| New Renewable Offering Enters Packaging Market |
|
“Expanding our portfolio of solutions in renewably sourced packaging is a key strategy for DuPont’s Performance Materials segment,” said Diane Gulyas, group vice president, DuPont Performance Materials. “These new offerings demonstrate the power of marrying DuPont’s core competency in materials and polymer science with our leadership in bio-based technologies and renewable feedstocks to deliver offerings that provide comparable or better performance than the petrochemical-based materials they replace. They support our commitment to helping customers improve the sustainability of their value chains.” Biomax® TPS is a renewably sourced thermoplastic starch for packaging applications. The offering consists of sheet stock that contains 85-90 percent renewably sourced content for thermoformed trays and articles and resins for injection-molded parts and containers. Biomax® PTT contains up to 35 percent renewably sourced content for packaging applications. It is especially suitable for use in injection-molded containers, cosmetic packaging and other parts where polyesters are used. The new Biomax® products join other high-performance polymers made with renewable resources including DuPont™ Hytrel® RS thermoplastic elastomers, DuPont™ Sorona® EP thermoplastic resins, DuPont™ Selar® VP breathable films and renewably sourced grades of DuPont™ Zytel® long chain polyamides.
