Furfuryl Alcohol

Furfuryl Alcohol is a furan-derived heterocyclic alcohol with formula C₅H₆O₂. It is a clear colorless to pale yellow liquid that darkens to amber/red on exposure to air and light. As the core monomer for furan resins, it is widely used in foundry binders, anticorrosive coatings, agrochemical intermediates, and industrial solvent systems.

Safety & Handling

⚠️ Toxic if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed via skin (Class 6.1). Suspected carcinogen - minimize exposure.

⚠️ Combustible; vapor can form ignitable mixtures. Darkens/polymerizes in air, light, or contact with acids.

🛡️ Use in ventilated area / fume hood; wear solvent-resistant gloves, goggles, protective clothing.

🛡️ Store in a sealed container in a cool, dark place; keep furfuryl alcohol away from strong acids, oxidizing agents, and metal catalysts that could trigger polymerization.
