DuPont Soy Polymers
DuPont Soy Polymers manufacturers, markets and sells soy protein-based polymers in more than 25 countries worldwide.
The company operates from a dedicated US-based manufacturing facility, and from two technology centers globally. DuPont purchased Protein Technologies International in 1997 to support a commitment to research and development of bioengineered agricultural raw materials for industrial applications.
DuPont Soy Polymers provides further breadth and focus on the company's current vision: delivering superior environmentally-friendly specialty polymers and the knowledge to bring value-added solutions to industrial markets.
Sold Under the Pro-Cote Brand, these products impart a combination of functional properties not provided by any other single ingredient presently on the market. The primary markets for DuPont Soy Polymer technology are the coated paper and paperboard industries, with additional applications in adhesive, inks, building products and wood treatments.
DuPont Soy Polymers represents an excellent combination of DuPont science-based innovation with Protein Technologies International's extensive understanding of soy polymer chemistry. The focus on innovation that came from the history of PTI helps fulfill the vision of the division's overall business unit.
DuPont Soy Polymers is the leading researcher, manufacturer and marketer of high-quality soy polymers for industrial applications. Headquartered in St. Louis, Mo., the company has nearly 35 years of soy polymer research and commitment focused on products that positively impact the environment and the applications they serve.
