CASHEW NUT SHELL LIQUID or CNSL or Cashew Nut Oil or Cashew Shell Oil or CNSL Oil is a versatile by
product of the Cashew industry. The nut has a shell of about 1/8 inch thickness inside which is a soft
honey comb structure containing a dark reddish brown viscous liquid. It is called CASHEW NUT SHELL
LIQUID or CNSL. Which is the pericap fluid of the Cashew Nut. It is often considered as the better and
cheaper material for unsaturated phenols. CNSL has innumerable applications, such as friction linings,
paints, laminating resins, rubber compounding resins, cashew cements, polyurethane based polymers,
surfactants, epoxy resins, foundry chemicals, and intermediates for chemical industry. It offers much
scope and varied opportunities for the development of other tailor-made polymers. A number of
products based on CNSL are used as antioxidants, stabilisers and demulsifies for petroleum products.
Soluble metal derivatives of C.N.S.L are used to improve the resistance to oxidation and sludge
formation of Lubricating oils. Oxidised CNSL and its derivatives are also used as demulsifying agents for
water in oil type petroleum emulsions. CNSL or CASHEW NUT SHELL LIQUID OIL used for manufacturing
of CNSL Resin, Cardanol or Card Phenol or Cashew Phenol, Cashew Friction Dust, Anti corrosive hiring
