• Delta-amino levulinic acid (DALA) - a biodegradable herbicide (about 200-300m lb/yr at $2-3 / lb).• Diphenolic acid (DPA) - which can be used as a monomer forpolycarbonates and epoxy resins; used as a component in protective anddecorative finishes; or bromated to create a fire retardant andenvironmentally friendly marine coating. Viewed as a replacement forbisphenol A in the production of polycarbonates (about 4b lb/yr at$2.40/lb).• Methyletrahydrofuran (MTHF) - a high lubricity fuel additive for lowsulphur• 1,4-pentenediol - which could be used for the production of newpolyesters• b-acetylacyrilic acid - which could be used in the production of acrylicpolymers (about 2.3b lb/yr at $1.30/lb)• Succinic acid and its derivatives (another top 12 chemical building block)which can be used to derive:• Succinate salts used to produce deicing agents and its esters can beused in solvents and paints• Pyrrolidinones - used as solvents, industrial cleaners, surfactants,pharmaceuticals, crop protection intermediates• Polyvinyl pyrrolidinine (PVP) - used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics,toiletries, textiles, paper, beverages and detergents• 1,4-butanediol - a polymer intermediate• Tetrahydrofuran - a major solvent• Itaconic acid (another top 12 building block) an additive in polymericfibre blends to add toughness, etc.
