Description

Application
It is widely used as a solvent in chemical reactions polymer processing (especially for PVC) and in the production of adhesives coatings and pharmaceuticals.

Purpose
The main purpose of tetrahydrofuran is to act as an effective solvent that dissolves a wide range of substances and facilitates chemical reactions due to its strong solvating ability.

General Description
Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a colorless volatile liquid with a mild ether-like odor and is a cyclic ether. It is highly flammable and completely miscible with water and most organic solvents.
