2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid with Cas 3238-40-2
What is 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid ?
2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a highly sensitive and stable chemical intermediate. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural is a key platform compound for the oxidative derivatisation of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (2,5-furandicarboxylic acid), which is considered as a renewable and green alternative to petroleum-based terephthalic acid.
It is soluble in water under alkaline conditions and a white powdery solid under acidic conditions. It is an important monomer for preparing corrosion-resistant plastics. It has a stimulating effect on the eyes, respiratory tract, and skin.
Its primary application is in the production of polyethylene furanoate (PEF), a biodegradable polymer that can replace polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in packaging, textiles, and beverage bottles. PEF offers superior barrier properties, reducing oxygen and carbon dioxide permeability, which enhances food and beverage shelf life.
FDCA also serves as a precursor for polyamides, polyesters, and polyurethanes, contributing to eco-friendly materials in automotive and construction industries. Additionally, it is used in resins, coatings, and adhesives, providing improved thermal and mechanical properties.
As industries shift toward green chemistry, FDCA’s versatility and biodegradability make it a key player in reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Its production from biomass, such as fructose, aligns with circular economy goals, positioning FDCA as a cornerstone of sustainable material innovation.
