Built for strength and flexibility, Cardolite materials provide an ideal balance of toughness and elasticity—minimizing the risk of deformation in dynamic or high-stress applications.
The inherent hydrophobicity of CNSL-based products enables excellent adhesion to wet surfaces and delivers outstanding water resistance during and after cure.
The long aliphatic side chain of cardanol provides flexibility and impact resistance—reducing the risk of cracking, chipping, or delamination in demanding environments.
Designed for durability, specialty CNSL-based products offer excellent chemical and thermal resistance to deliver anti-aging performance in even the most demanding environments.
Unwanted noise and vibration can be reduced by the natural flexibility of cardanol’s long aliphatic chain to create quieter and more durable composite parts.
Cardolite’s FormuLITE products are designed to simplify the composite production process. These systems are easy-to-use and save composite producers the upfront formulation time and effort.
