【Use One】
Used as a raw material for the synthesis of various furan resins, anti-corrosion coatings, and also a good solvent
【Use Two】
It is a good solvent and rocket fuel for resins, varnishes and pigments. It can also be used in synthetic fibers, rubber, pesticides and foundry industries.
【Use Three】
GB 2761-1997 stipulates that it is allowed to use food spices. Mainly used to prepare coke-flavored flavors.
【Use four】
Furfuryl alcohol is used in organic synthesis, and levulinic acid (fruit acid) is obtained by hydrolysis, which is an intermediate of nutritional medicine calcium fructate. Furan resins with various properties (such as furfuryl alcohol resins, furan I or furan II resins), furfuryl alcohol-urea-formaldehyde resins and phenolic resins can be prepared from furfuryl alcohol;
【Usage Five】
Solvent. Organic synthesis (manufacturing anthracene, resin, etc.). preservative. spices.
It should be sealed and protected from light and stored in a cool place.
Avoid close to strong acid during storage.
Keep away from water sources, and can be stored in iron, mild steel or aluminum containers.
1. Avoid contact with air. Avoid contact with acid chlorides, oxygen, and acids.
2. Colorless and easy-flowing liquid, it will turn brown or deep red when exposed to sunlight or air. There is a bitter taste. It is miscible with water, but unstable in water, easily soluble in ethanol, ether, benzene and chloroform, and insoluble in petroleum hydrocarbons. Insoluble in alkanes.
3. Chemical properties: Furfuryl alcohol can reduce silver nitrate ammonia solution when heated. It is stable to alkali, but it is easy to resinize under the action of acid or oxygen in the air. In particular, it is extremely sensitive to strong acids and often catches fire when the reaction is intense. It appears blue when heated with a mixture of diphenylamine, acetic acid, and concentrated sulfuric acid (diphenylamine reaction).
4. Exist in flue-cured tobacco leaves, burley tobacco leaves, oriental tobacco leaves and smoke.
