Toyobo will start from 100% biological resin production plant

Toyobo in the country rock cause (Iwakuni, Yamaguchi county) produced by Holland biological Avantium development start-ups and 100% plant derived polyethylene furan ester polymer (PEF). In addition, Toyobo will also produce films using the PEF, in cooperation with Mitsui sales. Scheduled to start in 2017 to provide samples. The PEF has the characteristics of close to the polyester (PET), and the air tightness is higher than that of the PET when the film and the plastic bottle are formed. The air tightness of the oxygen is 10 times of PET, and the air tightness of the water vapor is 2 times of PET. The manufacturing method of PEF, which derived from biomass raw material made of furan carboxylic acid (FDCA) two for the polymerization of ethylene glycol from biomass. PET is made of ethylene glycol and ethylene glycol polymerization, mostly used in the oil from the oil and the source of ethylene glycol from biomass, so it is not 100% of the bio resin. In view of this situation, Avantium company has developed a method of using raw material, production has furan carboxylic acid and terephthalic acid similar structure two, achieved 100% from plants PEF. Toyobo has begun production of biomass with high melting point polyamide Vyloamide, amorphous polylactic acid resin "Vyloecol", and "part of the use of packaging film raw materials Bioprana biological resin. In the future, through the production of new PEF to expand the line of biological resin products.
