Responding to environmental, sustainability, business, and market factors, DuPont has commercialized a new polymer platform, Sorona (R), based on 1,3-propanediol. The physical and chemical property advantages over other polymers are described. The diol component of this polymer, 1,3- propanediol, has been demonstrated to be manufacturable via biological (fermentation) process from corn sugar. The economic, environmental, and process/ product quality advantages of bio-PDO over conventional diols are discussed.
