Description

Furfurylalcohol CAS NO 98-00-0 is a versatile organic compound derived from renewable resources like agricultural by-products. This clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid is a critical building block in the synthesis of high-performance resins and specialty chemicals. It is essential for manufacturers in the foundry, polymer, and agrochemical industries seeking sustainable and high-performance chemical intermediates.

Application

• Foundry Resins: Primary use as a key monomer in the production of furan resins for sand cores and molds in metal casting, offering excellent thermal stability and dimensional accuracy.
• Polymer & Plastic Modification: Used as a reactive diluent and cross-linking agent in epoxy systems and for modifying urea-formaldehyde resins.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a vital intermediate in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, fragrances, flavoring agents, and specialty solvents like tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA).
• Corrosion Inhibitors: A component in formulations for protecting metals in acidic environments.
• Agricultural Chemicals: Intermediate in the synthesis of certain pesticides and herbicides.
• Wood Impregnation: Used in treatments to enhance the durability and water resistance of wood products.
