Treemera FDCA - the bio-based chemical for modern plastics production

Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is the future of sustainable plastics production. It’s a versatile bio-based platform chemical, enabling the development of a wide range of high-performance materials that outperform petrochemical alternatives in many respects. Treemera FDCA meets the quality and economic requirements for these new materials and is a big step towards more sustainable production. Whether co-polyesters, polyamides, polyurethanes, thermosets or plasticizers, Treemera FDCA-based materials combine performance, durability and environmental awareness.

Innovative co-polyesters based on FDCA - the future of sustainable materials

Co-polyesters made from the bio-based Treemera FDCA offer an environmentally friendly and high-performance alternative to conventional plastics. The polycondensation of FDCA with versatile diols such as ethylene glycol or 1,3-propanediol produces high-quality polyester chains. These co-polyesters not only impress with their excellent mechanical properties, but also with their impressive biocompatibility. They are the ideal choice for companies that want to use sustainable, high-performance materials and replace petrochemical plastics with green alternatives.

Polyamides based on FDCA - highest performance and stability

Polyamides made with Treemera FDCA offer an outstanding combination of thermal stability and barrier properties. The polycondensation of FDCA with diamines such as hexamethylenediamine produces polyamides that offer extreme heat resistance and excellent chemical resistance. These innovative high-performance biobased furan polyamides are the ideal choice for demanding industrial applications where durability and reliability are essential.

Polyurethanes made from FDCA - sustainability and versatility combined

The future of polyurethane production is bio-based! Using Treemera FDCA as a building block, polyurethanes can be developed that improve both the mechanical properties and the environmental impact. The reaction of FDCA with polyols and isocyanates creates highly adaptable materials – from flexible foams to robust elastomers. These polyurethanes combine maximum functionality with the demand for sustainability and thus conserve resources without compromising on quality.

FDCA-based thermosets - strong, durable and reliable

Treemera FDCA is also revolutionizing the world of thermosets. The cross-linking of FDCA with resins creates materials that are suitable for the most demanding requirements thanks to their irreversible hardening. Excellent mechanical strength and thermal stability make these thermosets ideal for high-performance components and protective coatings. They are perfect for areas where durability and longevity are important.

Sustainable plasticizers with FDCA - flexibility meets environmental awareness

Treemera FDCA offers an environmentally friendly solution for the production of plasticizers. These innovative plasticizers, which are produced by esterifying FDCA with short-chain alcohols, offer an environmentally friendly and safe alternative to conventional phthalate plasticizers. Ideal for flexible polymers such as PVC, FDCA-based plasticizers enable the production of plastics that are both functional and sustainable.
