PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), also known as furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid, is an important organic chemical. Due to its unique structure, carboxylic acid building block and renewability, it is considered a potential alternative to terephthalic acid (benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid) in the polyester industry for the manufacture of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) for the manufacture of plastic bottles and clothing.
