URFURAL, the cheapest pure aldehyde available today, does duty for the chemist on two counts—its physical properties and its chemical properties.
PHYSICALLY... Because of its selective solvent properties, its preferential solubility for unsaturated compounds, Furfural is widely used to refine organic crudes w i t h components of varying degrees of unsaturation. In the refining of lubricating oil, in t h e separation and purification of butadiene, in the manufacture of pale rosins from crude dark colored rosin, i n the separation of fractions of high-iodine number from animal and vegetable glyceride oils, Furfural is especially effective and economical. Other uses for Furfural, continually gaining i n importance, are as a dispersant in resinoid-bonded abrasive wheels, dyes, lacquers, and varnish removers.
CHEMICALLY... Its versatility as an aldehyde in condensation, oxidation and reduction makes it a useful r a w material in
