Cardolite leverages CNSL’s inherent fast reactivity to allow foam formulators to reduce the use of expensive additives such as blowing agents and gelling catalysts.
Cardolite CNSL-based polyols resist moisture uptake, helping maintain smooth processing, consistent foam structure, and long-term performance even in moisture-rich environments.
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.
CNSL-based polyols and diols reduce unwanted noise and vibration through the natural flexibility of cardanol’s long aliphatic chain. Many foam applications can use this benefit for a quieter, smoother, and more comfortable experience for end users.
Achieve strong, light foams with high compressive strength and low density using Cardolite CNSL-based polyols and diols for high performance applications.
Engineered for versatility, Cardolite’s polyols and diols are compatible with industry-standard foam raw materials, including polyether polyols, Mannich polyols, and commercial blowing agents.
