MR. JO JX 7016 – Sustainable CNSL-Based Reactive Diluent for Flexible Epoxy Systems
In today’s epoxy industry, performance is no longer the only demand. Customers are increasingly asking for eco-friendly materials that still deliver high mechanical and chemical resistance. JX 7016 meets this need by combining Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) technology with the proven versatility of epoxy systems.
♻️ What Makes JX 7016 Special?
JPOXY JX 7016 is a mono-functional CNSL-based reactive diluent designed for coatings and adhesives. Derived from renewable cashew nut shell oil, it provides a bio-based alternative to traditional petroleum-derived diluents.
Key technical properties:
- Epoxy Equivalent Weight (EEW): 425–575 g/eq
- Viscosity @ 25°C: 40–70 mPa·s
- Density @ 25°C: 0.96–0.98 g/cc
- Color (Gardner): ≤9
⚙️ Performance Benefits
✅ Improves Flexibility – Unlike many diluents that only reduce viscosity, JX 7016 also enhances the toughness and impact resistance of epoxy systems.
✅Smooth Application – Its moderate viscosity ensures good flow and spreadability during application.
✅Sustainable Alternative – As a CNSL-based solution, it reduces reliance on fossil-based inputs.
✅Balanced Dilution – Offers moderate dilution efficiency, ideal when extreme thinning is not required.
🎯 Typical Applications
JX 7016 works well in a wide range of epoxy systems:
- Protective & Industrial Coatings – where flexibility and crack resistance are critical.
- Adhesives & Sealants – for bonding materials exposed to stress or movement.
- Eco-friendly Formulations – for projects requiring green chemistry compliance.
- General Epoxy Modifications – where formulators need better flow while maintaining strength.
🌍 Why Choose CNSL-Based Diluents?
With regulatory pressures around low-VOC, sustainable, and bio-based materials, CNSL-based diluents are gaining attention globally. They provide:
- A renewable raw material source
- Reduced environmental footprint
- Compatibility with existing epoxy systems
JX 7016 brings all these benefits without compromising on practical processing or final performance.
