Product Information

Tetrahydrofuran, anhydrous, stabilized with 250-300 ppm BHT, is a versatile solvent widely utilized in various industrial and research applications. Known for its excellent solvency properties, Tetrahydrofuran is particularly effective in dissolving a range of polar and nonpolar compounds, making it an ideal choice for polymerization processes, particularly in the production of polyethers and other synthetic materials. Its low viscosity and ability to mix with water enhance its utility in chemical reactions and extractions, providing researchers and manufacturers with a reliable medium for their processes.

In addition to its role as a solvent, Tetrahydrofuran is also employed in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and in the formulation of coatings and adhesives. The stabilization with BHT ensures that the compound maintains its integrity during storage and use, minimizing the risk of degradation. With its unique combination of properties, Tetrahydrofuran stands out as a preferred choice for professionals seeking efficiency and reliability in their chemical processes.
