Tetrahydrofuran (CAS 109-99-9) has become a fundamental petrochemical compound across multiple industries, ranging from polymers to pharmaceuticals and industrial applications. As a trusted supplier of high-purity THF in China, we present detailed information about THF Chemical below. If you are interested, please contact us immediately!
What is Tetrahydrofuran THF
Tetrahydrofuran (THF), is an organic compound with the formula C4H8O. The compound is classified as heterocyclic compound, specifically a cyclic ether. It is a colorless, water-miscible organic liquid with low viscosity. It is mainly used as a precursor to polymers. Being polar and having a wide liquid range, THF is a versatile solvent.
Purity: ≥99.9%.
Physical State: Clear, colorless liquid; mild ether-like odor.
Boiling Point: 66°C; Flash Point: -14°C.
Packaging: Available in 20L HDPE drums, 200L stainless steel containers, or bulk ISO tanks (for industrial-scale orders), with moisture-resistant seals to maintain purity during storage and transport.
Tetrahydrofuran – Pharma and Industry Applications
Pharmaceutica Applications:
In the pharmaceutical industry, THF is crucial for synthesizing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and creating polymer-based drug delivery systems. It also supports the production of coatings and chemical intermediates vital in drug formulation processes.
Industry Applications
1. Tetrahydrofuran (CAS 109-99-9) is an important raw material for the synthesis of polyether polyols. It can react with 1,4-butanediol to form polytetrahydrofuran ether (PTMG).
2. THF Chemical has excellent solubility and can dissolve polymers such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene, and polyurethane. It is widely used as a solvent in the production of adhesives, coatings, and polymer films.
3. Due to its strong solubility in high-polymer PVC resin, tetrahydrofuran can be used as a coating solvent for synthetic leather and other materials.
Tetrahydrofuran Hazards
There are a few things to keep in mind when using tetrahydrofuran. THF is highly flammable in the vapor and liquid form. Vapors can be explosive when mixed with air. THF is also corrosive to coatings, rubber, and plastics.
When using THF, be sure to wear face protection, eye protection, protective clothing, protective gloves since tetrahydrofuran can irritate the skin, eyes, respiratory system, and depress the central nervous system.
Be sure to keep THF away from open flames, sparks, hot surfaces, and heat.
