2, 5- Tetrahydrofuran dicarboxylic acid (THFDCA)

2, 5- Tetrahydrofuran dicarboxylic acid (THFDCA)

THFDCA is a saturated furan compound mainly prepared by catalytic selective hydrogenation of FDCA or oxidation of THFDM. THFDCA has a similar structure to FDCA and can be used as a new biobased polymeric monomer to prepare polyester, polyamide, polyurethane, and other polymer materials. In addition, THFDCA can also be used as a synthetic raw material for adipic acid, adipate, and drug precursors.

2,5-Tetrahydrofuran Dicarboxylic Acid (THFDCA) – Bio-Based Saturated Furan Monomer

As a 2 5 Tetrahydrofuran Dicarboxylic Acid manufacturer, we match product configuration to the application, operating limits, interfaces and acceptance criteria defined for each project.

Zhejiang Sugar Energy Technology Co., Ltd. supplies high-purity 2,5-Tetrahydrofuran dicarboxylic acid (THFDCA) as a saturated furan monomer for advanced polymer and chemical synthesis. As a professional 2,5-Tetrahydrofuran dicarboxylic acid (THFDCA) manufacturer and supplier, we produce THFDCA via catalytic selective hydrogenation of FDCA or controlled oxidation of THFDM, ensuring consistent purity and batch-to-batch stability for industrial-scale applications.

Application Fit and Polymer Integration

THFDCA shares a structural backbone with FDCA but features a saturated tetrahydrofuran ring, which imparts greater flexibility and toughness to resulting polymers. We supply THFDCA for the production of:

  • Polyesters – improved mechanical properties and biodegradability compared to FDCA-based polyesters.
  • Polyamides – enhanced thermal stability and processability for engineering plastics.
  • Polyurethanes – flexible and rigid foams with tailored performance.
  • Adipic acid and adipates – as a renewable precursor for nylon 6,6 and plasticizers.
  • Pharmaceutical intermediates – high-purity building block for drug synthesis.

Production Process and Quality Control

Our THFDCA is manufactured through two established routes: catalytic selective hydrogenation of 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) or oxidation of 2,5-Tetrahydrofuran dimethanol (THFDM). Both processes are carried out in our dedicated facility with in-process and final product inspection per customer specifications and international standards. We perform full inspection on each lot, covering purity, melting point, moisture, and residual catalyst content.

Packaging, Storage and Handling

  • Packaging: 25 kg fiber drums or as agreed per project volume.
  • Storage: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from light.
  • Shelf life: 12 months under recommended storage conditions.
  • Handling: Use standard PPE for organic acids; avoid dust formation.

Information We Use to Prepare Your Proposal

To configure the right THFDCA supply for your process, we typically request:

  • Target application (polymer type, chemical intermediate, pharmaceutical use).
  • Required purity and any critical impurity limits (e.g., metals, moisture, residual solvent).
  • Annual or per-order volume and preferred packaging.
  • Delivery location and logistics requirements.
  • Any existing technical specifications or test methods you use.

Our technical team can provide a material safety data sheet (MSDS), certificate of analysis (COA), and small samples for qualification before scale-up.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the typical purity of your THFDCA?

We supply THFDCA with a standard purity ≥98% (HPLC). Higher purity grades can be discussed based on your application requirements.

2. Can THFDCA replace FDCA in my existing polyester formulation?

THFDCA has a saturated ring structure that yields more flexible polymers. We recommend testing a sample in your formulation; our technical team can advise on processing adjustments.

3. Do you provide samples for pre-qualification?

Yes, we offer free samples (typically 100–500 g) for evaluation. You only cover shipping costs. Contact us with your intended application to request a sample.

4. What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ) for THFDCA?

Our standard MOQ is 25 kg (one drum). For larger volume commitments, we can negotiate a production schedule and pricing.

5. How do you ensure batch-to-batch consistency?

We follow a strict quality management system with in-process checks and final product testing. Each batch is issued a COA with measured values for purity, melting point, and other key parameters.

6. What is the lead time for a standard order?

Typical lead time is 2–3 weeks after order confirmation and payment. For urgent requirements, please discuss with our sales team for expedited options.
