CNSL Surfactants
Cardolite’s ethoxylated cardanol surfactants offer a sustainable alternative to traditional nonyl phenol ethoxylates (NPEs), alkyl phenol ethoxylates (APEs), and fatty alcohol ethoxylates. These materials provide a renewable, low-toxicity solution for home care, consumer goods, and industrial applications.
Key Benefits:
- Low foaming for smoother processing
- Enhanced emulsion stability
- Low viscosity for easy handling
- Improve intercoat adhesion
- Good freeze-thaw stability
- Enhance pigment wetting
