Furfural
HI GHWAY
Going by way of furfural to reach their destination has paid off for petroleum refiners who use furfural's selective sol vent properties in producing lubricants of improved quality. This selective sol vent property is likewise a well traveled road in the purification of butadiene.
SOLVENT
Resinoid-bonded grinding wheels roll off production lines that utilize furfural's solvent and wetting properties. Furfural-phenolic resins as well as res inous products from furfural with urea, casein, lignin or amines are of interest. RESIN
CHEMICAL 'NTERMEDfATE
And now nylon will soon be traveling the furfural highway by way of adiponitrile using furfural's properties as a versatile chemical intermediate. THESE ARE SOME of the uses that have brought fur fural to a position of paramount importance in industry. The versatility of this compound, the cheapest pure alde hyde today, indicates other uses along many different paths. W e suggest that you investigate the possibilities along lines in which you are interested. Write for Bulle tin 204 describing the uses of furtMiul.
