Cardolite Lite 2020 Cashew nutshell based Cardolite Phenol Formaldehyde (PF) Coatings >> Solvent-Free/ High-Solids Multipurpose Resin Modifier Cardolite® LITE 2020 (formerly NX-4820) is a 100% solids, low viscosity, resin modifier that functions as a formulation tool for coating manufacturers who need to significantly reduce a coating's VOC level. The rapid reduction of viscosity seen with LITE 2020 helps to improve pigment wetting, resulting in higher PVC loadings and better application properties. The low cost of LITE 2020 and its efficient viscosity reduction makes it a valuable tool in lowering a coating's raw material costs. LITE 2020 can be used with a variety of coating types including epoxies, urethanes, acrylics and alkyds. Increase flexibility while maintaining performance Low volatility Excellent water resistance Increased thermal shock resistance Low viscosity Good electrical properties Low viscosity, 100% solids, cashew nutshell resin. Used as reactive modifier for 100% solids coatings. Improves pigment wetting. Allows higher PVC loadings and better application properties. Can be used with epoxies, urethanes, acrylics and alkyds. Increases flexibility while maintaining performance. Offers low volatility, very good water resistance, increased thermal shock resistance, low viscosity and good electrical properties.
