  • Applications

    2,5-Furandimethanol is a biobased diol used as a building block for furans-based polyesters and polyurethanes; it acts as a polyol in coatings, inks, and adhesives to improve film formation and durability; it serves as a precursor for furan-based resins and specialty polymers used in various industrial applications; and it is an intermediate in the synthesis of bio-based polymers and packaging materials.
