The future is green.

We turn agricultural (crop) waste into bio-based chemicals and polymers for the production of sustainable end-use materials with a high bio-content and a low carbon footprint.

Transfurans Chemicals is a pioneer in Furfural chemicals. Since 1972 we have been producing Furfuryl Alcohol and derivative products in our facility in Belgium.
 
Together with our sister company International Furan Chemicals, handling the commercial activities, located in the Netherlands and Canada we are the market leader in Europe and North-America.

Who we are

Our products

Polyfurfuryl Alcohol (PFA) resins can be applied to a wide variety of applications.
