Tetrahydrofuran is an important cyclic ether organic solvent and chemical intermediate. As a colorless, transparent, volatile liquid, the product has unique physical and chemical properties and is widely used in polymer materials, fine chemicals and pharmaceutical synthesis.

 

The main product characteristics as below

 

*Moderate evaporation rate:
With good volatility and controllable evaporation rate, uniform evaporation can be achieved in the process.

 

*Wide temperature range applicability:

The melting point is-108℃, the boiling point is 66℃, so that it can maintain stable performance in the cold and high temperature environment.

 

*Good miscibility:
It is soluble with water, alcohol, ketone, ester and most organic solvents, and has a wide range of compatibility.

 

*Enhanced penetration:
In the field of medicine, it can enhance the permeability of drug molecules to biofilm and improve the bioavailability of drugs.

 

*Low freezing point characteristics:
The freezing point reaches-108 C, so that it can remain liquid in the extreme low temperature environment, suitable for low temperature reaction system.
