Furfuryl Alcohol

Description

What is Furfuryl Alcohol?

Furfuryl Alcohol (FFA) is an organic compound derived from furfural, typically produced from renewable agricultural by-products such as corn cobs, oat hulls, or sugarcane bagasse. This clear to light yellow liquid is known for its mild, characteristic odor and excellent reactivity. it is widely valued in industrial applications due to its ability to form strong thermosetting resins, making it a vital ingredient in foundry binders, coatings, and corrosion-resistant materials.
