CNSL Benefits

Tailored reactivity


Cardolite leverages CNSL’s inherent fast reactivity to allow foam formulators to reduce the use of expensive additives such as blowing and gelling catalysts.

Water resistance


The inherent hydrophobicity of CNSL-based products enables excellent adhesion to wet and submerged surfaces while delivering outstanding water resistance after cure.

Fire and thermal resistance


The high aromatic content of CNSL-based polyols deliver excellent fire resistance – with lower burning rates, reduced flammability, and superior thermal stability compared to conventional polyether and petro-based Mannich polyols.

Vibration resistance


Our CNSL-based polyols and diols reduce unwanted noise and vibration through the natural flexibility of cardanol’s long aliphatic chain. Resulting in a quieter, smoother, and more comfortable experience for end users.

Compression strength


Achieve strong, light foams with Cardolite’s CNSL-based polyols and diols. Our technology provides great compression strength while maintaining low density—ideal for high-performance applications.

Compatibility


Engineered for versatility, our CNSL-based polyols and diols mix effortlessly with industry-standard components, including polyether polyols, Mannichs, and commercial blowing agents.
