Pre-eminent as is the use of Furfural because of its selective solvent properties, this versatile aldehyde is gaining n e w adherents because of its other properties, too. Other uses of Furfural growing in importance continuously, are as a dispersant in resinoid-bonded abrasive wheels, dyes, lacquers, varnish removers, etc.; as a resin former and resins; as a fungicide and bactericide, and as a highly reactive intermediate for the production of many organic compounds.
Furfural is the cheapest pure aldehyde available today. It sells for 9 l / 2 cents per pound in tank car lots F O B Cedar Rapids, Iowa. T h e supply of Furfural is ample to meet all present and anticipated needs and a program to keep production facil ities ahead of increasing demands is already in operation.
