Fluorene Bisphenol (or Bisphenol F or BHPF or BPF) Monomer.

This diol has a highly aromatic structure known as cardo structure. Because of the presence of the aromatic rings, the materials having a cardo structure exhibit high thermal resistance and high refractive index. In addition, the spatial arrangement of these structures in polymers inhibit the formation of crystalline domains, thus giving birth to amorphous materials with negligible birefringence.

High quality Fluorene Bisphenol is available from Ferrania Chemicals in three purity grades:

Fluorene Bisphenol Derivatives

Ferrania Chemicals is actively developing reactive monomers based on Fluorene Bisphenol such as Acrylates, Epoxies, etc. 
All these materials inherit the thermal and optical properties of the cardo structure of Fluorene Bisphenol and are recommended for improvement of thermal resistance and increase of refractive index in curable formulations. Please inquire with us for further information and availability. Let us know about your project and special needs and we will be happy to support you with our materials and expertise in optical grade resins.

PolyArylate (PAR) polymer - CAS n. 28906-27-6

The polyarylate (Fluorene Polyester or FPE) obtained by the reaction of Fluorene Bisphenol with phtalic chlorides is truly an outstanding material. Please check the table for main properties and inquire with us for further details and offers. Arylate copolymers with mixed Fluorene Bisphenol and Bisphenol A structures yield resins suitable for optical grade injection molding applications.

Hardcoat Formulations

Customized formulations are available for high quality hardcoats, conceived for excellent thermal stability, adhesion to substrates, surface hardness and clarity. Performance can be tailored to specific requirements:

R&D in High-performance films

Plastic has always shown promise as an alternative substrate system for display applications.
However, plastic's inherent advantages of flexibility, comformability, lightweight and impact resistance offered only part of the solution for these demanding applications.
That is, until now.

Now, Ferrania Chemicals has created alternative materials providing the range of temperature stability, superior optics, chemical resistance and exceptional dimensional stability you need for display applications.

By commercializing leading-edge technologies, developed through years of experience in chemistry, coatings, polymers and film processing, these new materials are uniquely positioned to provide new opportunities for choice and high levels of performance.

These choices afford virtually limitless possibilities for incorporating one or more of the materials in your advanced display designs. What's more, the robustness of the systems hold great promise for roll-to-roll processing, and a new generation of cost-effective manufacturing.
