Product Description

Furfuryl Alcohol (CAS 98-00-0) is a heterocyclic, furan-based alcohol used primarily as a reactive monomer and solvent in furan resin systems, foundry binders and specialty polymer chemistry. It is offered in multiple purity grades to meet process, resinification and downstream performance requirements for industrial manufacturers and formulators.

Application

  • Furan resin monomer & resinification
    Reactive monomer for manufacturing furfuryl and furan-based resins used in foundry binders, adhesives and specialty coatings.
  • Foundry binders & lost-foam casting
    Primary component in binder systems for sand cores, shell molding and lost-foam casting where high-strength, heat-resistant resins are required.
  • Reactive diluent & crosslinking modifier
    Used as a reactive diluent or crosslinking comonomer in thermoset formulations to adjust viscosity and cure profile.
  • Specialty chemical intermediate
    Intermediate for synthesis of furan derivatives, flavor/fragrance building blocks and certain performance additives.
  • Corrosion inhibitor and metal-treatment intermediates
    Feedstock for manufacture of amine- or furan-derived inhibitor chemistries used in industrial water treatment and metal protection formulations.
  • Analytical & laboratory reagent
    Supplied in small packs for R&D, resin development and analytical method development.
