Furan resin

Furan resins are liquid thermosetting oligomers that undergo crosslinking reactions when heated and mixed with catalysts. They are primarily prepared by condensation polymerization of biobased furfuryl alcohol and its derivatives in the presence of strong acids.

To improve or modify their properties, they are often copolymerized  with other monomers, such as formaldehyde (FF), phenol and furfural (2-furaldehyde). These resins are available in a wide range of viscosities that cure to highly crosslinked, fairly brittle polymers. They exhibit outstanding resistance to chemicals even at elevated temperatures, usually found only in much more expensive high performance engineering resins.

Furan resins are mainly used as chemical resistant cements and binders, for example for foundry products. Other applications include binders for explosives, wood adhesives,  fiber composites, and other impregnating and coating compositions for demanding applications.
