MAKO prepregs and adhesives excel in the automotive industry due to their fast cure cycles, long shelf life, UV-resistance and durability. These properties make them ideal for automotive manufacturing and applications. MAKO OEM thermoset resins can cure in a matter of minutes, not hours, and can be formulated specifically for fast press cure cycles.
MAKO offers high-impact resistant resins with light weight, high stiffness reinforcements, including woven and multi-axial coated materials. Composite parts made with MAKO prepregs offer improved thermal stability, cosmetics, and toughness for rigorous motorsport applications.
The very latest in carbon fiber reinforcements including thin-ply, non-crimp and spreadtow fabrics from Textreme, Sakai Ovex, Saertex, and others are coated with proprietary MAKO resins for rapid cure cycles, reliability, and high toughness for race day.
MAKO resins excel in high temperature applications including composite brake ducts and engine covers. High Tg epoxy or BMI resins formulated by MAKO Labs are coated on carbon, fiberglass, and aramid reinforcements to meet your high temp requirements. MAKO resins also offer superior chemical resistance to fuels, oils, and other automotive fluids, ensuring long-term durability.
MAKO Labs formulated a unique lightweight, vibration damping film that co-cures with prepreg to extend the life of composite parts subject to cyclic stress, vibration and harshness. The VR Film can also reduce shrapnel after impact, reducing risk and cleanup on the track. In endurance racing, the MAKO Vibration Damping Film can reduce driver fatigue by incorporating between plys of carbon prepreg in composite seat shells, chassis, floor pan and steering wheel.
MAKO prepregs can enhance both performance and visual appeal of automotive and motorcycle body panels, aerodynamic structures, and engine components. Off-road fenders are made with carbon and kevlar prepregs for lightweight toughness. Infusion parts can be made with our low-viscosity resin from PTM&W, our affiliate in infusion processing.
MAKO resin formulators have partnered with the very best in low volume, bespoke sports car manufacturing. Often selling for millions of dollars each, these specialty vehicles demand the highest quality prepregs, including visually perfect woven carbon reinforcements paired with high Tg, low-shrinkage resin that is also cosmetically clear and stable in any environment.
MAKO prepregs and adhesives can be used in all locations on these specialty vehicles, including carbon fiber aero kits, light weight body panels, front and rear spoilers, and cosmetic interior carbon fiber trim pieces. Bulk ply carbon reinforcements can be used for structures and sub-assemblies to replace heavier metallic pieces.
MAKO Labs formulates a unique thermoset epoxy prepreg that cures in a matter of minutes, making high production rates possible today, with the very highest matrix properties for demanding applications.
Our formulations are used in the production of lightweight and high-strength body panels, chassis components, and suspension systems.
MAKO products contribute to the development of strong yet lightweight components, improving speed and handling.
MAKO resins are used as matrix materials in fiber-reinforced composites, providing high strength and stiffness to components like drive shafts, suspension parts, and crash structures. These composites offer significant weight savings while maintaining structural integrity.
The thermal stability of MAKO resins makes them suitable for engine components, intake manifolds, valve covers, and other under-the-hood parts that are exposed to high temperatures. These resins maintain their mechanical properties even at elevated temperatures, ensuring the reliability and performance of the engine.
The automotive industry needs MAKO formulas for their exceptional performance, efficiency, and durability. MAKO prepregs offer superior strength and impact resistance, ensuring reliable and safe components. Their lightweight nature significantly improves fuel efficiency and vehicle performance. With excellent thermal stability, MAKO formulas withstand high temperatures, making them perfect for engine and exhaust parts. They also resist chemicals like fuels and oils, guaranteeing long-term durability. Easy and fast to process, MAKO resins allow for the efficient production of complex parts and provide excellent adhesion for strong, durable bonds. Customizable formulations meet specific application needs, driving innovation and cost efficiency. Complying with stringent safety and environmental standards, MAKO materials are the ideal choice for advancing automotive technology. Choose MAKO for materials that boost vehicle performance, efficiency, and longevity.
At MAKO Advanced Materials, we make custom prepregs to meet military specifications, old and new. Collaborate with our experts to author a new material spec, or to create a composite material that can meet or exceed and an existing spec.
