Unlocking 5-Carbon Chemistry



Unlocking 5-Carbon Chemistry


Why Does 5-Carbon Matter?

Molecules consisting of even and odd number of carbons behave differently, significantly impacting the properties of products used in everyday life.

Today, companies around the world are paying a substantial premium for access to 5-carbon molecules, as they are difficult to extract from petroleum.

Pyran has been able to develop the world’s only clean technology that can intentionally produce 5-carbon products.

Pyran’s 1,5-PDO Delivers a Triple Win

 Until now, diol customers have been forced to choose between limited, high cost 1,5-PDO supplies or using a 6-carbon diol. Pyran’s initial product 1,5-PDO (pentanediol) is changing that paradigm, enabling:

Performance

1,5-PDO polyols that perform better on heat, water, oil and weather resistance.

Low Cost

Pyran’s proprietary process yields 1,5-PDO at prices equivalent to or below those of 1,6-HDO.

Renewable

Pyran converts renewable agricultural products into 1,5-PDO with no harmful byproducts.
