Furfural has been and continues to be an essential war chemical. It may be several months yet before there is a large excess and it will probably remain on allocation until then. In the meantime, however, customers' requests are being taken care of regularly with the same high grade product supplied before and during the war. If you have been interested in Furfural and become discouraged by your inability to have it allocated now is a good time to resume your work with it. Furfural is a liquid aldehyde approximately 1 6 % heavier than water. T h e commercial grade is sold as 9 9 . 5 % furfural minimum. It is miscible with alcohol, acetone, ether, and most organic solvents with the exception of petroleum hydrocarbons and glycerol. T h e solubility of Furfural in water is 8 . 3 % at 20° C. It is an excellent solvent for phenolic resins. Inquiries regarding Furfural and its associated Furan compounds are welcome. Feel free to use our technical service.
