We at ARABOare dealing into Cardanol for all the industrial needs. It is a phenolic lipid obtained from anacardic acid, the main component of cashew nutshell liquid more...
CNSL can be extracted by the expeller method but the oil has to be heated after extraction to convert anacardic acid to car- danol . The expelled and heated CNSL will have less amount of polymerised CNSLmore...
Commercial CNSL Under reduced Pressure was distilled at a temperature of 225o C under reduced pressure (1mm of Hg) to obtain cardanol. A pale yellow to brown liquid of refractive index 1.5 at 30o C .Cardanol is a phenol which has a C15 unsaturated alkyl chain with 1-3 double bondmore...
The unique Molecular structure of Cardanol, especially unsaturation of long Hydrocarbon side 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 basmore...
