Company received three Gold, one Silver award
WILMINGTON, Del., April 25,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont (NYSE:DD) is proud to
announce that four of its innovative, breakthrough technologies
were recognized with the prestigious 2022 Edison Award. Selected
from hundreds of nominees, DuPont received three Gold, and one
Silver award in several categories. Named after Thomas Alva Edison, the Edison Awards have
recognized and honored some of the most innovative new products,
services, and business leaders in the world since 1987.
"We're honored that four breakthrough innovations have been
recognized with prestigious Edison awards," said Alexa Dembek, DuPont Chief Technology and
Sustainability Officer. "This acknowledgment, selected by peers in
the business and science community, exemplifies the spirit of
sustainable innovation at DuPont, and reminds us of the impact we
can achieve through customer collaboration to bring cutting-edge
technologies to market."
Gold – FilmTec™ Dry Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO)
membranes won a Gold award in the Eco-Innovation category.
Seawater Reverse Osmosis membranes have traditionally lacked
stability in the dry state and have required both a wet test to
guarantee performance and a chemical storage solution to maintain
it. Our innovation is a dry-stable membrane technology with a lower
environmental footprint from reduced water usage, shipping weight,
and chemical disposal. FilmTec™ delivers high performance over the
operating lifetime and provides high NaCl and boron rejection to
help meet World Health Organization (WHO) and other drinking water
standards.
Gold – BETATECH™ thermal interface
materials won a Gold award in the Thermodynamics
category. BETATECH™ thermal interface material (TIM) is a novel
solution that helps control heat in EV batteries. Efficient thermal
management is key to achieving high performance in EV batteries.
Optimized thermal management is closely tied to achieving extended
range between charges for EVs and can also help improve overall
safety and NVH performance. Already specified by several global
OEMs, BETATECH™ TIM helps maintain optimal battery temperatures
during both charging and operation, extending vehicle range and
enhancing vehicle safety by decreasing the chance of thermal
runaway.
Gold – Delrin® Renewable Attributed acetal
homopolymer won a Gold award in the Polymers and Emulsion
category. Delrin® Renewable Attributed enables
sustainable design, high resource efficiency in converting, and a
lower total carbon footprint. It is the first commercial acetal
homopolymer with a world-class environmental impact profile.
Delrin® Renewable Attributed products demonstrate
up to 75 percent reduction in Global Warming Potential (GWP)
compared to fossil-based Delrin®. The innovative
material comprises three renewable resources: municipal waste
converted to steam as a heating source for the production process;
wind energy for renewable electricity to run the manufacturing
facility; and bio-feedstock from secondary waste converted to
bio-methanol for the Delrin® Renewable Attributed base
polymer.
Silver – The New, Low GWP Froth-Pak™ Spray
Foam won a Silver award in the Building Materials
category. Froth-Pak™ Spray Foam utilizes a blowing
agent package that achieves a reduction in global warming potential
(GWP) of over 99 percent compared to blowing agents used in past
formulations, supporting DuPont's commitment to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions. Froth-Pak™ is the all-in-one
self-contained and easily portable low-pressure spray foam kit
designed for professional contractors. This polyurethane spray foam
contains no ozone-depleting chemicals or HFCs while elevating its
performance attributes. It helps professional contractors quickly
and efficiently fill larger gaps and penetrations in both
commercial and residential applications – sealing out moisture,
dust, allergens, and pests while improving energy efficiency,
building resilience, and comfort for homeowners.
