Not long ago, DuPont Industrial Biosciences and Archer Daniels Midland announced a new breakthrough process in producing FDME from fructose, with \u201cthe potential to expand the materials landscape in the 21st century with exciting and truly novel, high-performance renewable materials\u201d, the companies said in a joint release.<\/p>\n
FDME is furan dicarboxylic methyl ester.\u00a0The technology has applications in packaging, textiles, engineering plastics and many other industries.<\/p>\n
One of the first polymers under development utilizing FDME is polytrimethylene furandicarboxylate (PTF), a novel polyester also made from DuPont\u2019s proprietary Bio-PDO (1,3-propanediol). PTF is a 100-percent renewable and recyclable polymer that, when used to make bottles and other beverage packages, substantially improves gas-barrier properties compared to other polyesters. This makes PTF a great choice for customers in the beverage packaging industry looking to improve the shelf life of their products.<\/p>\n
DuPont Industrial Biosciences\u2019 ebullient business director for biomaterials, Michael Saltzberg, gave this illuminating overview of DuPont and ADM\u2019s progress towards FDME in this presentation deck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
