INTRODUCTION:
Cardanol is abstracted and purified from natural Cashew Shell oil (CNSL). It is a naturalrenewable and excellent raw material to produce Phenolic resin and Epoxyhardener because it can replace or partially replace Phenol.
Cardanol isalso applied in epoxy resins and substitute many Phenols to synthesize newmaterials such as Surfactants, High performance Phenolic resins etc., due toits unique molecular structure. Cardanolhas the reactivity as the oil with Phenol as it is a kind of single hydroxyl phenolwhich has long hydrocarbon chain that contains hydrogen. When compared withPetroleum/Synthetic Phenol, Cardanol has high performance and are veryenvironmental-friendly due to its lower price.
APPLICATIONS:
Cardanol iswidely used in the following fields:
1. Liquid or pulverous thermoset Phenolic resin: improve the flexibility andwater resistance of common Phenolic resin, high-performancelaminated board.
2. Epoxy resin hardener, Epoxy resin ameliorant;
3. Liquidphenol: Epoxy resin adhesive, Epoxy resin anti-corrosion coating;
4. Cardanolfriction material such as Brake Shoe pads & Clutch facings.
5. Substitute Tung oil (China wood oil) widely applied in fields of coatings,Copper clad Laminates (CCL), Paper-based Laminates,Printing inks, etc.
6. Light-colored Cardanol is suitable for surface coating & Paints.
7. Foundry resins
8. Insulating Varnishes.
FAQs:
