description Product Description
Furfural is widely used as a solvent in the refining of lubricating oils and in the production of butadiene, which is essential for synthetic rubber manufacturing. It effectively removes impurities and undesirable components during oil processing due to its high selectivity and solvency. In agriculture, furfural serves as a precursor for the synthesis of agrochemicals, including pesticides and herbicides. It is also used in the production of furfuryl alcohol, a key resin component in foundry sand binders for metal casting. Additionally, furfural finds application in the food industry for flavoring and as an intermediate in the synthesis of food additives, though in limited and regulated amounts. Its role as a renewable platform chemical derived from biomass makes it valuable in green chemistry initiatives and the development of bio-based plastics and fuels.
