DuPont

Foam insulation materials for building envelopes

Overview

DuPont provides high-performance construction materials, notably heavy-duty foam insulation that seals gaps and cracks in wood, metal, masonry, glass, and plastics to create a weathertight seal, reduce energy bills, and improve indoor comfort. The foam is commonly used around window and door frames and can also help block smoke while offering flexibility in application. The company distributes through hardware stores, home-improvement centers, and online retailers, serving professional contractors as well as DIY enthusiasts. It supports customers with safety resources, including MSDS and safety instructions, and offers Smart technology that provides a reusable, mess-free sealing solution for precise, controlled applications. DuPont differentiates itself through a combination of safety education, a reusable sealing option, and a broad distribution network, aiming to enhance building performance and energy efficiency while ensuring safe product use and handling.

Utility files CERCLA cost recovery action based on PFOA/PFOS hazardous substance listings.

Utility files CERCLA cost recovery action based on PFOA/PFOS hazardous substance listings. April 22, 2026 Perspectives On April 3, a North Carolina utility filed a CERCLA section 107 cost recovery action against DuPont and affiliated entities, to recover response costs associated with a Fayetteville chemical plant's alleged contamination of public water system supplies and wastewater treatment plants with PFOA and PFOS. The action is predicated on EPA's listing of PFOA and PFOS as CERCLA hazardous substances in 2024, which was reaffirmed by EPA in September 2025 during litigation challenging those listings. The lawsuit is an example of how plaintiffs in existing state tort law actions seeking damages for PFAS contamination are now using the 2024 CERCLA listings as a means of bypassing traditional tort causation requirements. The plaintiff in this action, Aqua North Carolina Inc., had filed tort claims against the DuPont entities in 2022, only to have a number of its claims dismissed by the federal district court in 2024. That state law action also remains pending. The complaint in the new CERCLA action (Aqua North Carolina Inc. v. Corteva Inc., et al., USDC E.D.N.C. Case No. 5:26-cv-00218) can be found here.

DuPont(TM) Cyrel(R) FAST achieves GreenCircle certification for 20% energy reduction.

DuPont(TM) Cyrel(R) FAST achieves GreenCircle certification for 20% energy reduction. DuPont(TM) Cyrel(R) Flexographic Solutions has confirmed that its Cyrel(R) FAST thermal platemaking workflow has achieved Certified Energy Savings recognition from GreenCircle, further validating the system's measurable environmental benefits and reinforcing the role of DuPont(TM) Cyrel(R) as a leader in high-performance, lower-impact flexographic printing technologies. GreenCircle Certified, the internationally recognised third-party certification entity that independently verifies the validity of sustainability claims, confirmed that the Cyrel(R) FAST workflow delivers verified reductions in energy consumption compared to traditional solvent-based platemaking systems. The certification provides converters and brand owners with credible assurance of the system's ability to lower operational energy use while maintaining high-performance output. "Cyrel(R) FAST has redefined what sustainable responsible platemaking looks like through its completely solvent-free process. Not only does the system simplify operations, but by eliminating the need to handle, distill, and dispose of washout solvents, it also significantly reduces environmental burden while providing a cleaner, safer working environment," said Tucker Norton, Vice President & General Manager of Printing & Films. Energy savings are calculated by comparing the power consumption of a Cyrel(R) FAST Thermal Platemaking workflow, and the power consumption of a Solvent Platemaking Workflow, based on 96-hour testing cycle. According to the analysis, the Cyrel(R) FAST workflow meets all the necessary qualifications to be certified with 20% less energy consumption than traditional solvent-based processes. DuPont's published life cycle assessments show that Cyrel(R) enhanced flexographic printing delivers environmental benefits over gravure, further reducing the carbon footprint of packaging. The same report also includes a comparison between Cyrel(R) FAST and traditional solvent processing. The thermal system simultaneously delivers exceptional efficiency gains, including up to 75% faster platemaking, streamlined workflow steps, and consistent high-quality plate output, all achieved while dramatically reducing the process's environmental footprint. Notably, Cyrel(R) FAST reduces volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions by up to 99.8% compared to conventional solvent workflows and lowers global warming potential by 48%, offering a proven pathway for converters seeking to reduce their Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions. * Share on Facebook * Share on Twitter * Share on Whatsapp * Share on LinkedIn * Send link to friend

DuPont launches AmberChrom XT SL resins to streamline oligonucleotide and peptide purification

DuPont has launched AmberChrom XT20 SL and XT30 SL chromatography resins to streamline purification workflows for oligonucleotide and peptide therapeutics. The slurried resins eliminate the hydration step before column packing, reducing preparation time and equipment requirements. The new products expand DuPont's bioprocessing portfolio as demand grows for oligonucleotide and peptide therapies treating genetic disorders, metabolic conditions and cancers. Column packing typically requires significant capital investment in specialised equipment, making preparation steps a key operational challenge for manufacturers. The XT20 SL offers high resolution for complex separations, whilst XT30 SL enables optimised separations at higher flow rates. Both maintain the purity and yield standards required for clinical and commercial production whilst helping manufacturers improve downstream processing efficiency.
