Cashew Shell

Cashew shells, making up nearly 70% of raw cashew nuts, are the largest byproduct in the cashew processing industry. Rich in anacardic acid, cardanol, and cardol, cashew shells are the main raw material for CNSL (Cashew Nut Shell Liquid) industries, widely used in resins, coatings, lubricants, adhesives, and other industrial applications.

As a high-value byproduct, cashew shells provide a sustainable and versatile resource for chemical and industrial uses, helping businesses maximize efficiency and promote zero-waste practices.
