Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol

Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol ( CAS 97-99-4 ), commonly abbreviated as THFA, is a bio-based solvent and humectant derived from furfuryl alcohol. It functions as a carrier solvent and moisture-retention agent across food, fragrance, and personal care formulations. In flavor systems, THFA ( FEMA 3056 ) acts as a solvent carrier for flavor concentrates and aroma compounds, improving dispersion in both aqueous and oil-based matrices. This versatility makes it a staple for complex flavor profiles. Personal care formulators use it as a humectant in skin creams, lotions, and hair care products where sustained moisture delivery is required. Its low odor profile and good solvency make it suitable for dissolving active ingredients. The material is particularly effective for stabilizing fragrance materials in cosmetic bases. In industrial cleaning and coating formulations, THFA serves as a coupling solvent that improves compatibility between polar and non-polar components. THFA is supplied as a clear liquid in drum and IBC quantities, with bulk tanker options available for larger procurement volumes. This ensures a reliable supply chain for both small-scale production and large industrial operations. Food-grade material is available in compliance with FEMA 3056 designation, supporting use in flavor applications. Technical-grade supply is standard for industrial solvent applications where high purity is still a primary requirement. Documentation typically including COA and relevant purity specifications is provided with every shipment. Our logistics team ensures that all quality standards are met for every batch of Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol delivered to your facility.
