Furfuryl alcohol is manufactured industrially by the catalytic reduction of furfural which is obtained from corncob and sugar cane bagasse. It finds use as a solvent, but is primarily used as an ingredient in the manufacture of various chemical products such as foundry resins, adhesives, and wetting agents.
F 1570 (OTTO) Furfuryl alcohol, 99% Cas 98-00-0 - used in the synthesis of continuous titanium carbidenanofibers / nanoribbon. F 1570 (OTTO) Furfuryl alcohol, 99% Cas 98-00-0 - used in rocketry as a fuel which ignites hypergolically (immediately and energetically in contact) with white fuming nitric acid or red fuming nitric acid oxidizer. The use of hypergolics avoids the need for an igniter.
