Furfural, Furfuryl Alcohol

Today, Harborchem is an important supplier of furfural and furfuryl alcohol in North America. Harborchem provides its customers with the security of a furfural supply from one of the world's largest and most efficient sources.

Harborchem's furfural and furfuryl alcohol are produced by Illovo Sugar Limited, of Durban, South Africa. This state-of-the-art facility continues to be expanded and improved every year. Illovo's plant has been ISO 9001 approved since 1993.

Harborchem has a full-time staff, able to provide technical service and support to its customers in the lube oil industry. Technical support for furfuryl alcohol is available as well.

Furfural inventory is maintained under a nitrogen blanket at three North American locations. Furfuryl alcohol inventory is maintained in the Northeastern United States. Favorable railroad tank car rates have been established for many locations in order to minimize freight costs. Harborchem's® strategic storage flexibility, supported by a fleet of 20,000-gallon railcars, has shown its customers that they can count on Harborchem's ability to supply bulk quantities of furfural at a moment's notice.

As the US's only furfural and furfuryl alcohol supplier, totally basic in biomass feedstock, and dedicated to serving the merchant market, Harborchem continues to be in the strongest position to assure a long-term, reliable source of supply.
