Uses/Applications

Foundry Resins
Furfuryl alcohol is a key component in the production of furan resins, which are widely used as binders in foundry sand cores and molds. These resins offer excellent heat resistance, dimensional stability, and low gas evolution during casting processes, making them ideal for producing high-quality metal castings.

Refractory Materials
Furfuryl alcohol-based resins are utilized in the manufacture of refractory materials such as ceramic fiber composites, refractory bricks, and thermal insulation coatings. These materials exhibit exceptional thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength, making them suitable for high-temperature applications in industries like steelmaking, petrochemicals, and aerospace.

Composite Materials
Furfuryl alcohol is used as a matrix resin in the production of advanced composite materials such as carbon fiber-reinforced composites and fiberglass laminates. These composites find applications in aerospace, automotive, marine, and sporting goods industries due to their lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance properties.

Corrosion Protection
Furfuryl alcohol-based coatings are employed for corrosion protection of metal surfaces in harsh environments such as marine, offshore, and chemical processing facilities. These coatings provide excellent adhesion, chemical resistance, and barrier properties, helping to extend the service life of metal structures and equipment.

Wood Preservation
Furfuryl alcohol is used in wood preservation treatments to impregnate timber and enhance its resistance to decay, insects, and fungal growth. Treated wood products find applications in construction, railway ties, utility poles, and marine structures where durability and longevity are essential.

Lubricant Additives
Furfuryl alcohol derivatives are utilized as additives in lubricating oils and greases to improve their lubricity, oxidative stability, and wear resistance. These additives find applications in automotive, industrial, and marine lubrication systems, helping to reduce friction, prevent wear, and extend equipment life.

Flavors and Fragrances
Furfuryl alcohol is employed in the synthesis of flavoring agents and fragrances used in the food, beverage, and cosmetic industries. Its unique aromatic properties contribute to the development of diverse flavor profiles and scents, enhancing the sensory appeal of consumer products.
