Bio based (Castor oil & CNSL Based)

Resins derived from CNSL (cashew nut shell liquid) offer a sustainable and high-performance alternative to petroleum-based resins. Extracted from the shells of cashew nuts, CNSL is a non-edible, renewable resource with unique chemical properties, making it ideal for industrial resin applications. Its use contributes to reducing environmental impact while maintaining strong technical performance.

About our supplier

Kolon Industries is a renowned company specializing in the production of high-quality chemicals, particularly hydrocarbon tackifier resins. Since 1957, they have been delivering innovative solutions for a wide range of applications, including adhesives, sealants, rubber compounding, and coatings. At De Monchy, we offer a portfolio of various Hydrocarbon resins from Kolon. These resins find applications in various aspects of daily life, including paint for road marking, office tapes, printer ink, and more. They are marketed under the trademarks SUKOREZ, HIKOREZ, and HIKOTACK.

Unique Properties

Sustainability: Derived from a non-food biomass source, CNSL is a byproduct of the cashew industry and supports circular material use.
Thermal Resistance: CNSL resins exhibit excellent heat resistance due to their aromatic-aliphatic structure.
Adhesion: Strong adhesion properties make CNSL derivatives valuable in coatings, adhesives, and composites.

Toughness and Impact Strength: Often used to enhance the mechanical performance of final products.
Lower Toxicity and VOCs: CNSL-based formulations can reduce harmful emissions compared to traditional options.

Highlighted Product Grade

Grade	Method
XFN10.92	XFN10.92 is a REACH approved liquid substance derived from CNSL, it presents an aromatic-aliphatic chemical structure, which makes it capable of resisting high temperatures, adhere to substrates generally firmly and improve heat release rate. Commonly, it is a substance used as an additive reactive diluent, helping with theimpacts-strength of the final structure.

Alternative for

CNSL-based resins are an effective alternative to conventional petroleum-derived materials, especially in applications where thermal stability, mechanical strength, and sustainability are critical. While there are other bio-based options available, CNSL is often preferred due to its balance of performance and environmental benefit.
