Cardanol is a renewable byproduct form the agroindustries. It can be substituted for phenol in a phenol-formaldehyde resin. However, resins made exclusively from cardanol exhibit inferior mechanical properties. On the other hand, mixtures of phenol cardanol formaldehyde, phenol-formaldehyde, and cardanol formaldehyde resins have been tested to eliminate this drawback. Cardanol results in an increase in the impact strength at small amounts of 4–6% substitution, but other mechanical properties are decreasing.

Cardanol is a phenolic lipid obtained from anacardic acid, the main component of cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL), a byproduct of cashew nut processing. Cardanol finds use in the chemical industry in resins, coatings, frictional materials, and surfactants used as pigment dispersants for water-based inks.
