DuPont has committed to no longer make, buy or use perfluorooctanoic acid, (PFOA) by 2015, or earlier if possible.
A new DuPont technology includes a processing aid that enables DuPont to make fluoropolymers without the use of PFOA. With this new technology, DuPont has commercialized products for Industrial Fluoropolymers.
The new DuPont technology is more sustainable and includes unique environmental exposure control technologies. DuPont has received appropriate regulatory approvals for this new polymerization technology enabling DuPont and customers to continue to meet exacting end-use requirements.
In North America, 30% of DuPont industrial coatings have already transitioned to the new technology. Customers have been very happy with end-use equivalency and coaters have had zero application issues with this new technology.
This excellent performance and commitment to improved sustainable solutions is driving the majority of the product line to the new technology in April of 2012. DuPont and Intech intend to have the majority of the industrial products supplied with the new technology in April of 2012, with the remaining products completed in June or July of 2012.
Based on internal testing, DuPont expects that the new products can be used as replacements for the historical products with minimal processing adjustments.
As always, thank you for your continued business with DuPont. We are pleased to bring you new offerings that meet the sustainability goals of our industry and stakeholders.
