liquid (CNSL).
The cashew tree, Anacardium occidentale L., is native to northeast Brazil. Portuguese traders, however, introduced this small evergreen to coastal India and Africa as a means to prevent soil erosion. Today, significant quantities of cashew can be discovered in India, Vietnam, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Brazil and other equatorial countries. The cashew tree is “rapidly renewable,” often reaching maturity in just two (2) years and yielding harvests every year thereafter and does not require intensive farming practices.
Palmer Particles™
Friction composites are used pervasively in many industries to control an object’s velocity, most notably in automotive braking. In our post-asbestos world, these complex composites are comprised of anywhere between 10 and 30 raw materials. Palmer’s cashew particles play a functional role in stabilizing the coefficient of friction, reducing wear, minimizing noise, vibration and harshness (NVH), and influencing “pedal feel”.
