Adhesive ingredients for Industry Assembly

Cardolite® NX-2026 is a high purity cardanol, bio-based diluent, resin modifier, and accelerator designed for use in adhesives and sealants. It is based on natural, renewable, non-food raw material feedstock. Exhibits very low viscosity, low volatility, excellent water resistance and corrosion protection originating from its chemical structure, long hydrophobic aliphatic chain and aromatic ring. Cardolite® NX-2026 is suitable to be used as a diluent and an accelerator for epoxy adhesives and an isocyanate blocking agent. In adhesive formulation, Cardolite® NX-2026 can improve workability by reducing viscosity and help to achieve fast cure in solvent free formulations. It is recommended for 2K Epoxy adhesives, pressure sensitive adhesive, hot melt adhesives for fabric lamination, 1K/2K epoxy-PU hybrid adhesive, wood/ paper adhesives and industrial adhesive applications. The recommended use level of the product is <20% of total resin weight.

Cardolite® NC-514 is a diglycidyl ether epoxy resin. Cardolite® NC-514 provides excellent flexibility, outstanding water resistance, and increased bond strength on difficult substrates like wet or oily surface. Cardolite® NC-514 is considered bio-based alternative for Bis-A based epoxy resin. It is recommended for 1K/2K epoxy adhesives and sealants as a toughener. It is used in industrial, transportations, and electrical/electronic adhesives to provide toughness, flexibility and water resistance.

Cardolite® Ultra LITE 513 by Cardolite is a low viscosity, mono-functional epoxy reactive diluent. The long hydrophobic aliphatic side chain of cardanol gives this product a very low viscosity and provides excellent water resistance, flexibility, and thermal shock resistance. High viscosity solvent or solvent-free formulations can achieve enhanced workability and higher solids without sacrificing other performance properties using this product. Recommended use level for Cardolite® Ultra LITE 513 is 2-20% of total resin weight. It is an excellent alternative to glycidyl ether diluents because of favorable health hazard labeling, hydrophobicity, and mechanical properties. Used in 1K/2K epoxy adhesives including transportations, industrials and electronics sectors.

Cardolite® LITE 513DF by Cardolite is a low viscosity epoxy reactive diluent and modifier based on cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL) technology. It has long hydrophobic aliphatic side chain which provides excellent water- and thermal shock resistance.

• It is an excellent alternative to difunctional diluents for increased strengths and hydrophobicity.
• Used for transportations, industrials, constructions and electronics applications.
• Partial substitution of liquid epoxy (Bis-A) with Cardolite® LITE 513DF offers well balanced mechanical strength and flexibility while increasing bio-content.
• The recommended usage levels can be 30-100% in reactive systems such as 1K and 2K epoxy adhesives and sealants.

Dynasylan® 1124 by Evonik acts as an adhesion promoter and surface modifier with excellent crosslinking properties. It is a secondary aminofunctional methoxy-silane possessing two symmetric silicon atoms. It provides improved flexural strength, tensile strength, impact strength, modulus of elasticity, moisture-, heat-damp-, and corrosion-resistance.

• It offers improvement in wet-out, homogeneous distribution of inorganic fillers in polymer matrices, rheological behavior like reduction in viscosity and newtonian behavior.
• It exhibits excellent primerless adhesion and high filler loading.
• It shows adhesion with lightweight materials.
• Dynasylan® 1124 is listed in DSL/NDSL, PICCS, TSCA, IECSC/TCSI, ECL, EINECS/ELINCS/SWISS, AICS and NZIoC.
