The Global Market for Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is Projected to Exceed 1.0 Million Metric Tons by 2020
Wide Ranging Applications of Tetrahydrofuran-Based Poly Tetra Methylene Ether Glycol Drives Global Demand, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. GIA launches comprehensive analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size and demand forecasts on the global Tetrahydrofuran (THF) market. The global market for Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is projected to exceed 1.0 million metric tons by 2020 , driven by wide ranging applications of THF-based poly tetra methylene ether glycol (PTMEG), and rising demand for eco-friendly corncobs-based 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran (2MeTHF). Tetrahydrofuran (THF), also known as Diethylene Oxide or Tetramethylene Oxide, is an extremely flammable, clear, and colorless liquid, majority of which is used as an intermediate for the production of poly tetra methyl ether glycols (PTMEG). THF represents one of the most crucial ethers and is fully hydrogenated analogue of furan, an aromatic compound. The highly volatile and ...
