CNSL Surfactants

Average chemical structure of alkoxylated cardanol

Cardolite surfactants are derived from Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) technology, utilizing distilled cardanol to deliver a unique chemical structure ideal for balanced surfactant performance.

Our ethoxylated cardanol surfactants offer a sustainable alternative to traditional nonyl phenol ethoxylates (NPEs), alkyl phenol ethoxylates (APEs), and fatty alcohol ethoxylates. This materials provide a renewable, low-toxicity solution for home care, consumer goods, and industrial applications.

Key benefits:

– Low foaming for smoother processing
– Enhanced emulsion stability
– Low viscosity for easy handling

Cardanol surfactants are versatile and effective in a variety of applications.
