Introduction to FDME
FDME, also known as dimethyl 25 furandicarboxylate (CAS 4282-32-0) or dimethyl furan 25 dicarboxylate, is an esterified derivative of HMF, featuring outstanding chemical and thermal stability. It serves as a versatile intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, coatings, resins, and other high-performance materials.
As a key monomer in the synthesis of PEF (polyethylene furanoate) via transesterification, FDME provides a critical building block for the development of next-generation, sustainable polyester solutions.
