Cashew Nut Shell Oil By Kalpadruma Agro Products

We are engaged in manufacturing, exporting and supplying excellent quality Cashew Nut Shell Oil to our valuable clients. Cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL) or cashew shell oil is a natural resin with a yellowish sheen found in the honeycomb structure of the cashew nutshell, and is a byproduct of processing cashew nuts.
It is a raw material of multiple uses in developing drugs, antioxidants, fungicides, etc.
It is used in tropical folk medicine and for anti-termite treatment of timber.

Cold, solvent extracted CNSL is mostly composed of anacardic acids (70%), cardol (18%) and cardanol (5%).
Heating CNSL decarboxylates the anacardic acids, producing a technical grade of CNSL that is rich in cardanol.

Cashew shell oil have been explored, including as an additive to brake fluid, to reduce brake fade and brake lining wear.
CNSL derived materials also are being evaluated in the fields of chemical intermediates, additives, stabilizers, lubricants, diesel engine fuel alternatives, poor point dispersants, anti-oxidants, and anticorrosive paints.
