Cashew nut shell liquid(CNSL):
One byproduct of the cashew processing industry is Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (also known as CNSL oil, Cashew Shell Oil, and CNSL Resin). 70% of the weight of the raw cashew nut is made up of the cashew nut shell.The cashew nut shell has a thin shell, about 1/8 inch thick, with a delicate honeycomb structure inside that holds a viscous liquid that is dark reddish brown in color. The pericarp fluid of cashew nuts is known as cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL). Up to 25–35% of cashew nutshell is made up of oil; this valuable oil is also referred to as cashew nut shell oil and is imported from several nations worldwide.
Cashew heating process:
– The oil-burning process is similar to oil F.O. Cashew oil is heated to 60°- 70°C
– Depending on the burn, the oil is foggy under the pressure of the wind and spray directly into the combustion chamber.
– Incident burning temperature of 220°C oil (lower than oil F.O)
– The process of generating heat completely.
Cashew nut shell contains a mixture of Alkyl, natural Phenols with the main chemical elements: Cardanol, Cardol, 2-Methyl and their polymers. From the available physical and chemical properties, cashew nut shell oil is a valuable raw material in many industries:
– Production of high quality adhesive materials
– Produces highly resistant surface for corrosion protection in mechanical engineering, waterproofing, waterproofing with high adhesion despite thin coating.
– Production of high-grade paints used in marine paint technology, drilling rig: anti-rust, wide-coated surface, saving materials
– Production of insulating materials, electronic products, applications for the automotive industry
– Production of friction powder, the main raw material in the production of brake discs, raw materials for the production of activated carbon
– Creating products for preserving woods products, impregnating wood for construction, interior decoration.
