What is Tetrahydrofuran Solvent used for?
It can be polymerized by strong acids to give a linear polymer called poly(tetramethylene ether) glycol(PTMEG), also known as PTMO, polytetramethylene oxide. The primary use of this polymer is to make elastomeric polyurethane fibers like Spandex.
The other main application of Tetrahydrofuran THF solvent is as an industrial solvent for PVC and varnishes. It is an aprotic solvent with a dielectric constant of 7.6.
