High purity furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid 3238-40-2

2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a renewable, bio-based building block chemical that can be used as a replacement for petroleum-based chemicals in various applications. It is derived from biomass sources such as corn, wheat, and sugar cane.

FDCA has several advantages over traditional petrochemicals. It is non-toxic, biodegradable, and has a low carbon footprint. It can be used to produce a variety of products, including plastics, fibers, and resins.

One of the most promising applications of FDCA is as a replacement for terephthalic acid (TPA) in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic. PET is widely used in the production of bottles, packaging, and textiles. However, TPA is derived from petroleum and has a high carbon footprint. FDCA can be used to produce a bio-based PET that is more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

In addition to PET production, FDCA can be used to produce other bio-based plastics such as polyamides and polycarbonates. It can also be used as a building block for various chemicals such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and solvents.
