Applications
- Surface Coating
Due to the strong solubility of vinyl chloride, even at a high degree of polymerization, THF is used as a solvent for synthetic leather coatings.
- Adhesives
Taking advantage of excellent solubility and diffusion properties, THF is used as a solvent for vinyl and epoxy adhesives.
- Film Casting
THF is used for vinyl chloride heat-shrinkable film and for desiccant.
- Printing Inks
THF is suitable for printing inks, because slightly soluble inorganic compounds can be dissolved and evaporation is quick.
- Other Uses
THF is widely used as a solvent for special resins such as photosensitive resins, because even at room temperature it can dissolve various resins, and it is miscible with water and most organic solvents. In, addition, it is used as a solvent for Grignard and Wittig reactions. Also in pharmaceutical and agricultural manufacturing, it is used as a solvent for reaction and purification.
THF is classified under the Japanese Fire Services Act as a hazardous material, Class 4, Petroleums No.1, water soluble, Hazardous Rank II. Since it is highly volatile and flammable, the storage container should be tightly sealed and stored in a well-ventilated place. When handling take precautions against fire. Like other ethers, explosive peroxides will be generated if THF is exposed to oxygen or air. For this reason the container should be sealed with dry nitrogen.
THF is irritating to the membranes and skin of the eyes, nose, and throat. Exposure to the vapor for long time periods may cause organic solvent poisoning symptoms such as nausea and dizziness. Use adequate ventilation to avoid high concentrations of vapor. When using or handling, always use proper safety equipment such as protective gloves and goggles.
