CNSL resin is thermosetting as well as binding resin which are in wide demand for brake lining together. These act as a good binding agent as it provides the requisite characteristics of a straight phenolic nature. These offers much flexibility, good thermal stability and higher impact resistance which cause the decrease in the co-efficient of friction. These are widely used for manufacture of asbestos and non-asbestos brake lining, disc pads and railway brake blocks.

Cashew Friction Dust is made out of CNSL. These are widely used as a stability agent in brake products. It absorbs heavy impact and act as a cushioning agent of the engaging property of the lining. These are easily decomposed on the surface able lining at various elevated temperature controlling the wear and acting as a protective device by prohibiting the excessive temperature being generated. It also easily absorbs the heat and disperses the same in the whole area of the friction material.

We offer Cardanol which is also known as Card Phenol. This is manufactured from Cashew Nut Shell Liquid. A main constituent of CNSL, our manufactured cardanol is wide used for varied applications.

Applications:

• Paints and varnishes decorative
• Industrial laminates
• Copper clad laminates
• Epoxy
• Resins & oil soluble
• Electrical insulating
• Varnishes surface
• Pesticides
• Azo dyes
• Synthetic rubber
• Wax compounding adhesives
• Lacquers
• Foundry resins

We offer Cashew nut shell liquid which is a co-product of the cashew nut industry and primarily a natural products where the processing involves no use of chemicals. It is a dark liquid which is comprised of different unsaturated alkenyl substituted phenols.

Application: The dual phenolic/alkenyl nature of CNSL makes it a useful natural raw material for the synthesis of water-resistant resins and polymers. Since the phenolic moiety, under both alkali and acid conditions is reactive to the electrophiles like aldehydes, there would be no requirement for a cross-linking agent as both functionalities would be inherent in every new molecule. However, the remaining alkyl aldehyde groups would increase the reactivity of the system towards cross-linking and would aid in imparting a high degree of hydrophobicity.

We offer Vermiculite, a non toxic mineral which is used in varied applications. These are offered to our client's at market leading prices. It is used for :

• Soil conditioner
• Loose-fill insulating
• Incubation of eggs
• Fireshop mortor
• Interior fill for firestop pillows
• Growing medium for hydroponics
