FURFURYL ALCOHOL 98% FOR SYNTHESIS
Description
Furfuryl alcohol is manufactured industrially by hydrogenation of furfural, which is itself typically produced from waste bio-mass such as corncobs or sugar cane bagasse. As such furfuryl alcohol may be considered a green chemical.[5] One-pot systems have been investigated to produce furfuryl alcohol directly from xylose using solid acid catalysts.
Application
Application
The primary use of furfuryl alcohol is as a monomer for the synthesis of furan resins. These polymers are used in thermoset polymer matrix composites, cements, adhesives, coatings and casting/foundry resins.
