Description

2,3-Benzofuran is a colorless, sweet-smelling, oily liquid, made by processing coal into coal oil. 2,3-Benzofuran is produced as a component of the crude heavy solvent fraction of the coal-tar light oil formed by the coking of bituminous coal. 2,3-Benzofuran is not isolated for commercial purposes. However, the coumarone-indene resin may be used as a coating on grapefruit, lemons, limes, oranges, tangelos, and tangerines. Coumarone-indene resin is also used in the production of paints and varnishes for corrosion-resistant coatings and water-resistant coatings on paper products and fabrics and as adhesives in food containers. Coumarone-indene resin has been used in asphalt floor tiles.
