Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol Supplier Malaysia
- Also known as
- THFA
- Tetrahydro-2-Furanmethanol
- 2-Tetrahydrofuranmethanol
- 2-Hydroxymethyl Tetrahydrofuran
Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) is a clear, high-boiling solvent used in industrial formulation and synthesis. Buyers seeking a tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol supplier in Malaysia can enquire for technical or high-purity grade against their required assay and water specification.
THFA solvent is fully miscible with water and combines a cyclic ether group with a primary hydroxyl group, supporting solvency for both polar and non-polar materials. It is a separate chemical from furfuryl alcohol, furfural and tetrahydrofuran, which must not be treated as aliases or grades of this product.
Applications include agrochemical co-solvent, carrier and penetrant systems, paint strippers, graffiti removers, industrial and electronic cleaning, metal cleaning, printing inks, speciality coatings, textile dye assistants, and pharmaceutical or fine-chemical synthesis. Some stripping and cleaning formulations evaluate THFA as a high-boiling alternative to NMP, 2-butoxyethanol, dimethylformamide or methylene chloride, but these remain separate solvent products.

Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol applications
Common questions about tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol
Which tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol grades are used commercially?
Technical and high-purity grades are used, with requirements commonly distinguished by assay and water content. State the application and acceptance specification rather than assuming a fixed purity.
Is THFA the same as furfuryl alcohol or tetrahydrofuran?
No. Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol is a separate defined substance with its own identity and applications; furfuryl alcohol, furfural and tetrahydrofuran should be specified separately.
Where is THFA solvent used in agrochemical formulations?
THFA is used as a co-solvent, carrier and penetrant in herbicide, insecticide and fungicide formulations. Suitability depends on the complete formulation and required grade.
Why is tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol used in cleaning and coatings?
Its high-boiling character, full water miscibility and solvency for polar and non-polar materials support use in cleaning, stripping, printing ink and speciality coating formulations.
What packing can be requested for tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol?
Commercial liquid requirements may be discussed for drums, IBCs or bulk quantities. The actual packing, documentation and delivery arrangement are confirmed with the quotation.
How is tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol price quoted in Malaysia?
Pricing depends on grade, specification, quantity, packing and delivery location. Provide those details with the enquiry, and refer to the validity period stated in the quotation.
