2, 5-Furandicarboxylic Acid Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015-2023

Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/26/2015 -- 2, 5 Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is an oxidized furan derivative. It is an important renewable organic compound which can be used as a substitute for terephthalic acid (PTA) in the production of polyesters. FDCA can be synthesized in four stages viz. dehydrahation of hexose derivatives, oxidation of 2, 5-disubstituted furans, catalytic conversions of various furan derivatives and biological conversion of HMF. In addition, FDCA is detected in human urine. A human body produces 3-5 mg/day. 2, 5 furandicarboxylic acid is also known as dehydromucic acid. FDCA is a stable compound with high melting point. Synthesis of FDCA is a patented process.
