TFC biomass based chemicals

TransFurans Chemicals is the pioneer in biobased chemicals.

TFC_PRODUCT1

At TFC, we make bio-based resins and chemicals from renewable raw materials. Together, we work with our customers on innovative and sustainable applications for our products from the construction to the transport sector.

For 50 years, we have been producing basic chemicals from renewable raw materials. Our chemistry is based on agricultural waste products and is a good example of a proven sustainable business.

Products
Our process starts with the pentosan-rich waste fraction left over after processing agricultural crops. An example is bagasse, the woody stem waste left over after sugar production from sugarcane. Bagasse is a valuable high-energy source for furan chemicals. At our plant in Belgium, we use these chemicals to polymerise into polyfurfuryl alcohol (PFA or Poly-FA).


Poly-FA is a liquid thermoset available in a wide viscosity range. Curing creates a hard, stiff and highly cross-linked polymer with unique properties at high temperatures. This polymer is an ideal matrix for the production of fire-resistant fibre-reinforced plastics.
