Furfural CAS 98-01-1

BLIT Chemical Furfural, a versatile organic compound derived from biomass, is commonly sourced from agricultural by-products such as corn cobs, oat hulls, and sugarcane bagasse. Known for its mild almond-like odor, furfural is widely used as a solvent in refining applications, as a chemical intermediate in the production of furan-based chemicals, and as a starting material for producing resins, fungicides, and fuels. This renewable and biodegradable compound is central in many sustainable chemical processes.

Specification:

Application:

Chemical Synthesis: Key intermediate in synthesizing furan derivatives, phenolic resins, and other chemicals.

Refining Solvent: Used to purify lubricating oils and butadiene.

Agricultural Chemicals: Acts as a base in producing fungicides and pesticides.

Polymer and Resin Production: Integral to the manufacture of durable resins and synthetic fibers.

Renewable Fuels: Research is exploring furfural’s potential as a biofuel precursor.

Usage Guidelines:

Health Hazard: Furfural may be harmful if inhaled or ingested and can cause skin and eye irritation; it is essential to handle it with proper protective equipment.

Storage: Store in a well-ventilated, cool, and dry location away from oxidizing agents, light, and ignition sources.
