Cathay Biotech’s products, including a series of biological long-chain dibasic acids, bio-based pentamethylene diamine, and a series of bio-based polyamides, including TERRYL^® for textile applications and ECOPENT^® for engineering applications, have overcome many restrictions common to products made by traditional chemical methods or with petroleum-based materials. They provide more performance possibilities and more flexible selectivity aspects such as expanded application scenarios, performance improvements, advantageous cost and superior market competitiveness.

Cathay Biotech’s products are all made with biological production methods which are based on a biological transformation process at room temperature, near neutral pHs, non-toxic raw materials and ambient pressure, using natural green genes. Our bio-based pentamethylene diamine and the bio-based polyamides are all produced with renewable biomass raw materials. These products are all recyclable and environmentally friendly.
