Biomass-based furan resins are mainly known in the foundry industry. In addition, user-friendly furan resin systems have been developped for variety of composite applications [ 1 ]. Besides the use in the automotive industry, PFA composites have a high thermal stability and could also be used in interior of aircraft cabins, internal fittings for buildings, rail carriages or in the built environment [ 2
