Tetrahydrofuran is an important organic synthesis raw material and excellent solvent, tetrahydrofuran has good solubility for many organic substances, it can dissolve all organic compounds except polyethylene, polypropylene and fluorine resin, especially for polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride and butaniline has a good dissolution effect, is widely used as a reactive solvent. As a common solvent, tetrahydrofuran has been widely used in surface coatings, protective coatings, inks, extractants and artificial leather surface treatment, tetrahydrofuran is an important raw material for the production of polytetramethylene ether diol (PTMEG), but also the main solvent in the pharmaceutical industry. As a solvent for natural and synthetic resins (especially vinyl resins), it is also used in the production of butadiene, adiponitrile, adipic acid, hexamediamine, etc.
