Solutions honored support customer needs in
green hydrogen and semiconductor industries
WILMINGTON, Del., Aug. 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- DuPont (NYSE: DD) has been recognized with two 2024
Sustainability Awards from the Business Intelligence Group
—Sustainability Product of the Year for the first ion
exchange resin supporting the production of green hydrogen from
water and Sustainability Initiative of the Year for a novel
formulation supporting post-etch cleans in semiconductor
production.
"At DuPont, sustainability and innovation are intrinsically
linked—both woven into our commitment to help our customers solve
some of the world's biggest challenges," said Alexa Dembek, Chief Technology &
Sustainability Officer, DuPont. "We are honored to receive two
Sustainability Awards from the Business Intelligence Group for the
impacts we are making in the markets we serve. From developing new
technologies supporting the decarbonization potential of green
hydrogen to refining our products to meet the complex cleaning
needs of the semiconductor manufacturing industry—both exemplify
sustainable innovation at its best."
DuPont was honored by the Business Intelligence Group in two
categories:
- Sustainability Product of the Year: DuPont™
AmberLite™ P2X110 ion exchange resin for the production of green
hydrogen:
In support of more sustainable energy sources,
DuPont's first product dedicated to the production of green
hydrogen, AmberLite™ P2X110 ion exchange resin,
withstands the unique challenges of Proton Exchange Membrane
(PEM) electrolyzer loops during the
production of hydrogen from water. Green hydrogen is produced from
water by renewable energy-powered electrolysis, where water
molecules are electrically split into hydrogen and oxygen
gas—resulting in minimal greenhouse gas emissions.
AmberLite™ P2X110 ion exchange resin is designed for the
unique water chemistry of PEM electrolyzers to help
produce high-purity water while preventing contaminant
build-up.
- Sustainability Initiative of the
Year: DuPont™ non-HDA post-etch
cleans:
DuPont™ post-etch cleans are widely used in
semiconductor fabrication as a cleaning step after etch processes.
To improve the safety and sustainability of products in this
family, a project was undertaken to design a formulation option
without using hydroxylamine (HDA). Our
team leveraged a scientific understanding of the fundamentals
of nanoscale semiconductor cleaning mechanisms to
identify alternative formulations. The new DuPont non-HDA
post-etch cleans show promising performance in use,
effectively removing residues from substrates after a variety of
etch processes in the production of semiconductor
devices.
The Business Intelligence Group's Sustainability Awards program,
now in its ninth year, recognizes companies, projects, people and
products who have made sustainability an integral part of their
business practices.

On May 22, 2024, DuPont announced
a plan to separate the company into three distinct, publicly traded
companies. Under the plan, DuPont would execute the proposed
separations of its Electronics and Water businesses in a tax-free
manner to its shareholders leaving DuPont to continue as a
diversified industrial company following completion of the
separations. DuPont expects to complete the separations
within 18 to 24 months of the announcement date. The separation
transactions will not require a shareholder vote and are subject to
satisfaction of customary conditions, including final approval by
DuPont's Board of Directors, receipt of tax opinion from counsel,
the filing and effectiveness of Form 10 registration statements
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, applicable
regulatory approvals and satisfactory completion of financing.

date they are made. DuPont assumes no obligation to publicly
provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements
whether as a result of new information, future developments or
