Market

1 million pounds annually
According to the chemical profile at Scorecard, 1,3-propanediol is a high volume chemical with production exceeding 1 million pounds annually in the U.S. http://www.scorecard.org/chemical-profiles/summary.tcl?edf_substance_id=504-63-2
?Although 1,3-propanediol is a simple organic chemical, unlike other glycols it has historically been a high priced speciality. The high cost and limited availability has restricted its commercial use. A new proprietary process, developed by Shell Chemicals, combined with the economics of a world-scale production unit, allows PDO to be produced cost-efficiently and priced competitively with similar compounds. PDO can now be regarded as a viable industrial chemical intermediate.?
============
Applications
============
?PDO can be formulated into composites, adhesives, laminates, powder and UV-cured coatings, mouldings, novel aliphatic polyesters, copolyesters, solvents, anti-freeze and other end uses. Its most successful application to date has been in the formulation of CORTERRA Polymers, a polytrimethylene terephthalate. CORTERRA Polymers are principally used in the manufacture of carpet and textile fibres but are also finding applications as engineering thermoplastics, films and coatings.?

Growth
======
Because of a new proprietary process developed by Shell Chemicals there will be a rapid growth of this market.
160 million pounds of PDO per year
?PDO can now be produced much more cost efficiently and priced comparably to other similar compounds. Currently, the plant?s capacity is more than 160 million pounds of PDO per year (72 kta).?
APPLICATIONS
?In urethane-based polymer systems, PDO can be used as a chain extender. In thermoplastic urethanes, (TPU), its use can lead to improved thermal and hydrolytic as well as thermal dimensional stability. It can be used as the diol in polyester polyols and the mixed adipate ester of 1,3-propanediol with 1,4-butanediol is a liquid under most operational conditions.?
?PDO can be used to modify polyester systems. This property is particularly beneficial for the production of powder coatings where partial substitution of traditional glycols with PDO can produce coatings with improved flexibility without adversely affecting other key properties such as storage stability and outdoor weatherability.?
?In engine coolant formulations, PDO demonstrates improved heat stability, less corrosion especially to lead solder, and lower toxicity than ethylene glycol coolants, all important considerations for today?s highly engineered autos and trucks.?
?Solvent uses of PDO include water based inks such as ink-jet and screen inks.?
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
PDO demonstrates the characteristic chemical properties of an alcohol. Reactions include:
?Forms esters or diesters by reaction with acyl halides, anhydrides or acids
Forms ethers or diethers by reaction with alkyl halides or epoxides, or by dehydration May be oxidized to aldehydes and carboxylic acids
Reacts with aldehydes and ketones to form cyclic acetals and ketals
Forms urethanes on reaction with isocyanates
Reacts with hydrogen chloride, thionyl chloride or sulfur monochloride
to give 3-chloro-1-propanol (trimethylene chlorohydrin)
Forms cyclic compounds such as trimethylene carbonate and its oligomers,
and trimethylene borates.?

DuPont and Tate & Lyle scientists have developed a new method to use corn to produce 1,3 propanediol (PDO).
?This new product, Bio-PDO, is a key ingredient in the production of DuPont Sorona, the newest DuPont polymer for clothing, carpeting, plastics and many other possible uses.?
?The production of Bio-PDO consumes 30-40 percent less energy than petroleum-based PDO (on a per pound basis). Production of 100 million pounds of Bio-PDO in the Loudon plant will save the equivalent of 10 million gallons of gasoline per year.?
"The world is in a position today where we can no longer afford to rely solely on oil and oil-derived products to sustain us," DuPont?s Holliday said. "Biology-based solutions offer us the opportunity to transform economies by creating new, high-performance bio-materials that use less energy to manufacture, are preferred by our customers and are better for the long-term health of our economy and the environment."

DuPont scientists have known about PDO as a byproduct of petroleum, which made it too costly to make on a mass scale.
?Now researchers at the Wilmington, Del., company have found a way to produce PDO from a genetically engineered bacteria that acts like a tiny chemical factory, they said. It cranks out PDO after feeding on corn sugar, which is cheaper than oil and renewable.?
?DuPont bacteria will produce 100 million pounds of PDO in 2006, company officials hope. After seven years and an estimated $350 million to $400 million investment, DuPont has commercialized its Sorona polymer,"
?Sales of Sorona ? which will be woven into clothing, carpeting and car seats ? are expected to total $300 million to $600 million by 2010.?
20 million pounds a year
?Until then, DuPont wants to build up the market using the traditional petroleum-based fiber. The company is ramping up oil-based production at its North Carolina plant, said John Ranieri, vice president of applied biosciences. Production is currently sold out, at 20 million pounds a year.?
??the company expects to notch sales of $30 million in 2005, double this year's level. DuPont wants to expand the Sorona market in Asia, a huge textile market.?

From the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (2002)
?PDO is used to make a new class of polymers with enhanced functionality. The market for PDO is currently about 100 million pounds and is growing very rapidly, as new products are developed to capitalize upon the functionality of the polymers that can be synthesized from PDO. This market offers a significant opportunity to develop new, cost-competitive processes that utilize renewable feedstocks to produce PDO. Introduction of such processes would avoid the use of more petroleum, provide substantial energy savings (10 to 19 trillion Btu), and afford significant market penetration for the burgeoning bio-products industry. Corn-derived glucose is a logical consideration for a renewable feedstock to produce PDO, as corn refiners are a concentrated, low-cost source of biomass that can achieve the production scales necessary to match the projected demand for PDO. Research conducted at PNNL indicates that it is possible to develop a new fermentation system exploiting proprietary collections of filamentous fungi to convert corn-derived glucose to an organic acid intermediate that can then be converted to PDO using one of PNNL?s proprietary catalysts. The proposed program supported development of a new fermentation organism to produce malonic acid at high yields, as well as engineering design to develop fermentation processes to produce malonic acid at suitable scale and purity. The program also supported development and demonstration of the catalysis processes to convert the malonic acid to PDO. Finally, the program supported scale-up engineering and demonstration of the processes at an appropriate pilot scale.?

1,3-Propanediol Production From Renewable Feedstock
?Increasing environmental awareness and the recognition of limited future petroleum supplies have help drive companies like DuPont into looking for alternative and sustainable feedstocks for their carbon-based products. Genetic engineering of E. coli to produce 1,3-propanediol (PDO) from D-glucose at high yields and titers is one highly successful example. This was accomplished by utilizing genes from two separate natural strains which can either ferment glucose to glycerol or utilize glycerol as a carbon source to produce PDO as a by-product. The new recombinant E. coli strain was then further genetically modified to improve yields and titers to commercially viable values. This then allowed for a commercial process based on a renewable resource corn sugar that is more economical, less capital intensive, more environmentally friendly than the current chemical process based on petroleum products. The success of the bioprocess is key to future growth of DuPont's newest polymer product Sorona.?
