FDME serves as a versatile building block across multiple industries. Our customers use it primarily for:
We produce FDME from HMF using a catalytic oxidation and esterification process in our continuous production facility. Our factory, with over 70 acres of plant area and 1500 m² of office space, operates under strict quality control. Each batch undergoes in-process inspection and final full inspection per customer requirements and international standards. Our technical team, comprising more than 40 professionals out of 80+ employees, ensures product purity and batch stability.
FDME is supplied as a crystalline solid. Standard packaging options include sealed drums or bags, with custom packaging available upon request. Store in a sealed container at room temperature in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid exposure to moisture and extreme heat. For detailed safety data and handling guidelines, refer to our SDS provided with each shipment.
To prepare a precise quotation and product specification, we require the following project information:
Our sales and technical team responds within 12 working hours to provide a tailored proposal.
FDME is part of our integrated furan platform. Explore complementary products for your downstream processes:
Q: What is the typical purity of your FDME?
We supply FDME with purity suitable for polymerization and pharmaceutical intermediate applications. Specific purity grades are confirmed based on your process requirements. Contact us with your target specification.
Q: Can FDME be used directly in PEF polymerization?
Yes. FDME is the preferred monomer for transesterification polymerization with ethylene glycol to produce PEF. Its ester groups facilitate efficient reaction under standard polyester polymerization conditions.
Q: What is your production capacity for FDME?
Our HMF production capacity is 2000 tons/year, and FDME is produced downstream from HMF. We scale production based on customer demand. Please inquire for current availability and lead times.
Q: Do you provide samples for evaluation?
Yes. We can supply laboratory-scale samples for process development and qualification. Contact our team with your application details to arrange sample shipment.
Q: How is FDME shipped and what is the shelf life?
FDME is shipped as a solid in sealed containers. When stored properly at room temperature away from moisture, it remains stable for extended periods. Refer to the Certificate of Analysis for batch-specific stability data.
Q: What documentation do you provide with each shipment?
Each shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis (CoA), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and packing list. Additional documents such as REACH compliance, origin certificate, or phytosanitary certificate can be arranged upon request.
