109-99-9 Tetrahydrofuran (THF) Instruction:

Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is an oxygenated five membered heterocyclic compound (cyclic ether), known as universal solvent.
109-99-9 is a clear, low viscosity liquid with an ether like odor. 109-99-9 is completely miscible with water at room temperature. 109-99-9 is flammable and low toxic, and its LD50 is close to that of acetone. Because THF has low boiling point, good fluidity, strong solubility to many chemicals and good diffusion permeability to the surface and interior of the resin, THF can penetrate into the skin and cause water loss due to its excellent solubility. THF can dissolve latex, so you usually wear gloves made of nitrile rubber or neoprene.

Production method of tetrahydrofuran (THF):

General tetrahydrofuran (THF) has two main industrial uses: one is to produce the monomer of polytetrahydrofuran (PTMEG), which is the raw material for the production of spandex; The second is as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) solvent and other reactive solvents, such as paint solvent in medicine and tape manufacturing. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) production mainly comes from the dehydration and cyclization route of 1,4-butanediol (BDO) synthesized by Reppe method and propylene oxide / allyl alcohol method. So far, this route still accounts for 53% of the total THF production capacity.

109-99-9 Tetrahydrofuran (THF) Application:

109-99-9 is an organic solvent with excellent properties.As a common solvent, tetrahydrofuran has been widely used in surface coatings, protective coatings, inks, extractants and artificial leather surface treatment. Tetrahydrofuran is an important raw material for the production of polytetramethylene ether diol (PTMEEG). Used as a solvent for natural and synthetic resins, and also for the production of butadiene, adiponitrile, adipic acid, adiamine, etc. THF is also an intermediate in the organic synthesis of drugs.

THF is  an intermediate in the organic synthesis of drugs. Tetrahydrofuran is a kind of important organic synthetic raw material and solvent, tetrahydrofuran for many organic compounds have good solubility, THF can dissolve all except polyethylene, polypropylene and fluorine resin organic compound, especially for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), poly (vinylidene chloride and butyl aniline have good solution, is widely used as reaction solvent. As a common solvent, tetrahydrofuran has been widely used in surface coatings, protective coatings, inks, extractants and artificial leather surface treatment. Tetrahydrofuran is an important raw material for the production of polytetramethylene ether diol (PTMEEG) and is also a major solvent in the pharmaceutical industry. Used as a solvent for natural and synthetic resins (especially vinyl resins), and also for the production of butadiene, adiponitrile, adipic acid, adiamine, etc. Used as solvent, intermediate in chemical synthesis and analytical reagent.
