Hydroxymethylfurfural Application scenarios
1. Chemical Intermediates and Platform Chemicals
As a key raw material, it can be used to synthesize various high-value-added fine chemicals such as 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), 2,5-dimethylfuran, and levulinic acid through reactions such as oxidation and hydrogenation. These derivatives are the basis for products such as fuel additives, fragrances, solvents, and surfactants.
2. Novel Bio-based Materials
Its derivative FDCA is a key monomer for the production of bio-based polyester PEF. Compared with common petroleum-based PET plastics, PEF has better gas barrier properties and mechanical strength, and can naturally degrade within one year, making it suitable for packaging and fiber products.
3. Pharmaceuticals and Testing
• Pharmaceutical intermediates: It can be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of certain drugs.
• Testing standard substance: In pharmaceutical quality control, it is used to detect metabolic products produced during the sterilization and storage of glucose injection solutions.
4. Food Sector
• Natural occurrence and limits: It is a substance naturally produced in foods such as honey and fruit juices during heating or storage. The EU stipulates a limit of 40 mg/kg in honey.
• Food flavors and fragrances: It can be used as a raw material for food-grade flavors and fragrances.
5.其他特殊应用
• Fuels and additives: Its derivatives (such as 2,5-dimethylfuran) can be used as potential clean fuels or fuel additives.
• Formaldehyde substitute: It can be used as an alternative to formaldehyde in some applications.
• Feed additives: There are reports of its application in feed additives.
