1 DuPont Performance Polymers THE INDUSTRY S BROADEST PORTFOLIO OF RENEWABLY SOURCED MATERIALS UNIQUE MATERIAL SOLUTIONS MEET TODAY S SUSTAINABILITY CHALLENGE By tapping innovative technology and strategic partnerships, DuPont has created novel methods of manufacturing high-performance materials from renewable resources. This new generation of materials, derived from biomass instead of petroleum, reduces the environmental footprint without compromising performance. The versatile offering includes several families of PTT polyester, thermoplastic elastomer, and nylon products. DuPont Renewably Sourced Materials *

2 DuPont Sorona EP thermoplastic polymers are PTT polyesters with 20% to 37% renewably sourced materials (by weight) and properties similar to high-performance PBT polyester. Sorona EP thermoplastic polymers Sorona EP thermoplastic polymers are PTT polyesters made with a renewably sourced propanediol (PDO) currently derived from corn sugar. Development work is also focused on utilizing nonfood renewable sources. Sorona EP thermoplastic polymer starts with the basic Sorona polymer (fiber) chemistry and then uses a proprietary formulation technology to create high-performance engineering polymer resins. Performance benefits vs. PBT Stronger and stiffer Better surface appearance Lower shrinkage and warpage Can be molded using conventional injection molding machines Drying requirements like other polyesters Cycle times similar to PBT Electrical/electronics Automotive components Industrial and consumer products Appliance parts Power tool applications Furniture Food contact compliant grades available Sorona EP product line Sorona 3015G NC010 and BK001 15% glass Sorona 3030G NC010 and BK001 30% glass Sorona 3301 NC010 and BK001 unreinforced Sorona MT3401 NC010 medium toughened Sorona FG3015G NC010 food contact compliant, 15% glass Typical Properties of DuPont Sorona EP DuPont Sorona is commercially used for carpet face fiber and fabrics. Today, these applications are saving millions of barrels of oil per year along with a 63% reduction in green house gas emissions as compared to PA6 per LCA ISO standards.

3 DuPont Hytrel RS thermoplastic polyester elastomer contains between 20% and 60% renewably sourced materials with all of the performance characteristics of traditional Hytrel. Hytrel RS renewably sourced thermoplastic polyester elastomer Hytrel RS thermoplastic elastomer bridges the gap between rubber and rigid plastics, and provides all of the performance characteristics of traditional Hytrel, with reduced environmental impact because it is made using renewably sourced polyether glycols made from non-food biomass. Performance benefits Excellent elasticity and low-temperature flexibility Outstanding strong flexural fatigue resistance Good chemical and oil resistance High tear strength and toughness Easily run via conventional thermoplastic methods: Injection molding Blow molding Calendering Rotational molding Extrusion Melt casting Hose and tubing for automotive and industrial Boots for CV joints Air bag doors Energy dampers Air ducts Coil cords Sporting goods Furniture and suspension fabrics Hytrel RS product line Current range includes two 40D hardness grades. Additional grades are under development. Hytrel RS40F3 NC010 high-flow, lowmodulus grade for injection molding Hytrel RS40F5 NC010 low-modulus grade for extrusion and injection molding The collar of the Salomon Ghost freerider alpine ski boot is made of DuPont Hytrel renewablysourced thermoplastic elastomer.
