Product Application

antacids-medicine

Furfural is used for making inks, plastics, antacids, adhesives, nematicides, fungicides, fertilizers, and flavoring compounds [60]. Furfural can be used as a solvent or in the making of furfuryl alcohol, tetrahydrofuran (THF), and levulinic acid (LA). Furfuryl alcohol is prepared by hydrogenation of furfural. It is a monomer for furan resins, these being used mainly as foundry binders.
