Applications
CTS offers a series of products based on the phenolic structure currently derived from cashew shell oil, a by product of the cashew nut industry. The unique chemical structure gives our resins a high degree of formulation versatility, enhanced moisture, and chemical resistance with improved flame retardant properties.
