Palmer’s manipulation of the unique chemical structure of CNSL has resulted in new high performance resins and surfactants for the paints and coatings industry.

Cashewthane™ Resins

Developed from renewable resources, our “Green Chemistry” resins revolutionize the formulating paradigm for environmentally friendly paints and coatings.

Our air-dry resins provide an important tool for reducing VOCs. This allows the architectural, industrial, and wood coatings formulator to increase solids while maintaining or improving the overall coating performance.

Excellent compatibility with other resins, such as alkyds and oil-modified polyurethanes, provides the coating formulator with the ability to modify their existing products.

The key benefits of Cashewthane™ resins are:

• Faster dry times
• Improved film gloss
• Improved film hardness and adhesion
• Enhanced chemical, water, and solvent resistance

Aequenol™ Surfactants

Aequenol nonionic surfactants allow for ultimate pigment/solids dispersions in water based systems.

They maximize particle size reduction and tighten the distribution, helping to reduce the system’s viscosity and overall stability.

This patented technology will help optimize production by increasing solids in your dispersion formulation, yet it will maintain the system’s rheological profile and minimize pseudo plasticity.

Aequenol™ will minimize potential compatibility problems when mixing with other paint and coating components.
