Furfuryl alcohol
Description
Furfuryl alcohol (CAS 98-00-0 ), also known as FA, is a bio-based furan derivative produced from agricultural residues such as sugarcane bagasse and corn cobs. In industry, it functions as a reactive solvent in resin systems. It also serves as a flavoring agent in food and fragrance applications. In foundry and resin manufacturing, FA is the primary monomer in furan no-bake binder systems used to produce sand cores and molds for metal casting. Food and beverage producers use it as a FEMA 2491 -approved flavoring to impart roasted, coffee-like notes in baked goods, confectionery, and beverages. This versatile chemical is essential for high-performance industrial resins. In fragrance formulation, it contributes warm, caramel-adjacent character to personal care products including perfumes and cosmetic blends. It also functions as a solvent and carrier in specialty coatings and adhesive formulations. This material is particularly valued where compatibility with furan-based systems is required. Furfuryl alcohol is supplied as a clear to amber liquid in drum and IBC quantities for various industrial needs. Bulk tanker options are available for high-volume industrial buyers. Technical grade is the standard offering for resin and foundry applications, ensuring consistent performance in manufacturing environments. Food-grade material meeting FEMA specifications is available for flavor and fragrance end uses. Our supply chain ensures that all products meet rigorous quality standards for global distribution and safety compliance. Contact us for supply of Furfuryl alcohol Request Quote
