3.Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol is used as lubricant, dispersant in printing, etc.
1. Solvent: THFA is used as a solvent in chemical reactions and formulations due to its ability to dissolve a wide variety of substances.
2. Chemical intermediate: It is an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and other specialty chemicals.
3. Resins and coatings: THFA is used in the production of resins, especially in the formulation of coatings and adhesives, where it can enhance properties such as flexibility and adhesion.
4. Plasticizer: Can be used as a plasticizer in polymer formulations to improve flexibility and processability.
5. Fuel Additive: THFA can be used to formulate fuel additives to improve combustion performance.
6. Personal Care Products: Due to its solvent properties, it can appear in some personal care formulations, such as cosmetics and skin care products.
Stored in a dry and ventilated warehouse.
1. Container: Store THFA in airtight containers made of compatible materials (such as glass or certain plastics) to prevent contamination and evaporation.
2. Temperature: Keep the storage area cool and well ventilated. Ideally, THFA should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
3. Humidity: Maintain a dry environment as moisture will affect the quality of the chemicals.
4. Separation: Store THFA away from incompatible substances such as strong oxidants, acids and bases to prevent any hazardous reactions.
5. Label: Make sure all containers are clearly labeled with the chemical name, hazard information, and date received.
6. Safety Precautions: Observe all relevant Safety Data Sheet (SDS) recommendations and local regulations regarding storage of chemicals.
1. Inhalation: Inhalation of vapor may cause respiratory irritation. Long-term exposure to high concentrations of vapor may cause more serious respiratory problems.
2. Skin Contact: THFA may cause skin irritation upon contact. It is recommended to wear appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves, when handling this material.
3. Eye Contact: It may cause eye irritation, so protective glasses should be used to prevent contact.
4. Ingestion: Ingestion of THFA may be harmful and may cause gastrointestinal irritation or other adverse effects.
5. Safety Precautions: Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) of THFA for detailed information on hazards, handling and first aid measures. When working with chemicals, use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and ensure adequate ventilation.
