Furfuryl alcohol

CAS ：98-00-0   Molecular formula: C₅H₆O2₂  Molecular Weight：98.1

Physical properties: 

 Light yellow flammable liquid with bitter almond flavor, it will turn brown or deep red when exposed to sunlight or air. It is miscible with water, insoluble in petroleum hydrocarbons. It is easy to polymerize and react violently in case of acid, forming resin that is not melted.

Application:

 As one of the raw materials for organic synthesis, it can be used to produce levulinic acid, furan resin with various properties, furfuryl alcohol-urea resin and phenolic resin. The cold resistance of plasticizers made from it is better than that of Butanol and Octanol esters. It is also good solvents for furan resins, varnishes, and pigments, and rocket fuels. In addition, it is also used in synthetic fibers, rubber, pesticides and foundry industries.

Packaging and storage:

Packed in iron drum with net weight of 240kg. 19.2 tons (80 drums) in 20FCL .Or 21-25 tons in ISO TANK or bulk. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated place. Tinder is strictly prohibited. Do not store with strong acidic, oxidizing chemicals and food.
