Polyethylene 2,5-Furandicarboxylate (PEF)

Product Overview
Polyethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate (PEF) is a polyester synthesized from 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and ethylene glycol through a polycondensation reaction. Compared to traditional petroleum-based polyesters like PET, PEF offers superior performance in areas such as gas barrier properties, heat resistance, colorability, and mechanical strength. Due to its high barrier properties, PEF shows great potential for applications in high-performance packaging materials, fibers, and engineering plastics.

Product Features

• Excellent Gas Barrier Properties:PEF offers superior gas barrier properties compared to traditional PET, making it ideal for packaging materials that require high preservation qualities.
• Higher Heat Resistance:With a higher heat resistance, PEF is suitable for applications requiring greater thermal stability and higher filling temperatures.
• Stronger Mechanical Properties:PEF has better mechanical strength than PET, making it suitable for more demanding applications.
• Eco-friendly and Sustainable:As a bio-based polyester, PEF is synthesized from renewable resources such as plants, aligning with sustainable development goals.

Applications

• Packaging Industry:Used in the production of high-performance bottles and film materials, widely applied in the food and beverage packaging sectors.
• Textile Industry:Used to manufacture high-performance fibers, enhancing durability and environmental sustainability.
• Engineering Plastics:Due to its mechanical and thermal properties, PEF can be utilized in various industrial and engineering applications.
