FURFURYL ALCOHOL 98% FOR SYNTHESIS
SKU: RXSOL-60-6604-621
Furfuryl alcohol is manufactured industrially by hydrogenation of furfural, which is itself typically produced from waste bio-mass such as corncobs or sugar cane bagasse. As such furfuryl alcohol may be considered a green chemical.[5] One-pot systems have been investigated to produce furfuryl alcohol directly from xylose using solid acid catalysts.
Application
The primary use of furfuryl alcohol is as a monomer for the synthesis of furan resins. These polymers are used in thermoset polymer matrix composites, cements, adhesives, coatings and casting/foundry resins.
Dosage
The NOEL of 53 mg/kg bw per day for the related substance, furfural (Jonker, 2000), is > 10 000 times the estimated daily .
