  • Applications

    Furfuryl 2-furoate, CAS 615-11-2, is primarily used as an intermediate and processing aid in specialty chemicals. It serves as a building block in the synthesis of furan-based polymers and resins, and can function as a solvent or co-solvent in coatings, inks, and adhesive formulations. It can also act as a plasticizer to improve flexibility in certain polymer systems. In the fragrance industry, it may be evaluated as an odorant precursor or fragrance ingredient due to the furan ring's aroma characteristics. Additionally, it can be used as a processing additive or carrier in formulated products, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
