YXY Building Blocksとは 意味・読み方・使い方

YXY is a brand name for furan based building blocks developed by the high throughput company Avantium. Furanics (e.g. 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid, HMF, furfural) have been referred to as “Sleeping Giants” because of their enormous market potential, as evidenced by the research of DuPont and DSM in this area and its position in the US Department of Energy top 12 of high-potential biobased products. YXY building blocks have a different manufacturing process than the traditional pursued routes towards HMF (minimizing the water content without using exotic solvents such as ionic liquids and DMSO/MIBK). YXY is a trademark of Avantium of the Netherlands.
