Usage: Furfuryl alcohol is an important organic chemical raw material. It’s mainly used for the producing furan resin, furfuryl alcohol - urine aldehyde resin, phenolic resin. This kind of resin is widely used in foundry industry in modeling and core-molding. Furfuryl alcohol can also be used for anticorrosive resin, pharmaceutical raw materials, tartaric acid, plasticizer, solvents and rocket fuel, etc. In addition, It also have wide use in dyestuff, synthetic fiber, rubber, pesticide and foundry industries.
