Our C5 Technology

At Pyran, we have harnessed the power of nature to produce 1,5-PDO, a green 5-carbon alternate to the petroleum based 4- and 6-carbon diols that the world is currently limited by.

Unlocks the Potential for:

Image

1. Enhancing Performance

  • Increased polymer heat, water, oil and weather resistance
  • Increased thermal transition temperature and crystallization half time
  • Increased liquid phase processibility
Image

2. Easily Replacing Petroleum-Based Chemicals

Our customers have verified Pyran’s 1,5-PDO can:

  • Directly substitute for petroleum-based 1,5-PDO
  • Be considered a suitable replacement for 1,6-hexanediol in resins used for coatings
  • Demonstrate slightly better viscosity reduction that HDDA in certain applications

3. Improving Your Environmental Footprint

Our proprietary process reduces over 95% of greenhouse gas emissions compared to petroleum and carbon-neutral process with no harmful byproducts.

4. Reducing Cost

Pyran’s propriety process has high yield and is the only process in the world that makes ‘on-purpose’ 1,5-PDO allowing for lower costs.
