      Product Detail  


    Chemical Name: Tetrahydrofuran (THF)

    Synonyms : oxolane;tetramethylene oxide;butylene oxide

    CAS N o:  109-99-9

     

    Priary Use : Principal uses are very broad: in polymers as reaction solvent/processing aid for PVC, PVDC, polyether-type polyurethanes; in pharma and fine chemicals as intermediate for cephalosporins, steroids, vitamin E; preferred solvent for Grignard, organolithium and other organometallic reactions; cathode/anode slurry solvent for Li-ion batteries; chromatography, extraction and natural-product isolation; also to make polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG for spandex/PU elastomers), gamma-butyrolactone, butadiene. Combines ether solvency with moderate polarity and stability toward organometallics (under oxygen-free, anhydrous conditions).

    ECHEMI Editorial Reference
    Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is an industrial solvent widely recognized for its unique combination of useful properties. DuPont THF is better than 99.9% pure with a small (0.025-0.040 wt % ) amount of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT, 4-methyl-2,6-di-tertbutyl phenol) added as an antioxidant. Tetrahydrofuran is a cycloaliphatic ether and is not ''photochemically reactive'' as defined in Section k of Los Angeles County's Rule 66 (equivalent to Rule 442 of the Southern California Air Pollution Control Dist
    Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is an organic compound with the formula (CH2)4O. The compound is classified as heterocyclic compound, specifically a cyclic ether. It is a colorless, water-miscible organic liquid with low viscosity. It is mainly used as a precursor to polymers. Being polar and having a wide liquid range, THF is a versatile solvent.
