PEF
PEF (polyethylene furanedicarboxylate) is a 100% biomass sourced all-bio-based polyester material made from the condensation polymerization of the biobased platform compound FDCA (2, 5-furanedicarboxylic acid) with ethylene glycol. It is recognized as the next generation's most promising petroleum-based pet (polyethylene terephthalate) replacement material. Conventional forms are high-transparency flakes, films or fibers. With its unique furan ring molecular structure,
PEF comprehensively surpasses traditional pet in barrier properties, mechanical strength and thermal properties, is widely used in food and beverage packaging, textile fibers, electronic insulation materials and new energy energy storage, and can be further applied to carbonated beverage bottles, beer bottles, food preservation films, antibacterial textiles and film capacitors.

Key application areas
- High-performance food and beverage packaging:produces various types of bottle preforms, bottle flakes and thermoformed trays through the injection stretch blow molding process. Its gas barrier properties are significantly better than PET, which can greatly extend the shelf life of drinks and maintain flavor. It is suitable for carbonated beverage bottles, beer bottles, juice packaging, mineral water bottles and multi-layer composite food preservation packaging.
- Functional Textile Fiber:is melt-spun to produce intrinsic functional fiber, which can be efficiently blended with cotton, wool, Tencel, etc. It has antibacterial and anti-mite properties, intrinsic UV resistance, moisture absorption and quick drying, and high conformal anti-wrinkle properties without adding chemical additives.
- Electronic, electrical and new energy materials:utilizes the high dielectric constant and low loss characteristics brought by its polar furan ring structure and can be used in film capacitor media, printed sensors, smart label anti-counterfeiting, cable accessories and electrical energy-mechanical energy converters.
