Application

Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is the most versatile cyclic ether solvent: unlimited water miscibility, strong solvency for PVC and elastomers, and the gateway to polyTHF for spandex.

  1. Solvent for PVC cements, pipe adhesives and printing inks.
  2. Reaction medium for pharmaceutical and Grignard chemistry.
  3. Monomer for polyTHF (PTMEG) used in spandex and TPU elastomers.
  4. Coatings for cellophane and specialty films.
  5. Electrolyte and cleaning formulation component.
