Degumed cashew nut shell liquid
Cashew Nut Shell Liquid that we offer is a pericarp fluid of cashew nut shell. Our Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CSNL) consists of unsaturated phenolic compounds, anacardic acid (90%), and cardol (10%) with minor amounts of 2-methyl cardol… Cashew Nut Shell Liquid provided by us is widely used in various industries.
Degumed cashew nut shell liquid is a kind of CNSL product, Cashew nut shell oil is treated to remove impurities, metals, and residues, and distilled at high temperatures to obtain high-grade industrial fuel oil. Degumed CNSL is used for burn boilers, marine oil, industrial combustion stations to replace FO oil, and production plants that need clean oil fuel.
Applications:
Resins and Coatings:
CNSL is used to produce phenolic resins, which are employed in coatings, varnishes, and adhesives due to their excellent binding properties and resistance to heat and chemicals.
Friction Materials:
The oil is used in the manufacture of friction materials such as brake linings and clutch facings because of its ability to withstand high temperatures and provide consistent friction.
Polymer Additives:
CNSL is used as a plasticizer and modifier in polymer formulations, enhancing flexibility and durability.
Antioxidants and Stabilizers:
The phenolic content of CNSL makes it an effective antioxidant and stabilizer in various industrial applications, including lubricants and fuels.
Biocides:
Due to its natural antibacterial and antifungal properties, CNSL is used in biocidal formulations for agriculture and wood preservation.
Environmental and Economic Benefits:
Sustainable Resource: CNSL is derived from a renewable resource, contributing to sustainable industrial practices.
Waste Utilization: Using cashew nut shells for CNSL extraction helps in waste minimization and adds value to the cashew industry.
Biodegradability: CNSL and its derivatives are biodegradable, making them environmentally friendly alternatives to synthetic chemicals.
