DuPont Performance Polymers based on renewably sourced bio feedstock

Renewably sourced materials are ideal substitutes for products that today are based solely on petroleum. Through DuPont innovation, key building blocks for many of the materials we use every day can now be derived from renewable resources — creating a much smaller environmental footprint than their petroleum-based predecessors with no compromise in performance.

DuPont™ Hytrel ® RS Thermoplastic Elastomers

All the performance of traditional Hytrel ® materials, while offering a
more environmentally friendly solution than petroleum based products. HYTREL RS can be processed easily with classical injection molding, blow molding, extrusion or rotomolding equipment and can be used as basis for various hot melts. HYTREL RS can be used in pipes and ducts as well as industrial applications, CVJ-boots, airbag covers and dampening elements. All HYTREL RS products contain a minimum of 25% up to 60% non-food renewable content.
Hytrel® is ideal for parts requiring flex fatigue and high impact capability. It is strongly resistant to tearing, flex-cut growth, creep and abrasion.

DuPont™ Sorona ® EP Thermoplastic polymer

SORONA EP combines good stiffness properties with good surface appearance and scratch resistance, low warpae and good dimensional stability. This makes SORONA EP an attractive product to use in Automobiles components like electrical and electronic systems as well as Industrial- and consumer goods.
Similar application and processing characteristics like high -Performance PBT while reducing
dependence on petroleum and reduced emissions of greenhouse gases
Sorona® Contains 20 up to 37% renewable content depending on the grades



Dupont

NEW – DuPont™ Zytel® RS

The Zytel® RS product family comprises all products based on PA1010 and PA610, including their copolymers and their alloys with other polymers. PA1010 contains 98% of renewably sourced content while PA610 contains 58%. The renewable content comes from sebacic acid which is derived from castor oil. Castor oil is one of the most versatile, non food competing natural products. Applications are Sporting goods like Walking stick grips, closure systems and other applications requiring high toughness and good stiffness properties. Zytel® RS exhibts reduced CO2 emissions and energy consumptions compared with standard Polyamides.
