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 Biobased Material Manufacturers and 5- Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) 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.

We supply HMF in two purity tiers to match your process requirements:
Custom packaging and bulk quantities (drums, IBCs, isotanks) are available upon request. Each lot is shipped with a certificate of analysis (COA) confirming purity, moisture content, and key physical properties.
HMF contains both an aldehyde group and a hydroxymethyl group on a furan ring, giving it high reactivity for downstream derivatisation. It serves as a versatile building block for:
Our HMF can be converted through oxidation, hydrogenation, esterification, halogenation, polymerisation, and hydrolysis into high-value derivatives including 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), 2,5-Furandiyldimethanol (FDM), and Poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PEF).
We pioneered continuous production technology for HMF at industrial scale. After one year of stable operation on a 100-ton line, we commissioned a 1,000-ton fructose-based production line in July 2023, achieving a total capacity of 2,000 tons per year. This process ensures batch-to-batch consistency and high purity.
Quality control is embedded at every stage: in-process checks after each reaction step, followed by full inspection of final product against customer specifications and international standards. Our in-house testing laboratory is equipped with advanced analytical instruments to verify purity, moisture, and physical parameters before release.
HMF is sensitive to air, light, and heat, and is strongly hygroscopic. To maintain product integrity:
We provide detailed handling instructions and safety data sheets (SDS) with every shipment.
To prepare a precise quotation and product recommendation, we need the following project information:
Our technical team can also provide samples for qualification and assist with process optimisation for your specific reaction system.
We support procurement and engineering teams with:
Our products comply with international standards and are exported to European and American markets. We are committed to responsive communication – inquiries are answered within 12 working hours.
What is the difference between industrial grade and high-purity HMF?
Industrial grade (≥98%) is suitable for bulk chemical synthesis and resin production. High-purity grade (≥99.9%) is required for pharmaceutical intermediates and high-value polymer applications where trace impurities affect downstream performance.
How is HMF packaged and shipped?
Standard packaging: 200 g (high-purity) and 1 kg (industrial) in sealed containers. Bulk options include drums, IBCs, and isotanks. All shipments include COA and SDS.
What is the shelf life of HMF under recommended storage conditions?
When stored sealed at ≤0 °C in a dry, inert atmosphere, HMF maintains specified purity for at least 12 months. We recommend using within 6 months for optimal performance.
Can you provide samples for process validation?
Yes, we supply samples (typically 200 g or 1 kg) for qualification. Contact our sales team with your application details to arrange sample shipment.
What is your production capacity and lead time?
Our annual capacity is 2,000 tons. Lead time depends on volume and grade; standard orders are typically dispatched within 2–4 weeks after order confirmation.
Do you offer custom purity or packaging specifications?
Yes, we can tailor purity requirements and packaging formats to meet your project needs. Please provide your specifications during the inquiry stage.
