Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) is a colorless, hygroscopic liquid solvent derived from furfural, widely used in coatings, resins, and as a coupling agent in industrial formulations. It dissolves a broad range of organic compounds and serves as a key intermediate in chemical synthesis. This product has a CAS number of 97-99-4, a molecular formula of C5H10O2, and a molecular weight of 102.13. It is stored at ambient conditions but requires careful handling due to its "Danger" signal word classification.
Molekula supplies Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol at 99% Min purity in 500 mL packs, from $68.00 excl. VAT. It is made or sourced to order. Every batch ships with a certificate of analysis, and safety data sheets are available in 8 languages. Larger quantities, up to multi-tonne, are quoted on request.
