HMF CAS NO.67-47-0

HMF(5-Hydroxymethylfurfural) is the most important material to manufacture FDCA (2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid) and FDME (Dimethyl furan-2,5-dicarboxylate) which are used to make PEF that may be a large potential as a replacement for terephthalic acid, a widely used component in various polyesters, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) .

And Watson is the earliest and largest manufacturer of FDME and FDCA and our quality of both can satisfy the needs of manufacturing Polyesters including high purity, controlled metals, ultra-white appearance and mass supply capability.

Watson International Ltd' has a very strong R&D and technical capacity supported by FCAD's platform. The subsidiaries under FCAD Group have accumulated much know-how of different fine chemical branches. For example, Apnoke Scientific Ltd is the expert in Amino Acid and Peptide, Ulcho Biochemical Ltd focuses on Carbohydrate and Nucleotide, Caming Pharmaceutical Ltd develops new technology for pharmaceutical chemicals and Warshel Chemical Ltd is the expert of Advanced Materials and Performance Chemicals including Catalysts, Resins, Electronic Chemicals and Agrochemicals.

FCAD helps clients from different fields to develop their required fine chemicals or formulations. From pharmaceutical materials to diagnostic reagents, cruing agent to construction chemicals, photographic formulations to electronic intermediates, cosmetics ingredients to flavors, FCAD and the subsidiaries try to achieve high quality by the most economic route. Our clients include GE, P&G, Siemens, Sony, Pfizer, Merck, AstraZeneca, Sigma-Aldrich, TCI and so on.

Use

5-hydroxymethylfurfural CAS 67-47-0(HMF) is the key intermediate of 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid CAS 3238-40-2 which 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 is in the range of $1.00 – 3.00/lb for uses as films and thermoplastic engineering polymers. The versatility of FDCA is also seen in the number of derivatives available via relatively simple chemical transformations. Selective reduction can lead to partially hydrogenated products,such as 2,5-dihydroxymethylfuran, and fully hydrogenated materials, such as 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran. Both of these latter materials can serve as alcohol components in the production of new polyester, and their combination with FDCA would lead to a new family of completely biomass-derived products. Extension of these concepts to the production of new nylons, either through reaction of FDCA with diamines, or through the conversion of FDCA to 2,5-bis(aminomethyl)tetrahydrofuran could address a market of almost 9 billion lb/yr, with product values between $0.85 and 2.20/lb, depending on the application. FDCA can also serve as a starting material for the production of succinic acid, whose utility is elsewhere.
