Cardanoil oil

Property: A light pale Brown/yellow liquid manufactured from Cashew Nut Shell Liquid Also know as cashew phenol The unique molecular structure of Cardanol, especially unsaturation of long Hydrocarbon said chain, makes the cross linking easy on Polymerization Besides the side chain imparting hydrophobic nature to the polymer, its coating is water repellent and weather resistant. Cardanol based resins posses an outstanding resistance to softening action of mineral oil and high resistance to acids alkalies, antimicrobial property termite and insect resistance etc. Contributes to improved flexibility, good drying after banking, high electric insulation properties and thermal stability. Amenability to chemical modification to effect desirable changes so as to get specific properties for making tailor-made polymers of high value, thus the structural changes could be effected at the hydroxyl group, on the aromatic ring and on the side chain. These properties make Cardanol an effective substitute for the petroleum-based phenol. Cardanol polysulfide (CPS) has been used as a vulcanizing agent for natural rubber. Coordination bond linkage in cardanol-aldehyde condensation polymers improved its physicomechanical properties. This positively influences the anticorrosive properties and stability of the polymeric compound at high temperature. The blend of cardanol-based novolac-type phenolic resins, with commercial epoxy or isocynate monomers produces thermoset polymers . The conversion of CNSL-based cardols (6-alkenylresorcinols) into lasiodiplodin, a naturally occurring 12-membered orsellinic acid type macrolide, exhibits plant growth-regulating and antileukemic properties. Specifications: Density @ 300C : 0.9275 – 0.9350 Viscosity @ 250C (cps) : 40 – 60 Iodine value : 210 -280 A
