Cashew Nut Shell Liquid Resin

It mainly consists of two naturally produced Phenolic Compounds i.e. Anacardic Acid and Cardol. Both of them are non-drying and cannot be dried up unless by chemical reaction.

CNSL Resin is a transparent viscous resin with golden color film. It is highly suitable for the surface coating application, where outstanding film properties and very high resistance to water and chemicals are required.

Therefore, CNSL Resin is used commonly as a paint raw material due to its high water and chemical resistant property.

Properties

CNSL Resin is the best modified Phenolic type. It offers the necessary traits of a straight phenolic nature without the oil bleeding and hence functions as a good binding agent.

The flexibility, thermal stability and impact resistance it provides, causes the decrease in the co-efficient of friction. It also combines the features of thermosetting and binding, especially used for Brake Lining.

Applications

Applications	Characteristics
Brake Lining	CNSL Formaldehyde (NOVOLAC) resins are used for brake liner binding preparation
Paint and coatings	Dark color enamels application Provide required gloss, flexibility as well as good mechanical strength, quick drying ability, Excellent resistance to water, acid, alkali Weather proof, heat and fire resistant An excellent anti corrosive protection Superior properties than those of conventional oils or synthetic resins The coating withstand alkalinity normally encountered with cathodically protected steel hulls
Primers for wood and metal	Red oxide metal primer, Zinc chromate primer, other primers Provides Resistance against water, acid, alkali and other chemicals Protects against Corrosion Improves gloss, increases flexibility and as well as hardness
Lacquer	Provides toughness and elasticity to the lacquer film To achieve an excellent gloss and superfine adhesive qualities Superior to those of ordinary oil paints in respect to resistance to oils, grease moisture and chemicals
Insulation Varnishes	To achieve excellent flexibility and resistance to other chemicals High gloss and adhesion properties High water repelling and low dielectric properties
Laminating industry Resins	Improves age hardening and better bonding to the substrate
Foundry core binders	Improves collapsibility of the core and enhances bench life and anti-damp behavior in comparison to conventional core binders
Friction resistant material	An excellent heat resistant material and as a partial substitute for phenolic resin to reduce cost
Rubber	Enhances the resistance of the product to aging, chemical attack and the action of solvents and acids
Polymer based cements	For good adhesion and resistance to moisture, acids and alkalis
Adhesives	Price advantage over conventional phenolic adhesives admirable properties to meet the growing demand for quality and durability in bonding plywood
Adhesive for wood particle	Resole type CNSL formaldehyde resin is used as adhesive in the preparation of composite wood, medium density particle board etc.
