CARDOLITE NC 540 is recommended for 2K epoxy adhesives in industrial and constructions.
CARDOLITE NC 540 is a member of phenols.
CARDOLITE NC 540 is a phenolic lipid obtained from anacardic acid, the main component of cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL), a byproduct of cashew nut processing.
CARDOLITE NC 540 finds use in the chemical industry in resins, coatings, frictional materials, and surfactants used as pigment dispersants for water-based inks.
CARDOLITE NC 540 is used to make phenalkamines, which are used as curing agents for the durable epoxy coatings used on concrete floors.
The name of the substance is derived by contraction from the genus Anacardium, which includes the cashew tree, Anacardium occidentale.
The name of the genus itself is based on the Greek word for heart.

CARDOLITE NC 540 is a renewable byproduct form the agroindustries.
CARDOLITE NC 540 can be substituted for phenol in a phenol-formaldehyde resin.
However, resins made exclusively from cardanol exhibit inferior mechanical properties.
On the other hand, mixtures of phenol cardanol formaldehyde, phenol-formaldehyde, and CARDOLITE NC 540 formaldehyde resins have been tested to eliminate this drawback.
CARDOLITE NC 540 results in an increase in the impact strength at small amounts of 4–6% substitution, but other mechanical properties are decreasing.
Uses
CARDOLITE NC 540 is a phenolic lipid obtained from anacardic acid, the main component of cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL), a byproduct of cashew nut processing.
CARDOLITE NC 540 finds use in the chemical industry in resins, coatings, frictional materials, and surfactants used as pigment dispersants for water-based inks.
Production Methods
CARDOLITE NC 540, also known as anarcardol, is a mixture of meta-C15-alkenylphenols, and is obtained by decarboxylation of anarcardic acid, which is the main constituent of cashew nut-shell oil.
The alkenylphenols have been identified as 3-(penta-dec-8-en-1-yl)-, 3- (pentadeca-8,11-dien-1-yl)-, and 3-(pentadeca8,11,14-trien-1-yl)phenols.
