Furan Resin
Furan resin in powder and liquid (oil) grades, delivering resistance to acids and alkalis in mortar and jointing-cement systems — supplied by RK Rubber.
Furan resin is valued in acid-brick and chemical-resistant mortar systems for its resistance to both acids and alkalis — a combination that's harder to achieve with some other resin chemistries.
We supply the resin base in powder form and the liquid (oil) grade used with hardeners to produce a chemically inert jointing cement, commonly used alongside acid-brick lining work.
Grades & Variants
Applications
- Acid- and alkali-resistant jointing cement for brick lining
- Chemical-resistant mortar formulation
- Specialty adhesive and cement systems requiring dual acid/alkali resistance
Chemical & Temperature Resistance
Furan-based mortar systems are used specifically for their combined acid and alkali resistance, which suits process environments where exposure isn't limited to one chemical type. Exact resistance depends on the cured formulation and hardener ratio used — our team can advise for your application.
Packaging & Quantities
Powder base is supplied in standard bag quantities; liquid (oil) grade is supplied in drums, typically alongside a matched hardener. Confirm exact packaging and minimum order quantity with our sales team.
Storage & Handling
- Store powder grade in a dry area, sealed against moisture ingress
- Store liquid (oil) grade in sealed drums away from extreme temperatures and ignition sources
- Keep resin and hardener components separate until mixing, and follow standard resin-handling safety practice
Frequently Asked Questions
What's furan resin used for in tank and vessel lining?
It's primarily used as the base for jointing cement in acid-brick lining systems, valued for resisting both acids and alkalis — see our acid proof bricks lining service for how it's applied.
Do I need a separate hardener with furan oil?
Yes, the liquid (furan oil) grade is used together with a hardener to cure into a chemically inert jointing cement. We can advise on the correct hardener ratio for your application.
