Description

General description

Tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution is THF in 20% (v/v) 1,2-propanediol. THF a saturated cyclic ester, is a water-miscible organic solvent. THF has been a widely used industrial solvent for varnishes and PVC (polyvinyl chloride), polymerization, electrochemistry, and pharmaceutical.

The product is a tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution containing 20%(v/v) 1,2-propanediol. THF, a saturated cyclic ester,[1] is a water miscible organic solvent.[2] The combustion studies of THF have been reported.[1]
