Poly(furfuryl alcohol)

Poly(furfuryl alcohol) is a thermosetting polymer derived from furfuryl alcohol, known for its high thermal stability, chemical resistance, and carbon yield upon pyrolysis. It polymerizes via acid-catalyzed condensation, forming a crosslinked structure with excellent heat and fire resistance.

Applications:

High-Temperature Composites: Used in aerospace and automotive applications.
Foundry Binders: Provides durable, heat-resistant sand molds.
Protective Coatings: Enhances corrosion resistance in harsh environments.
