Cardolite

Phenalkamine and Phenalkamide curing agents, polyols, and reactive epoxy modifiers based on cardanol oil from cashew nuts. Fast and low temperature cure, very hydrophobic, and
chemically resistant.

  • Nonreactive resin modifier with a viscosity of 30-115 cPs. Color gardner of ≤ 14.
  • Hydrocarbon resin modifier  with a viscosity of 450-750 cPs. A color gardner of ≤ 4.
  • Epoxy reactive diluent based on renewable CNSL (bio based) with a viscosity of 40-70 cPs. Color Gardner of 9.  This epoxy diluent will contribute lower viscosity, increase hydrophobicity and flexibility. See UL 513 for lower color and lower viscosity.  Similar properties to C 12-C 14 glycidyl ether epoxy diluents.  Slightly less Tg reduction vs GE epoxy diluents. Lite 513 E has lower total chloride and halogen content.
  • A solvent-free phenalkamine with a viscosity of 1,100 cPS. Color gardner 14. Gel time in 22 mins.
  • A solvent-free phenalkamine with a viscosity of 900 cPS. Color gardner 17. Gel time in 40 mins.
  • Cardolite NT-1300 is an tertiary amine catalyst. Offset to Ancamine k54.
  • Cardolite NT-1515is a solvent free, high viscosity polyamide designed for use with solid or liquid epoxy resins. NT-1515 epoxy systems can be used in maintenance coatings, primers and enamel paint formulations because of their excellent corrosion resistance and adhesion properties. This product is also useful in adhesive applications.
  • Cardolite NT-1515X70 is a xylene solution of a high viscosity polyamide, designed for use with solid or liquid epoxy resins. NT-1515X70 epoxy resin systems are used in maintenance coatings and primers because of their excellent corrosion resistance and adhesion properties. This product is also useful in adhesive applications.
  • Cardolite NT-1542 is a solvent free, medium viscosity polyamide curing agent suitable for high solids epoxy coatings and adhesive applications.
  • Cardolite NT-1544 is a solvent free, medium low viscosity polyamide curing agent suitable for high solids epoxy coatings and adhesive applications.
  • Cardolite NT-3000 is an aliphatic monoglycidyl ether containing alkyl chains,which are predominately C12 and C14 in length.
  • A solvent-free phenalkamine with a viscosity of 700 cPS. Color gardner 13. Gel time in 25 mins.
