Chemical Name: Tetrahydrofuran(THF)

CAS NO.: 109-99-9   Molecular Formula: C₄H₈O  HS Code: 29321100

Properties: Tetrahydrofuran is colorless transparent liquid with ether odor. Density is 0.8892. Refractive index is 1.405. Boiling point is 66 degrees Celsius. Freezing point is -108.56 degrees Celsius. It’s soluble in water and most organic solvents. Easy to burn. In the air it can be produced explosive peroxides. Under pressure it can act with hydrogen chloride and generated 1,4-dichlorobutane. Used as natural and synthetic resin (especially vinyl resin) dissolved, but also used for the production of butadiene, adiponitrile, adipic acid, hexamethylene diamine.

Quality Index:

Uses: Tetrahydrofuran has a low toxicity, low boiling point and good fluidity etc. It is an important organic synthesis material and good solvent. It can be used in a wide range; Tetrahydrofuran offers good solubility to many organic compounds, it can dissolved all other organic compounds (except polyethylene Ethylene, polypropylene and fluororesin), especially has a good dissolution for polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride and benzoin; It is widely used as a reaction solvent, as "universal solvent". As a common solvent, tetrahydrofuran has been widely used in the surface treatment of surface coatings, protective coatings, inks, extractants and artificial leather. Tetrahydrofuran is an important raw material for the production of polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG) and it is also the main solvent in the pharmaceutical industry.

Packing: 180kg metal pail.

Storage conditions: Tetrahydrofuran should be stored in a cool dry and well ventilated place, away from heat, sparks and flame. In order to prevent the electrostatic, the transport container should be grounded, the container should be sealed and not stored with an oxidizing agent or a strong acid. Tetrahydrofuran is flammable and toxic liquid, container identification should be clear
