SAN FRANCISCO -- Grand View Research has announced the addition of "Global Isosorbide Market To 2020" New Market Research Report (http://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/Isosorbide-Industry)

The advent of renewable chemistry, as an enabler for sustainable products has resulted in constant exploration of potential platforms for downstream chemicals. Isosorbide has emerged as such a platform chemical, with potential applications across a host of industries including polymers, resins and additives. Isosorbide is a bio-based chemical made from glucose that is also known as D-Isosorbide or D-sorbitol. It is a renewable platform chemical used for downstream chemical production and can be used in polymers, solvents and surfactants among others. It has the potential of replacing fossil resource based products in applications such as monomers, polymers, solvents, and functional materials.

Derivatives of isosorbide include isosorbide mononitrate and isosorbide dinitrate and find applications in the medical sector. Isosorbide has been produced and consumed in small quantities globally for a long time now; however, recent technological developments in the industry have been promoting its use in a wide range of applications. It finds application in various polymers such as polyethylene, polycarbonate, polyurethane, and plasticizers.The major application of isosorbide is copolymerization with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to enhance the strength of the polymer. Some of the other applications of isosorbide include industrial solvents, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. In medical applications, it is used to cure angina pectoris, hydrocephalus and glaucoma.

Proved potential of isosorbide for its application in various polymers has attracted number of companies and researchers to develop bio-based polymers based on isosorbide. Among different studies going on, Iowa Corn Promotion Board in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Agriculture has been assessing isosorbide potential for polymer application. The study by Iowa has proven addition of bio-based isosorbide in polyethylene terephthlate (PET) enhances the strength and rigidity of the polymer.
