Cathay Industrial Biotech Ltd (Cathay), a leader in industrial biotechnology, has provided long-chain diacids (LCDA) since 2003 to the polymer industry. The successful start-up of the 1,5 pentane diamime (DN5) in 2013 added a diamine to Cathay\u2019s monomer platform. This new diamine is produced from 100% plant sugars using a patented process developed in Cathay\u2019s Shanghai Research Center.<\/p>\n
Using Cathay monomers Cathay is developing a family of polymers. The first to be launched is Terryl\u00ae, a polymer targeting the textile market. It improves skin feel, higher moisture absorbance, improved dye absorbance and 47% renewable carbon. Terryl\u00ae is produced in a proprietary continuous-flow process from plant sugars.<\/p>\n
“Terryl is a revolutionary polymer offering performance attributes previously unavailable to the fiber markets from synthetic materials. Customer response has been phenomenal.” explains Dr. Xiucai Liu, CEO.<\/p>\n
Terryl\u00ae, PA56 and DN5 will be made in Cathay\u2019s Shandong (People\u2019s Republic of China)-based LCDA fermentation facilities which currently produce carbon 11 to carbon 15 diacids that are distributed worldwide through Cathay\u2019s own distribution network. Terryl\u00ae, PA56 and DN5 will be distributed through the same network. Samples for all are currently available.
