5, 5' (oxy- bis (methylene) ) bis- 2- furfural (OBMF) Industry knowledge

5, 5' (Oxy-bis (methylene)) bis- 2- furfural (OBMF) – Bio-Based Dimer for Advanced Polymers

As a 5 5 Oxy Bis Methylene Bis 2 Furfural manufacturer, we match product configuration to the application, operating limits, interfaces and acceptance criteria defined for each project.

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.

Physical and Chemical Specifications

Property Value
Product Name 5, 5' (oxy- bis (methylene)) bis- 2- furfural (OBMF)
CAS Number 7389-38-0

Purity (HPLC) ≥ 99.9%

Application Fit and Target Industries

OBMF contains two aldehyde functional groups connected by an ether-linked bis-furan backbone. This structure makes it suitable for:

  • Bio-based polyamides and polyimides: OBMF acts as a dialdehyde monomer in condensation polymerizations, producing rigid, thermally stable polymers with reduced carbon footprint compared to petroleum-based aromatic diamines.
  • Heterocyclic ligand synthesis: The furan rings and aldehyde groups enable coordination chemistry for catalyst design and metal-organic frameworks.
  • Pharmaceutical intermediates: OBMF is a precursor for hepatitis antiviral drug intermediates, leveraging the furan dialdehyde motif for heterocyclic ring construction.
  • Crosslinking and resin modifiers: The difunctional aldehyde can serve as a crosslinker in bio-based epoxy and phenolic resin systems.

Configuration Options and Packaging

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.

Quality Assurance and Acceptance Testing

Each OBMF batch is tested in our in-house laboratory. Our quality program includes:

  • HPLC purity analysis (≥ 99.9% area normalization)
  • Melting point determination by DSC
  • FTIR and ¹H-NMR structural confirmation
  • Moisture content (Karl Fischer) and residual solvent analysis
  • Appearance: off-white to light yellow crystalline powder

A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) accompanies every shipment. Additional characterization (TGA, DSC, elemental analysis) can be arranged on request.

Handling, Safety, and Maintenance

OBMF is a stable solid under recommended storage conditions. Operators should follow standard chemical hygiene practices:

  • Use in a well-ventilated fume hood or with local exhaust ventilation.
  • Wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and lab coat.
  • Avoid inhalation of dust; use a NIOSH-approved respirator if airborne particles are generated.
  • Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
  • In case of skin contact, wash with soap and water.

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.

Integration with Downstream Processes

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.

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.
