It is called the cashew nut shell liquid, which is the pericarp fluid of the cashewnut. Cashew nut shell liquid is a natural product that is used as raw material for the synthesis of wide variety of polymers and water resistant resins. We have carved a niche as one of the most distinguished natural cashew nut shell liquid suppliers in India. In addition to this, the natural cashew nut shell liquid supplied by us finds numerous applications in the industries like automobile, paint and so on and so forth.
Specification for Treated Cashewnut Shell Liquid
The cashewnut shell liquid as extracted has a strong vesicant dermatatic action. Before this liquid is utilized for preparation of resins, it requires treatment to get rid of metallic impurities as well as traces of sulphur compounds. The liquid thus treated is known as " Treated Cashewnut Shell Liquid ".
The specification of treated cashewnut shell liquid is as follows:
| Specific Gravity at 25° C / 24° C | 0.955 - 0.975 |
| Viscosity at 25° C (max.) | 800 cps |
| Lodine Value (min.) | 240.00 |
| Ash (max) | 1% |
| Moisture (max.) | 0.5% |
| Acid Value (max.) | 14 |
Specification for Cold Pressure Cashewnut Shell Liquid
Cashewnut shell liquid is also produced by the 'Cold Pressed' method in solvent extraction plant.
