  • Applications

    Tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate (CAS 2399-48-6) is primarily used as a reactive diluent and mono-functional acrylate monomer in UV-curable coatings and inks, where it lowers viscosity and enables fast cure with flexible, clear films. In adhesive formulations, THFA acts as a reactive diluent and building block for acrylate networks, improving processability and adhesion of bonded joints. In polymer and plastics chemistry, THFA serves as an intermediate for acrylate resins and networks, contributing to the flexibility and toughness of the resulting materials. In electronics, THFA-containing resins are used for encapsulation or potting to protect components.
