Cardolite’s phenalkamines provide very fast cure even at low temperature, and excellent corrosion protection even on immersed surfaces whereas Cardolite’s phenalkamides deliver good anticorrosion properties with longer pot life, better flexibility and UV resistance, and extended overcoat window.

Cardolite epoxy resins and diluents not only enable sustainable solutions, but also improve anti-corrosion properties, flexibility, adhesion and early water resistance. Our cardanol diluents also act as accelerators for epoxy-amine reactions and are an excellent replacement for nonyl phenol.

The hydrophobicity, excellent hydrolytic stability, and ease of handling of our polyols and diols deliver unique performance to foams, coatings, and adhesives and sealants. Proprietary, high purity cardanol is a non-toxic alternative to NCO blocking agents such as phenols, providing favorable deblocking conditions and excellent stability at room temperature.

Our CNSL-based intermediates can be used as building blocks for renewable polymers that address current environmental, health and performance requirements. The unique properties of the CNSL backbone will translate in excellent water resistance, adhesion properties, and bond strength.

CNSL friction particles and resins are used in OEM and aftermarket disc pad brakes, drum linings and train blocks to improve wear and fade, reduce noise, increase flexibility, and provide thermal stability.
