IMPROVE PRODUCT QUALITY USE FURFURYL ALCOHOL RESINS The most important single characteristic of furfuryl alcohol (FA®) is its ability to resinify at room temperature in the presence of acidic reagents. This feature enables FA to perform economically in several important markets, such as no-bake
Foundry Binders
foundry binders and corrosion resistant mortars. FA Resins are also modified with ureas to meet special requirements in yet other uses—wood adhesives, foundry binders and impregnating solutions. Look at the advantages FA resins offer:
Wood Adhesives
faster core production lower cost cores improved dimensional accuracy·
Corrosion Resistant Mortars impervious to most acids
strong bond craze resistance gap-filling non-warping.
Impregnating Solutions high density non-porous brick carbon graphite.
alkalies solvents over a wide range of concentrations and temperatures.
There are many more areas where FA resins can be the solution to commercial problems — perhaps yours. The Quaker Oats Company does not sell FA resins but
as a producer of the chemical itself is glad to supply information about the chemistry, physical data and uses of QO furfuryl alcohol.
