Chemical Solvent 99% Furfural is used as a solvent in petrochemical refining to extract dienes from other hydrocarbons for the manufacture of synthetic rubber.
Organic Solvent Furfural, and its derivative Furfuryl Alcohol, can react with phenol, acetone, and urea to produce resins. This resin is used to make fiberglass, some aircraft parts and automobile brakes.
Furfural is also a raw material for the production of furan and tetrahydrofuran solvents. HMF has been used in a wide variety of heat-processed foods.
My country has become the factory of the world. With the continuous development of my country's economy in the future, the production of automobile and electronic industries will have greater development. The demand for Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol, a downstream product of furfural, will continue to increase, which will become tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol. Furfuryl alcohol will be the field with the fastest growing market demand in the future. The production of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol has a demand for furfural, which has become another new growth point of domestic furfural demand.

Application
(1) Chemical Solvent 99% Furfural can well dissolve aromatic hydrocarbons and olefins. Therefore, it is widely used in refining lubricating oil, improving diesel oil quality, refining animal and vegetable oils, and making resins and waxes.
(2) 2-Furaldehyde can also be used as raw material for production and reprocessing, such as production of furfural resin and production of furfural hydrogenation products.
(3) Furfural is also widely used in medicine, antiseptic, bactericide, rust remover and cosmetics industries.
(4) It is used as raw material for organic synthesis, as well as synthetic resin, varnish, pesticide, medicine, rubber and paint.
(5) It is mainly used to prepare furfuryl alcohol, furoic acid, tetrahydrofuran γ- Industrial solvent of pentolactone, pyrrole, tetrahydropyrrole, etc. and used as analytical reagent.
(6) Furfural is a very important organic chemical intermediate, which can be used to prepare pentanediol, acetylpropanol, pentadiene, ketones, methyl tetrahydrofuran, etc.
