidized imidized powder from Maverick Maverick Corporation. Corporation.
