alpha-Methyltetrahydrofuran - Use
Open Data Verified Data
This product is mainly used as a solvent for resin, natural rubber, ethyl cellulose and chloroacetic acid-vinyl acetate copolymer. It is used to extract aliphatic acids, which is better than the commonly used low boiling point solvent; it can also be used as an initiator for the polymerization of ethylene derivatives or butadiene, and 1, 3-pentadiene (an important raw material for synthetic rubber); It is also very important in the uranium smelting industry. In addition, it is also a raw material for the pharmaceutical industry, and can be used for the synthesis of the anti-hemorrhoidal drug, such as, for example, Bricanyl phosphate.
