2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid /FDCA CAS 3238-40-2

1.Bio-based & Green Attributes: Derived from biomass feedstocks like glucose and fructose, it is 100% renewable and biodegradable. It serves as a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based PTA, significantly reducing the carbon footprint.

2.Structural Advantages: The unique furan ring and dicarboxyl structure endow downstream materials with superior gas barrier properties, heat resistance, and mechanical strength—outperforming traditional PET.

3.Polymerization Compatibility: It efficiently polymerizes with polyols such as ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, serving as a key monomer for synthesizing bio-based polyesters and polyamides.

4.Eco-friendly Compliance: Fully compliant with RoHS and REACH standards with no harmful residues, making it suitable for high-end applications like food contact and medical sectors.

PEF (Polyethylene furanoate): Polymerized with ethylene glycol, PEF offers gas barrier properties (O₂/CO₂/H₂O) 2–10 times higher than PET, along with superior heat resistance and mechanical performance. It is used in beverage bottles, food packaging, films, and fibers.

Other Bio-based Polyesters: Includes PPF, PTF, etc., utilized in high-end packaging, textiles, and automotive interiors.

Polymer Modification: Used in semi-aromatic nylons, unsaturated polyesters, and polyurethanes to enhance heat resistance, chemical resistance, and barrier properties.

Coatings & Adhesives: Applied in high-performance coatings, adhesives, and composites to improve weatherability and adhesion.

Non-phthalate Synthesis: Used to synthesize bio-based non-phthalate plasticizers, serving as a substitute for traditional phthalates in PVC, food packaging, and medical supplies.

Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a raw material for Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), pharmaceutical intermediates, and functional materials.

Polymer Modification: Acts as a modifier for petroleum-based polymers to improve biodegradability and environmental friendliness.
