About Tetrahydrofuran (THF) 99% NF Grade

Tetrahydrofuran (THF), commonly known as Oxolane, is a compound of four carbons and one oxygen connected in a ring formation to form a cyclic ether. It is a colorless, organic solvent of low viscosity. Because it is of mid-range polarity and miscible with water, it has diverse use as a solvent. It is abundantly utilized as a polymer precursor in various polymer production sectors. It dissolves polymers and  PVC and is the main ingredient in PVC adhesives. It can be used to liquefy old PVC cement and is often used industrially to degrease metal parts.

Tetrahydrofuran (THF) 99% NF Grade meets all of the requirements as per the National Formulary (NF) monograph.
