  • Applications

    2-Ethenylfuran (CAS 1487-18-9) is primarily used as a monomer and intermediate in polymer synthesis, notably for poly(vinyl furan) and furan-based copolymers for bio-based materials. It also functions as a reactive monomer in coatings and inks, including UV-curable formulations, to form crosslinked polymer networks. In adhesive formulations, furan-based polymers derived from 2-ethenylfuran provide performance advantages. Additionally, it serves as a building block in organic synthesis for pharmaceutical and agrochemical intermediates.
