Product Texts
DuPont™ Sorona® EP thermoplastic polymers contain between 20 and 37% renewably sourced material (by weight) derived from corn. The new material exhibits performance and molding characteristics similar to high-performance PBT (polybutylene terephtalate).

 

In addition to good strength and stiffness, early tests indicate improved surface appearance, lower warpage and good dimensional stability, making it very attractive in a range of uses for automotive parts and components, electrical and electronics as well as industrial and consumer products.

 

DuPont™ Sorona® EP thermoplastic polymers are derived from corn with DuPont Tate & Lyle Susterra™ renewably sourced propanediol as key intermediate. The exact percentage of renewably sourced content for each commercial product is available on the renewable.dupont.com website.

 

Sorona® EP thermoplastic polymer starts with the same basic polymer chemistry as Sorona® polymer used for fibers but through proprietary formulation technology, further enhancements are added to create high-performance resins suitable for engineering plastics applications.
