Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) is a secondary product of cashew processing industry. Cashew Nuts Shells have thickness of 1/8 inches. Inside the wall of this shell is a soft honeycomb like structure which contains CNSL, a dark brown viscous liquid.
CNSL is also used in the production of Cardanol and Card phenol, widely used aromatic hydrocarbons.
Where can I purchase a small amount of cnsl?
I would suggest getting in touch with factories in India or Vietnam as both of these countries have strong processing industries that utilize Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL).
