CAS: 109-99-9
Tetrahydrofuran (THF), or oxolane, is an organic compound with the formula (CH2)4O. The compound is classified as heterocyclic compound, specifically a cyclic ether. It is a colorless, water-miscible organic liquid with low viscosity. It is mainly used as a precursor to polymers. Being polar and having a wide liquid range, THF is a versatile solvent.
· The other main application of THF is as an industrial solvent for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and in varnishes.
· THF is often used in polymer science.
· THF is used as a component in mobile phases for reversed-phase liquid chromatography.
· THF is used as a solvent in 3D printing when using PLA plastics. It can be used to clean clogged 3D printer parts, as well as when finishing prints to remove extruder lines and add a shine to the finished product. Recently THF is used as co-solvent for lithium metal batteries, helping to stabilize the metal anode.Tetrahydrofura
