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® 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® 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® NX-5454 is phenalkamine epoxy curing agent by Cardolite that has faster cure at low temperature, i.e. 0°C. Utilized as a solvent-free hardener for epoxy adhesives and as a co-curing agent or accelerator for slower cure epoxy systems. It provides excellent adhesion on wet or otherwise unprepared surfaces and green concrete. Cardolite® NX-5454 offers excellent water resistance, thus, provide outstanding water proofing layer and outstanding durability under high temperature and high humidity exposure. It is recommended for 2k epoxy adhesives in industrial and construction applications. Cardolite® NC-513 is a low viscosity, mono-functional epoxy reactive diluent by Cardolite.
