HIGHLIGHTS

Admark Polycoats Phenalkamines are based on cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL), a natural, non-food chain, and renewable biomaterial. CNSL is a reddish brown viscous liquid extracted from the soft honeycomb structure inside the cashew nutshell.; CNSL is decarboxylated and distilled to yield high purity Cardanol, a highly desirable alkylphenolic compound used in the coatings and adhesive industries. Cardanol is used as a primary building block for Admark Polycoats epoxy curing agents and epoxy diluents and modifiers.; The product obtained by Mannich reaction of Cardanol, formaldehyde, and certain amines is called a Phenalkamine. Phenalkamines share similar advantages like other Mannich based curing agents, such as: extremely fast cure, low temperature cure (even below 0°C), good chemical resistance, good moisture tolerance, and non-blushing properties. The fast and low temperature cure properties of Phenalkamines have several benefits for coating formulations. Fast cure also means protected surfaces can be re-coated or returned to service in a short period.
