Areas of action of cardanol

 Cashew phenol, also known as cardanol, is a natural organic compound extracted from cashew nut shell oil. It has a wide range of applications due to its unique chemical structure and various biological activities. Here are the main fields of application for cashew phenol:


​​​​​​​

  1. Medicine and Healthcare:
    • Cashew phenol has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties, which can help prevent and alleviate various diseases.
    • It can be used as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory drug for the treatment of conditions such as arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer.
    • Cashew phenol can also enhance immune system function and improve the body's ability to fight cancer.
  2. Cosmetics:
    • Cashew phenol acts as a natural antioxidant and moisturizer in cosmetics.
    • It can help protect the skin from environmental pollution and UV damage and has anti-aging effects.
    • The use of cashew phenol in skincare products can reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture, and delay aging.
  3. Food Industry:
    • Cashew phenol can be used as a food additive to increase the nutritional value of food and extend its shelf life.
    • It has antioxidant properties that can help prevent food spoilage and maintain freshness.
  4. Chemical Industry:
    • Cashew phenol can replace or partially replace phenol in the manufacture of epoxy-curing agents, liquid phenolic resins, and thermosetting phenolic resins.
    • Due to its high-temperature resistance, good toughness, excellent water repellency, low permeability, and self-drying properties, cashew phenol is widely used in the production of rubber, coatings, plastics, and other products.
  5. Other Applications:
    • Cashew phenol can also be used in the production of lubricants, surfactants, and other chemicals.
    • It has potential applications in the field of environmental protection, such as in the treatment of wastewater and air pollution.

In summary, cashew phenol has a wide range of applications in various fields due to its unique properties and biological activities. However, it should be noted that excessive intake of cashew phenol may cause adverse reactions such as indigestion, nausea, and dizziness. Therefore, it is important to use cashew phenol in moderation and follow medical advice.

Multi-Functional Scratch tester For automotive interior materials

          Multi-Functional Scratch tester is applicable to all types of wiping performance test of automotive interior materials; test equipment integrated three domestic standards (fingers scraping method, a hundred grid method, and plastic scraping finger scraping method).         Scratch tester is an electronic instrument capable of measuring critical load, adhesion, scratch resistance and bond strength for a wide range of surfaces. Scratch tester measures the scratch resistance of a sliding and moving surface in the relative motion to a stylus. The stylus is forced/pressed against the moving surface with precise controlled force which is normal to the surface and tangential force at the contact has to be measured.         Scratch tester can be utilized for all type of industrial coating from the plasma layers used in semiconductor and optical technology used in decorative coatings used for automotive and consum...

Reveal the standards for textile breathability testing and let you understand it in seconds!

 Reveal the standards for textile breathability testing and let you understand it in seconds! Breathability testing is a measure of how much gas can pass through a textile. However, there is no single "optimal" air permeability value, as it depends on the specific circumstances in which the textile is used. For example, if it is used to make sportswear, it is hoped that it has good breathability; if it is used to make insulating clothes or warm clothes, it is hoped that it can block the cold well. Therefore, when testing the air permeability of textiles, the purpose of using the textile must be clearly understood in order to obtain reasonable values. In order to accurately and quickly test the true breathability performance of a sample, specially designed and developed instruments must be used. Testing methods generally include: fabric thickness (Thickness), fabric density (Density), fabric water absorption rate (Water Absorption Rate), evaporation and mass transfer (Moistur...

Test Methods of Universal Pilling Assessment Viewer (PAV)

Universal Pilling Assessment Viewer enables fabric to be assessed while still mounted on a Martindale head. The Pilling Assessment Viewer (PAV) for the textile market has been developed with the help of a major textile company in accordance to BN EN ISO 12945 standards incorporating all 3 parts and adopting the following test methods: Part 1: ICI Pilling box method (BS 5811) Part 2: Modified Martindale method (SN 198 525) Part 3: Atlas random tumble method (ASTM D 3512-96) It uses D65 Artificial Daylight (with CWF optionally available), as specified by many retailers. Other test methods can also be viewed, including those specified by major retailers. Other results of test methods that can be viewed include: BS 5811:1986 Determination of resistance to pilling and change of appearance of fabrics. ICI modified pill box for snagging Fleece appearance and surface change after washing Other test methods as specified by several major retail outlet. To optimize c...
