Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol CAS 97-99-4

Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol (THFA) (CAS 97-99-4), also known as Tetrahydrofuran-2-yl methanol, THFA, 2-hydroxy-methyltetrahydrofuran, and Tetrahydro-2-furancarbinol, is a bio-based chemical compound used across various industries. Known for its excellent solvency, low toxicity, and biodegradability, THFA is emerging as a sustainable and safer alternative to traditional solvents. Sourced from furfural, a renewable bio-based material, it contributes to eco-friendly practices in numerous formulations.

THFA is primarily utilized as a solvent, chemical intermediate, and plasticizer in industries such as paints, pharmaceuticals, biofuels, and agrochemicals. Its ability to dissolve a wide array of substances and its mild, pleasant odor make it ideal for products like inks, polyurethanes, and fragrances.

As an environmentally conscious solvent, THFA aligns with sustainability objectives, making it an essential component for modern manufacturing practices. It serves as a safer and more eco-friendly choice, compared to many traditional solvents.
