Zhejiang Sugar Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (Sugar Energy Technology), established in 2017, is a national high-tech enterprise co-founded with participation from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences. As a professional China 5, 5' (oxy- bis (methylene) ) bis- 2- furfural (OBMF) Manufacturers and 5, 5' (oxy- bis (methylene) ) bis- 2- furfural (OBMF) Suppliers, focusing on the R&D, production and sales of bio-based furan new materials, the company leverages its advanced raw material production capabilities and downstream application innovation strengths to build a furan materials system of “1 high-end raw material + 5 platform molecules + N high-value products,” and aspires to become a leading bio-based materials enterprise driven by innovation and a strong sense of social responsibility.
Sugar Energy Technology’s flagship product, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), is derived from a wide range of biomass feedstocks, including starch, cellulose, sucrose and agar. Featuring rare dual reactive functional groups and an aromatic structure, HMF not only helps improve the performance of other bio-based materials, but also opens up broader possibilities for the modification of conventional fossil-based products.
Guided by its founding mission, “Shaping the Beauty of Biology, Creating New Materials,” and its vision of “Building the world’s leading HMF monomer platform and making bio-based materials accessible to all,” Sugar Energy Technology continues to move forward toward a greener and more sustainable future.

Zhejiang Sugar Energy Technology Co., Ltd. manufactures 5, 5' (oxy- bis (methylene) ) bis- 2- furfural (OBMF) manufacturer as a high-purity derivative of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). OBMF is produced via controlled self-etherification of HMF, yielding a difuranic dialdehyde that serves as a rigid, bio-based building block for polyamide, polyimide, and specialty polymer systems. We supply OBMF to R&D laboratories, pilot-scale developers, and industrial chemical manufacturers targeting sustainable alternatives to fossil-derived diamines and dialdehydes.
Our OBMF is part of the furan materials system built around HMF as the core raw material. With a 2,000-ton/year HMF production capacity and continuous process technology, we ensure consistent monomer quality for downstream derivatization. The product is available in research quantities (50 g) and can be scaled for custom orders.

OBMF contains two aldehyde functional groups connected by an ether-linked bis-furan backbone. This structure makes it suitable for:
We supply OBMF in the following standard configurations:
| Package | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| 50 g sealed bottle | R&D screening, small-scale synthesis |
| 500 g / 1 kg | Process development, pilot trials |
| Custom bulk (drums, IBC) | Industrial-scale production campaigns |
All packages are nitrogen-blanketed and shipped under temperature-controlled conditions to maintain stability during transit. We recommend storage at 2–8 °C upon receipt.
Each OBMF batch is tested in our in-house laboratory. Our quality program includes:
A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) accompanies every shipment. Additional characterization (TGA, DSC, elemental analysis) can be arranged on request.
OBMF is a stable solid under recommended storage conditions. Operators should follow standard chemical hygiene practices:
Shelf life is 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored at 2–8 °C in the original sealed container. We do not recommend freezing; condensation upon thawing may introduce moisture.
OBMF is designed for direct use in polymerization or organic synthesis without additional purification. For polyamide synthesis, typical reaction conditions involve solution or melt polycondensation with diamines under inert atmosphere. We can provide recommended reaction parameters and compatibility data upon request.
Our technical team supports scale-up from gram to multi-kilogram quantities. If you are developing a continuous process or require custom particle size distribution, contact us with your target specifications.

OBMF is one of several high-value derivatives we produce from HMF. Explore our complete furan materials range:
Q: What is the typical lead time for OBMF orders?
A: For standard 50 g to 1 kg packages, we ship within 5–7 working days after order confirmation. Bulk quantities (≥ 10 kg) require 2–3 weeks depending on production schedule and custom packaging.
Q: Can you provide a sample for evaluation?
A: Yes, we offer a 50 g sample for qualified R&D projects. Please submit a brief description of your application, and we will arrange shipment with a proforma invoice.
Q: Is OBMF REACH registered or TSCA listed?
A: OBMF is not yet REACH registered. We can provide regulatory status documentation and support your registration if needed. For TSCA, please confirm your jurisdiction; we will supply the relevant compliance data.
Q: What is the solubility of OBMF?
A: OBMF is soluble in common organic solvents such as ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, and THF. It has limited solubility in water. We can provide solubility screening data on request.
Q: Do you offer custom purity grades or particle sizes?
A: We can adjust purity specifications and milling to a target particle size for dedicated projects. Minimum order quantities apply for custom grades. Contact our technical sales team to discuss feasibility.
Q: How do you ensure batch-to-batch consistency?
A: Our HMF continuous production line (2,000 tons/year) provides a consistent starting material. OBMF is produced under controlled self-etherification conditions with in-process monitoring. Each batch is tested against release specifications before shipment.
