5-Hydroxymethyl Furfural, or HMF (CAS 67-47-0), is a fascinating organic compound with a growing presence in industrial applications. Derived from the dehydration of sugars, its unique chemical structure—a furan ring bearing both aldehyde and alcohol functional groups—makes it a valuable intermediate. Available from NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. as a light yellow crystal or amber liquid, HMF is a product of sophisticated chemical synthesis, and understanding its production and properties is key to appreciating its industrial significance.

The production of HMF typically involves the acid-catalyzed dehydration of hexoses, such as fructose. While naturally occurring in small amounts in heated, sugar-rich foods, industrial-scale production requires controlled chemical processes to achieve desired purity and yield. Our company, as a dedicated HMF manufacturer, employs advanced synthesis techniques to ensure a consistent and high-quality product. We focus on achieving a minimum purity of 95.0%, which is critical for its downstream applications, especially in the pharmaceutical sector.

The properties of HMF are integral to its utility. Its melting point around 30-36 °C means it can exist as either a low-melting solid or a liquid at slightly elevated temperatures, offering flexibility in handling and processing. The characteristic aroma it imparts makes it valuable as a spice intermediate, enhancing flavor profiles in baked goods and other food items. For industries requiring precise chemical compounds, understanding these physical and chemical attributes is paramount when making procurement decisions.

For businesses looking to buy HMF, the origin and reliability of the supplier are critical factors. As a prominent manufacturer in China, we offer a competitive advantage through economies of scale and efficient production processes. This allows us to provide attractive HMF prices to our clients, whether they are purchasing in bulk for large-scale manufacturing or in smaller quantities for research and development. We are committed to transparency and encourage inquiries for detailed quotes.

Beyond its established uses, HMF's potential as a 'carbon-neutral' feedstock is a significant area of development. Its bio-based origin aligns with the global shift towards sustainable chemistry, positioning HMF as a key player in the future of renewable fuels and materials. As industries increasingly seek greener alternatives, reliable access to compounds like HMF will be essential. Our role as a steadfast chemical supplier ensures that this valuable compound remains readily available to drive innovation in these emerging fields.

In summary, 5-Hydroxymethyl Furfural is a compound of significant industrial value, driven by its unique chemistry, versatile applications, and renewable origins. We invite you to explore the possibilities of HMF by partnering with NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., your trusted source for high-quality HMF.
