Viridisol - Model T - Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol (Thfa)

Viridisol® T (THFA) is a bio-based water-miscible solvent with low odor, vapor pressure, and evaporation rate. This very biodegradable solvent is EPA approved for pre and post-harvest applications. In addition to being FEMA GRAS, the solvent is also non-HAP. These properties make Viridisol® T a preferred solvent in agricultural, cleaning, coating, and paint formulations. The primary alcohol functionality is easily derivitized to reactive monomers, such as acrylates, which can be incorporated into resins. Viridisol® T can also be derivatized with ethylene oxide or propylene oxide to prepare ethoxylate/propoxylate compounds for use in surfactant applications.
