Description

Furan CAS NO 110-00-9 is a fundamental heterocyclic organic compound, characterized by a five-membered aromatic ring containing one oxygen atom. This versatile chemical intermediate is crucial for synthesizing a wide range of more complex molecules, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers. It is an essential building block for research and development laboratories, fine chemical manufacturers, and industrial-scale producers seeking reliable, high-purity raw materials.

Application

• Chemical Synthesis: A key starting material and intermediate in the production of tetrahydrofuran (THF), pyrroles, and other heterocyclic compounds.
• Pharmaceutical Industry: Used as a precursor in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug candidates.
• Agrochemical Manufacturing: Serves as a building block for certain herbicides, fungicides, and other crop protection agents.
• Resin & Polymer Production: Employed in the manufacture of furan resins, which are used as binders in foundry sands and for corrosion-resistant composites.
• Solvent & Extraction Agent: Acts as a specialized solvent for resins and in certain extraction processes due to its selective solvation properties.
• Research & Development: A fundamental reagent in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new synthetic pathways and material science.

Quality Control

Our Furan is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) for every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, water content, and impurity profiles. Our quality systems are designed to meet the rigorous demands of fine chemical synthesis and industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (refrigerated) for extended stability, though short-term storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable.
