Precision CNSL Processing
Unmatched quality and consistency
Ultra LITE Series
Cardolite’s Ultra LITE family redefines what’s possible with cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL) technology. Historically, cardanol-based products were limited to applications that could tolerate the natural dark color of CNSL, but over the years Cardolite has continued to pursue and improve proprietary purification and processing methods to create lighter and more color-stable products. These products have opened the door to bringing the performance benefits of CNSL to applications and chemistries that were earlier not possible.
Cardolite continues to invest heavily in research and development to bring the unique properties of CNSL to a wide range of applications, especially those where color and purity have been past limiting factors.
