Results for tag: "Furan Resins"

Furan resins, also known as furanic or furfuryl alcohol resins, are a niche category within the broader plastic resins market. Derived from agricultural byproducts, such as corn cobs, sugarcane bagasse, and wood waste, they are thermo-setting polymers with distinct properties. These properties include high chemical resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical strength, making furan resins suitable for applications requiring durability in harsh environments. They are commonly used in foundry sand binders, cement and refractory products, adhesives, and coatings, as well as in the production of corrosion-resistant fiberglass. The appeal of furan resins is reinforced by their sustainability aspect, as they originate from renewable resources, aligning with the increasing demand for environmentally-friendly materials in various industries like construction, automotive, and marine. Several companies operate in the furan resins market, contributing to its development and distribution. Some notable players include DynaChem Incorporated, The Chemical Company, Penn A Kem LLC, Hongye Chemical Co., Ltd, Nova Molecular Technologies, and BASF SE. These firms differ in their specializations and geographic outreach, offering various grades of furan resins tailored to suit specific industrial applications. Show Less Read more
