Unlocking the Future of plant-based Innovation
FDCA — The most promising plant-based platform chemical
Scientific Name: 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA) Molecular Formula: C₆H₄O₅
FDCA is a next-generation bio-based monomer with broad application potential. Structurally similar to PTA, it is recognized as one of the most promising bio-based platform chemicals for the materials industry.
As a key building block derived from renewable resources, FDCA enables the production of a wide range of high-performance polymers, including polyesters, polyamides, polyurethanes, and specialty chemicals. Global leaders in consumer goods and chemical industries are accelerating the development and adoption of furan-based materials, with FDCA at the core.
Applications of Fdca in Polymers
