Furan resins are categoried under heterocyclic organic compounds having one oxygen atom and four carbon atoms connected to each other in an aromatic ring-shaped structure. Furan resins are generally soluble in commercially available organic solvents, such as ether, acetone and alcohols. They are generally colourless, flammable and volatile in nature with a boiling point equivalent to room temperature. These resins harden when heated. The hardening process can be accelerated if heating is done in the presence of an acid catalyst. Furan resins are characterized by high resistance to alkali, acids, chemicals and heat.
Moreover, these furan resins impart exceptional mechanical strength to the end product. Commercially, there are four types of furan resins available in the market, namely furfuryl alcohol resin, furfural resin, bran ketone resin and branone formaldehyde resin. Raw material for furan resins namely furfuryl alcohol, is processed from corn cobs, sugarcane bagasse, oats, and wheat bran among others.
Furfuryl alcohol finds application in aerospace industry as a hypergolic fuel, which shows a characteristic of rapid ignition in the presence of fuming nitric acid. It also finds application as a raw material in the synthesis of specialty chemicals that find adoption in different applications. Furan resins find adoption on a large scale in applications, such as the foundry industry, synthesis of adhesives and sealants, formulation of plastics and the automotive industry, to name a few. Furan resins are also used as raw materials in the synthesis of polymer mortars and polymer concretes, which exhibit a high level of mechanical strength and increased corrosion resistance. This concrete is further used in the construction of chemical plants and in chemical equipment as a refractory lining. Furthermore, furan resins are also used as binders in the manufacturing of glass plastics with exceptional hardness.
