Robust materials built for long-lasting performance.

Cardolite’s high-performance materials are used in polyurethane and epoxy adhesive solutions to bond stronger, last longer, and protect valuable property inside and out, especially from the risks associated with exposure to water and damp environments.

CNSL Benefits

Fast cure speeds


The phenolic backbone of cardanol helps accelerate the chemical crosslinking process, even at low temperatures. Whether for ambient or force-cure applications, our solutions can improve efficiency and promote quick return to service.

Hydrophobicity


The inherent hydrophobicity of CNSL-based products enables excellent adhesion to wet surfaces and delivers outstanding water resistance during and after cure. This translates to strong hydrolytic stability, ensuring long-term bond integrity in moisture-rich environments.

Corrosion protection


Cardolite’s CNSL-based curing agents deliver outstanding corrosion protection in both atmospheric and immersed conditions. Their natural water resistance and strong surface adhesion help adhesives last longer.

Excellent adhesion


With over 40 years of experience developing solutions for challenging substrates, Cardolite’s CNSL-based products deliver strong adhesion, even on non-blasted, wet, or oil-contaminated surfaces.

Chemical and thermal shock resistance


Designed for durability, specialty CNSL-based products offer excellent chemical and thermal resistance to deliver anti-aging performance in even the most demanding environments.

Balanced mechanical properties


The long aliphatic side chain of cardanol helps provide toughness and flexibility to minimize the risk of cracking, chipping, or deformation in dynamic or high-stress applications.
