DuPont's unique breadth of biology, chemistry and materials science has enabled the creation of DuPont™ Cerenol™, a proprietary new family of sustainable polymers that are built on principles of green chemistry. This presentation emphasizes the significant impact of this innovative technology platform on society, environment, and human health, and its broad applicability in industry. Cerenol™ can serve as an alternative to synthetic polyalkylene glycols which rely on high cost crude oil and natural gas feedstocks. Cerenol process uses a renewably sourced and inherently safer raw material, and is less material intensive and more energy efficient. The result is a reduction of green house gas emissions over traditional processes. We have demonstrated and patented the broad applicability of the Cerenol™ polymers in coatings, inks, functional fluids, lubricants, personal care, specialty elastomers, polymer blends, and fibers. This novel technology provides an excellent platform for future renewably sourced products and elastomers and thus contributes to reduce the chemical industry's dependence on petroleum.
