FOR RESINS I N THE QUANTITIES Y O U N E E D . . . W h a t e v e r the stage of your work on resins y o u can get fur fury 1 alcohol —gallons, d r u m s or t a n k cars. And regardless of t h e stage of your work with resins if you h a v e n o t considered fur fury 1 alcohol, we suggest i t m a y be worth your while to explore t h e properties o f this resin-forming alcohol. T h e well-known acid-catalyzed, self-condensation of furfuryl alcohol yields a resin characterized b y its inertness to acids, alkalies and sol vents. More recently it has been established t h a t modified resins having interesting properties can be prepared by reaction of furfuryl alcohol with a variety of o t h e r substances.

LARGE SCALE PRODUCTION
with PHENOLIC-COMPOUNDS. Reaction with phenolic resins yields products of good mechanical strength and alkali resistance. In addition furfuryl alcohol and phenol, cresol or resorcinol can be reacted to form thermosetting resins. Conversion to the insoluble and infusible state is accelerated by the addition of hexamethylenetetramine. with FORMALDEHYDE. Liquid resins useful as varnishes and binders are made by condensation of formaldehyde with furfuryl alcohol in an acidic medium. Similar products can be obtained when furfuryl alcohol is partially resinified prior to condensation with formaldehyde. with OTHER MATERIALS. Furfuryl alcohol can also be reacted with melamine, ureas, thiocyanates and other materials to produce resins with interesting and promising properties. Chemists who are trying to develop new products Vill find furfuryl alcohol most interesting because of its versatility. FURFURYL ALCOHOL AVAILABILITY. Today, furfuryl alcohol is available for shipment in tank car quantities. Literature on the properties and uses of fur furyl alcohol and samples will be supplied when requested on business letter head. While WE DO NOT MANUFACTURE RESINS, our Technical Staffis at your service for consultation on the application of furfuryl alcohol to your requirements.
