Storage & Shipping

Storage Conditions

Keep sealed in a cool, dry, ventilated warehouse. Protect from moisture, heat and contamination; store away from incompatible chemicals.

Packaging Integrity

Inspect bag seams, liners and pallet wrapping before unloading. Protect from rain and punctures, retain lot identification and reseal opened liners promptly.

Packaging

25 kg lined fiber drums

Handling & Protection

Use enclosed powder feeding or local extraction. Wear suitable protective gloves, eye protection and work clothing; avoid dust inhalation and direct contact. Provide controls for fumes during hot processing.

What Is 2-Furoic Acid?

2-Furoic acid, CAS 88-14-2, is furan-2-carboxylic acid, a heterocyclic carboxylic acid with formula C5H4O3. Its furan ring and acid functionality support selected synthetic intermediates. It differs from furfural and from the positional isomer 3-furoic acid.

The local 2026 TDS specifies purity ≥99.5%, colour ≤10 APHA, ash ≤0.20%, water ≤0.30% and melting range 129.5–133.5°C. Compare the acid grade and impurity profile with the intended synthesis and downstream purification needs.

Ester and amide production, furan-derivative chemistry and selected specialty materials require assessment of reaction conditions, impurity tolerance and finished-intermediate quality. Resin and coating development requires separate formulation and compatibility testing.

Listing a chemical intermediate does not establish suitability or approval for a finished food, medicine or consumer product. Protect workers from powder and serious eye exposure. Standard packing is 25 kg lined fiber drums; the current matched SDS identifies non-dangerous goods for transport.
