Specification :

Cashew phenol popularly know as Cardanol or Card-Phenol manufactured from cashew nut shell liquid ( CNSL) . It is a monohydroxyl phenol having a long hydrocarbon chain ( C15H27) in a metaposition. It is therefore widely used in the manufacture of surface coating, insulating varnishes, Epoxy and oil soluble resins, laminates, rubber and wax compounding, pesticides, Foundry, dyes etc.

BENEFITS
• A light pale Brown/ yellow liquid manufactured from Cashew Nut Shell Liquid
• Also know as cashew phenol
• The unique Molecular structure of Cardanol, especially unsaturation of long Hydrocarbon said chain, makes the cross linking easy on Polymerization
• Besides the side chain imparting hydrophobic nature to the polymer, its coating is water repellent and weather resistant.
• Cardanol based resins posses an outstanding resistance to softening action of mineral oil and high resistance to acids alkalies, antimicrobial property termite and insect resistance etc.
• Contributes to improved flexibility, good drying after banking, high electric insulation properties and thermal stability.
• Amenability to chemical modification to effect desirable changes so as to get specific properties for making tailor-made polymers of high value, thus the structural changes could be effected at the hydroxyl group, on the aromatic ring and on the side chain.
• These properties make Cardanol an effective substitute for the petroleum-based phenol.
