Description

Cashew, Nutshell Liq., Polymer With Formaldehyde And Phenol is a thermosetting phenolic resin derived from renewable cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL). This compound matters as a high-performance, bio-based alternative to traditional phenol-formaldehyde resins, offering excellent heat resistance, chemical durability, and mechanical properties. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the friction materials, brake linings, foundry binders, and surface coating industries seeking sustainable and reliable polymeric materials. CAS No. 67700-42-9 identifies this specific chemical entity.

Application

• Friction Materials & Brake Linings: As a key binder resin in automotive and industrial brake pads and clutch facings, providing thermal stability and wear resistance.
• Foundry & Molding Sands: Used as a core binder in the foundry industry for metal casting, offering good collapsibility and strength.
• Surface Coatings & Paints: Imparts chemical and corrosion resistance in industrial protective coatings and marine paints.
• Adhesives & Laminates: Serves as a bonding agent in plywood, abrasive wheels, and composite materials.
• Rubber Compounding: Acts as a reinforcing resin and tackifier in rubber products to improve hardness and processing.
• Electrical Insulation: Utilized in potting compounds and insulating varnishes due to its electrical properties.
