Putting Science to Work

DuPont™ Sorona®
DuPont has been defining the fiber industry for more than 50 years with the discovery and commercialization of well-known fibers such as nylon, rayon, and spandex. With the introduction of Sorona®, DuPont has commercialized the most advanced polymer platform in over six decades. Sorona® is made partially with agricultural feedstocks instead of petrochemicals, reducing our dependency on oil. In addition to fibers and fabrics, Sorona® can be used in films, filaments, engineering resins, and other applications.
