Tetrahydrofuran is a solvent with excellent performance

Tetrahydrofuran is a commonly used excellent solvent, especially suitable for dissolving PVC, polyvinylidene chloride and butylaniline. It is widely used as a solvent for surface coatings, anti-corrosion coatings, printing inks, tapes and film coatings. It is used in electrochemical book aluminum plating solutions. The thickness and brightness of the aluminum layer can be controlled arbitrarily. Tape coating, PVC surface coating, cleaning PVC reactor, removing PVC film, cellophane coating, plastic printing ink, thermoplastic polyurethane coating, adhesive solvent, commonly used in surface coatings, protective coatings, inks, Extractive agent and surface treatment agent for synthetic leather.

Tetrahydrofuran is one of the most polar ethers. It is used as a medium polar solvent in chemical reactions and extractions. It is a colorless and volatile liquid at room temperature, with an ether-like smell. Soluble in most organic solvents such as water, ethanol, ether, acetone, and benzene, it is called a "universal solvent".

It is partially miscible with water at room temperature. Some unscrupulous reagent dealers take advantage of this fact to make huge profits by mixing tetrahydrofuran reagent with water. Since THF has a tendency to form peroxide during storage, industrial products generally add antioxidant BHT. Moisture content ≦0.2%. It has the characteristics of low toxicity, low boiling point and good fluidity.
