Cardanol Building Blocks
The core of Cardolite
NX-202X Series Cardanol
Specialty chemical applications can benefit from Cardolite’s comprehensive selection of cardanol grades and derivatives. Sourced from cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL), cardanol is a renewable, non-food chain phenolic material with versatile reactivity for creating resins, surfactants, curing agents, and more. For decades, CNSL-based solutions have delivered proven performance in coatings, adhesives, composites, foams, and friction materials while offering a safer, bio-based alternative to petrochemical phenols.
Hydrogenated Cardanol
Next generation technology
Carolite’s advanced hydrogenation process expands the potential of CNSL chemistry, opening new paths for high-performance, sustainable chemistry.
These innovations deliver:
- Lighter color for broader formulation potential
- Enhanced hydrophobicity for improved moisture resistance
- Improved UV resistance for long-term durability
