2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA) Technical Data Sheet (TDS)

Basic Information

Item Details
English Name 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA)
Chinese Name Er Wu Fu Nan Er Jia Suan (2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid)
CAS No. 3238-40-2
Molecular Formula C?H?O?
Molecular Weight 156.09 g/mol
Source from factory East Chemsources - best price
Chemical Classification Bio-based platform chemical; aromatic dicarboxylic acid
Appearance (General) Off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder

Physical Properties

Property Value Test Method
Melting Point 342–348 °C (decomposes) ASTM D3418
Boiling Point Decomposes before boiling
Density (25 °C) 1.68 g/cm³ (crystalline) Pycnometer method
Solubility - Slightly soluble in water (≈0.1 g/100 mL at 25 °C)- Soluble in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and hot ethanol- Insoluble in non-polar solvents (hexane, toluene) Gravimetric method
Sublimation Temperature ≈280 °C (under reduced pressure)
Crystal Structure Monoclinic X-ray diffraction
Bulk Density 0.5–0.7 g/cm³ (powder form) ASTM D1895

Chemical Properties

Property Description
Reactivity - Typical dicarboxylic acid reactivity: undergoes esterification, amidation, and polycondensation reactions- Reacts with diols (e.g., ethylene glycol) to form polyesters (e.g., PEF: Polyethylene furanoate)- Stable under ambient conditions; decomposes at high temperatures (>340 °C) to form CO? and furan derivatives
Stability - Stable in dry, cool environments- Hygroscopic; absorbs moisture to form clumps (does not affect chemical purity)- Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents and strong bases
Corrosivity Non-corrosive to most metals (stainless steel, glass) under normal conditions; may react with alkaline metals (e.g., sodium)
Biodegradability Bio-based precursor (derived from fructose, glucose, or lignocellulosic biomass); end products (e.g., PEF) exhibit better biodegradability than petroleum-based polyesters (e.g., PET)

Purity and Specifications

Grade Type Purity (Min.) Moisture (Max.) Ash Content (Max.) Heavy Metals (Max.) Color (APHA) (Max.)
Industrial Grade 99.0% 0.5% 0.1% 10 ppm 50
Pharmaceutical Grade 99.5% 0.2% 0.05% 5 ppm 30
Research Grade 99.8% 0.1% 0.02% 1 ppm 20

Key Applications

  1. Biobased Polyesters (Core Application): Precursor for polyethylene furanoate (PEF), a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based polyethylene terephthalate (PET). PEF is used in plastic bottles, food packaging, and fibers, with better gas barrier properties (CO?, O?) than PET.
  2. Coatings and Adhesives: Used to synthesize high-performance, biodegradable coatings for metal, wood, and plastic substrates; improves adhesion and chemical resistance of water-based adhesives.
  3. Pharmaceutical and Agrochemical Intermediates: Precursor for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and crop protection agents; its furan ring structure enhances biological activity of target compounds.
  4. Functional Polymers: Used in the production of polyamides, polyimides, and polyurethanes for high-temperature engineering plastics and electronic materials.
  5. Biodegradable Plastics: Blended with other biopolymers (e.g., PLA, PHA) to improve thermal stability and mechanical properties of compostable plastics.

Processing and Handling

Processing Notes
  • Polycondensation: React with diols (e.g., ethylene glycol) at 200–250 °C under nitrogen atmosphere to form PEF; catalysts (e.g., titanium isopropoxide) may be used to accelerate reaction.
  • Powder Handling: Avoid dust generation; use closed systems (e.g., vacuum conveyors) to prevent inhalation of fine particles.
  • Dissolution: For laboratory or small-scale processing, dissolve in DMSO or DMF at 60–80 °C with stirring.
Safety Precautions
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear dust mask (N95 or equivalent), nitrile gloves, and safety goggles during handling to prevent contact with skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.
  • Hygiene: Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling; avoid eating, drinking, or smoking in processing areas.
  • Waste Disposal: Dispose of unused material or waste in accordance with local environmental regulations; do not discharge into water bodies or sewers.

Storage and Packaging

Item Requirements
Storage Conditions Store in sealed, airtight containers (e.g., fiber drums with inner plastic liners) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area; avoid direct sunlight, high temperature (>30 °C), and moisture.
Shelf Life 24 months from date of manufacture when stored under recommended conditions
Packaging Specifications - Industrial Grade: 25 kg fiber drums, 500 kg bulk bags- Pharmaceutical/Research Grade: 1 kg, 5 kg sealed glass bottles or aluminum foil bags

Safety Information (SDS Summary)

Hazard Class Description
Physical Hazards None (non-flammable, non-explosive)
Health Hazards - Mild eye and skin irritant (if in contact with moist skin or eyes)- Dust may cause respiratory irritation if inhaled in large quantities
Environmental Hazards Low toxicity to aquatic organisms; biodegradable in natural environments
First Aid Measures
  • Eye Contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water for 15–20 minutes; seek medical attention if irritation persists.
  • Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing; wash affected area with soap and water.
  • Inhalation: Move to fresh air; provide oxygen if breathing is difficult.
  • Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting; seek medical attention immediately.

Remarks

  1. This TDS applies to FDCA derived from biomass feedstocks (e.g., fructose). Petroleum-derived FDCA may have slightly different impurity profiles.
  2. Customized purity grades and packaging options are available upon request.
  3. FDCA is a key component of the circular economy; its production and application reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower carbon emissions.
