Tetrahydrofurfuryl Acrylate Supplier Malaysia
- Also known as
- Tetrahydro-2-Furylmethyl Acrylate
Tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate is a monofunctional acrylic monomer used as a reactive diluent in ultraviolet and electron-beam curing systems. It helps formulators adjust viscosity, wetting, flexibility and cure behaviour while becoming part of the polymer network.
Standard inhibited, low-colour and electronics-focused grades may be distinguished by assay, colour, water, acidity, ionic impurities and inhibitor content. Commercial material is a clear liquid and requires storage controls appropriate to a reactive acrylate monomer.
Applications include UV coatings, printing inks, adhesives, varnishes, electronic materials and speciality acrylic resins. Tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate is not tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, tetrahydrofuran or another glycol diacrylate, and each should be ordered by its exact name.

Tetrahydrofurfuryl Acrylate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard inhibited tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate | clear liquid | Assay, colour, water, acidity and inhibitor level confirmed against the monomer specification | Reactive diluent in UV- and electron-beam-curable coatings, inks and adhesive formulations. | Drum or IBC presentation is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Low-colour THF acrylate grade | clear low-colour liquid | Tighter colour and purity controls matched to appearance-sensitive formulations | Clear coatings, printing inks, optical formulations and resin systems where colour development must be limited. | Drum packing is confirmed with the offer. |
| Electronics-grade reactive diluent | high-purity clear liquid | Water, ionic impurities, colour and inhibitor controls defined by the electronics process | Electronic coatings, adhesives and photo-curable materials requiring controlled contamination and cure response. | Suitable sealed drum or smaller commercial packing is confirmed with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep sealed, cool and protected from heat, light and unintended polymerisation. Maintain the storage conditions specified for the inhibited grade.
Common questions about tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate
What is tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate used for?
It is used as a monofunctional reactive diluent in UV- and electron-beam-curable coatings, inks, adhesives and speciality acrylic resins.
Is tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate the same as tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol?
No. The acrylate is a polymerisable ester used in radiation-curable systems, while tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol is a separate solvent and synthesis intermediate.
Why is inhibitor content specified for tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate?
The inhibitor supports storage stability and must suit the buyer's handling and cure process. State the accepted range rather than assuming a universal grade.
Which grade should be requested for electronic applications?
Provide limits for water, colour, ionic contamination, purity and inhibitor content, plus the intended coating, adhesive or encapsulation process.
What information is needed for a tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate quote?
Send the application, target specification, required inhibitor condition, quantity, packing and Malaysian delivery location for review and quotation.
