Description

Furfuryl Alcohol Resin is a thermosetting polymer derived from furfuryl alcohol, a key bio-based chemical. This resin is valued for its exceptional chemical resistance, high thermal stability, and excellent dimensional stability upon curing. It is a critical material for industries requiring durable, corrosion-resistant binders and coatings, particularly in foundry and refractory applications. The compound is identified by CAS No. 25212-86-6.

Application

• Foundry Sand Binders: As a core and mold binder in metal casting, providing excellent hot strength and low gas evolution.
• Refractory Materials: Used as a bonding agent in the production of acid-resistant bricks, mortars, and monolithic refractories.
• Corrosion-Resistant Linings & Coatings: Formulating chemically resistant tank linings, floor toppings, and grouts for industrial facilities.
• Carbon & Graphite Composites: Acting as an impregnant and binder in the manufacture of carbon brushes, electrodes, and friction materials.
• Wood Adhesives & Impregnation: Enhancing the dimensional stability, hardness, and decay resistance of wood products.
• Furan Grouts: Used in civil engineering for soil stabilization and anchoring in aggressive, wet environments.

Quality Control

Our Furfuryl Alcohol Resin is manufactured under strict process controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Quality is verified against key parameters such as viscosity, solids content, and acid catalyst reactivity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. The recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and polymerization.
