Our Markets

We serve customers in a wide variety of markets, always looking for new applications. Our products are used from industrial foundries to pharmaceutical manufacturing plants.

Furfural, Furfuryl alcohol and our Polyfurfuryl alcohol (PFA) resins are used in heavy industries such as foundry, refractory and anti-corrosion:

In foundry, furfuryl alcohol and PFA resins are used in the no-bake process for heavy castings.
Furfuryl alcohol and PFA resins can be used in refractory applications due to their high thermal stability.
Cured PFA resins can be resistant to wide range of solvents, acids and alkaline materials. They are therefore used as cementing agent in chemically resistant grouts and mortars in anti-corrosion applications.

Industrial Resins

Our Polyfurfuryl Alcohol (PFA) resins have applications for multiple products in building and construction, offering high end quality and a bio based solution.

Cured PFA resins can crosslink the cell wall of wood. Using our resin technology or our Furfuryl alcohol plantation grown softwoord can achieve characteristics similar to tropical hardwoord and thus deliver a more sustainable product.
Thermosetting PFA resins can be used in insulation wool as a binder to achieve excellent resistance to high temperatures.
Our resins find applications in High pressure laminates (HPL) for interior design, furniture, flooring and cladding.

Building & Construction

The chemicals and resins we manufacture have multiple applications in the transportation industry. Their unique properties give customers the ability to have tailor made end products for high-end applications.

PFA resins have excellent resistance to high temperatures and provide a resistant matrix for glass, basalt and carbon fibre reinforced composites. Our formulations are available for different processing techniques: Prepreg technology, infusion,…
A typical application of PFA resins is the production of natural fibre reinforced composites. PFA resins (BioRez) have an excellent adhesion to lignocellulosic materials and find use in thermoset applications in automotive and furniture industries.
The chemicals we produce can be used as additives to performance biofuels.

Transportation

In pharma, cosmetics & fragrances our high purity chemicals have applications as solvents and intermediates.

The chemicals we make are used as intermediates to manufacture API’s and excipients.
In Flavours & Fragrances our products are used as intermediates to create high value finished products.
In API manufacturing, 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran (MeTHF) finds its most used application as a synthesis solvent in grignard reactions to manufacture small molecules.

Pharma, Cosmetics & Fragrances

In today's world, sustainability is becoming more important. At TFC we manufacture bio-based solvents that can be used as alternatives to petrochemical solvents.

MeTHF is an interesting alternative to replace petrochemical and more toxic solvents such as THF and DCM.
THFA finds applications in Paints & coatings, agrochemicals, inks and electronic cleaners.
Butyl Levulinate is a novel solvent that has low toxicity and a broad range of applications in paints & coatings, degreasers, cleaning products & more.
