Furfuryl alcohol

Furfuryl alcohol (CAS 98-00-0), also known as FA, is a bio-based furan derivative produced from agricultural residues such as sugarcane bagasse and corn cobs. In industry, it functions as a reactive solvent in resin systems. It also serves as a flavoring agent in food and fragrance applications. In foundry and resin manufacturing, FA is the primary monomer in furan no-bake binder systems used to produce sand cores and molds for metal casting.

Food and beverage producers use it as a FEMA 2491-approved flavoring to impart roasted, coffee-like notes in baked goods, confectionery, and beverages. This versatile chemical is essential for high-performance industrial resins. In fragrance formulation, it contributes warm, caramel-adjacent character to personal care products including perfumes and cosmetic blends. It also functions as a solvent and carrier in specialty coatings and adhesive formulations.

This material is particularly valued where compatibility with furan-based systems is required. Furfuryl alcohol is supplied as a clear to amber liquid in drum and IBC quantities for various industrial needs. Bulk tanker options are available for high-volume industrial buyers. Technical grade is the standard offering for resin and foundry applications, ensuring consistent performance in manufacturing environments.

Food-grade material meeting FEMA specifications is available for flavor and fragrance end uses. Our supply chain ensures that all products meet rigorous quality standards for global distribution and safety compliance.
