Cardanol
EINECS number 609-405-2
///
CAS number 37330-39-5
Cardanol is a natural organic compound that is derived from cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL). CNSL is a viscous, dark brown liquid that is obtained from the shells of cashew nuts. Cardanol is one of the major components of CNSL and is known for its various industrial applications.
Cardanol is primarily composed of a phenolic compound with a long hydrocarbon side chain.It is a natural alkylphenol . It is used in the production of various products such as resins, friction materials, coatings, and surface coatings. It is valued for its high chemical reactivity and the ability to undergo various chemical modifications to produce different derivatives with specific properties. For instance, it can be used to synthesize cardanol-based resins, which have applications in the manufacturing of adhesives, varnishes, and even as an ingredient in brake linings.
Cardanol is often considered an eco-friendly alternative to certain synthetic chemicals, as it is derived from a renewable and natural source, and its production can help reduce the environmental impact of certain industrial processes.

CAS number 104-43-8
Dodecylphenol, or para dodecylphenol also known as 1-dodecyl-4-nonylphenol or simply DDP, is a chemical compound belonging to the family of alkylphenols. It is characterized by having a dodecyl (12-carbon) hydrocarbon chain attached to a phenolic ring. This chemical structure gives dodecylphenol unique properties and applications in various industries. It is an alkylphenol.
Dodecylphenol is commonly used as an intermediate chemical in the synthesis of surfactants and emulsifiers. Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension of liquids, allowing them to spread more easily, while emulsifiers help mix substances that do not normally blend, such as oil and water. These applications are found in various products, including detergents, industrial cleaners, and certain agricultural chemicals.
It’s important to note that there are concerns about the environmental and health impacts of some alkylphenols, including dodecylphenol, due to their potential endocrine-disrupting properties. As a result, there have been regulatory restrictions and efforts to find alternative compounds in some applications.

CAS number 84852-15-3
Nonylphenol is a chemical compound belonging to the family of alkylphenols. It is characterized by having a nonyl (a nine-carbon alkyl) hydrocarbon chain attached to a phenolic ring.
Nonylphenol is produced from the chemical reaction between nonene and phenol. It is mainly a para isomer, phenol, 4-nonyl-, branched.
Nonylphenol is often used as an intermediate chemical in the production of surfactants, emulsifiers, and other chemicals. Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension of liquids, making them more effective in applications such as detergents and industrial cleaners. Emulsifiers are used to mix substances that do not naturally combine, like oil and water, and are found in various products, including pesticides and paints.

EINECS number 202-679-0
///
CAS number 98-54-4
p-Tertiary butylphenol (p-TBP) is a chemical compound with a specific structure, characterized by the presence of a tertiary butyl group (a branched, four-carbon alkyl group) attached to a phenolic ring. The “p” in its name indicates that the tertiary butyl group is attached to the para position of the phenolic ring, which means it is attached at the fourth carbon atom from the phenolic hydroxyl group.
It is an alkylphenol.
p-Tertiary butylphenol has applications in various industries, including as a chemical intermediate. It can be used in the synthesis of other compounds, including resins, antioxidants, and stabilizers. These derivatives often find use in the production of rubber, plastics, and other materials. Additionally, p-tertiary butylphenol can function as an antioxidant in lubricating oils and fuels to help prevent the degradation of these products due to oxidation.
It’s worth noting that the chemical structure of p-tertiary butylphenol, specifically the presence of the phenolic ring, provides it with antioxidant properties, making it useful for preserving the quality and longevity of various products that are prone to oxidation and degradation.
