    Advantages of PEF Over PET

    Polyesters are one of the major products of the plastic industry. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a common variation used in its production. PET is produced from terephthalic acid (PTA) and ethylene glycol (EG). PTA is derived from para-xylene which is produced through oil refining. While EG is also produced through ethylene obtained from oil cracking,

    FDME

    Application FCAD has developed a method for producing furan dicarboxylic methyl ester (FDME) from fructose. FDME is a high-purity derivative of furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), one of the 12 building blocks identified by the U.S. Department of Energy that can be converted into a number of high-value, bio-based chemicals or materials that can deliver high performance

    Watson FDCA Pilot Plant, China

    In early 2014, Watson International Ltd (Watson for short, http://www.watson-int.com) under FCAD Group had begun construction of a pilot plant for the production of 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA, CAS 3238-40-2) and its material 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF, CAS 67-47-0) in Ningbo, China. FDCA as a chemical building block is usually used to produce innovative green fuels, chemicals and

    FDM

    Application FDM is a derivative of our key intermediate HMF CAS 67-47-0 which has applications in the manufacture of polyurethane foams and polyesters. The chemical intermediates derived from selective hydrogenation of HMF can be used as raw materials to synthesize pharmaceutical intermediates, nucleoside derivatives, crown ethers and other compounds as well as polyester, polyurethane and
  • HMF

    HMF

    Application HMF was originally developed by FCAD as the key intermediate of FDCA CAS 3238-40-2 which is widely used as a bio-based polymer material. Today, the biorefinery is an important approach for the current needs of energy and chemical building blocks for a diverse range of applications, that gradually may replace current dependence on fossil-fuel
  • FDCA

    FDCA

    Application FDCA has a large potential as a replacement for terephthalic acid, a widely used component in various polyesters, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polybutyleneterephthalate (PBT). PET has a market size approaching 4 billion lb/yr, and PBT is almost a billion lb/yr. The market value of PET polymers varies depending on the application, but
