Industrial Grade Tetrahydrofuran (THF) 99.5% Purity
Industrial-grade THF is a high-purity cyclic ether used extensively in the production of polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG) for spandex fibers. It matches HTS 2932.11.00.00 due to its unfused tetrahydrofuran ring structure as a separate chemically defined organic compound. Essential in pharmaceutical extraction and PVC cement formulations.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified by functional group as other cyclic ethers without emphasis on furan ring
Alternative classification possible under acyclic ether-like headings if ring structure not principal characteristic, though Chapter notes prioritize heterocyclic structure.
If imported as organic composite solvent mixture for retail or industrial cleaners
Blends with other solvents for specific uses like adhesives or cleaners shift to Chapter 38 organic composites.
