How does Soy Polymers and industrial applications fit with the Ag Division of DuPont?
Soy Polymers fits with the Ag Division of DuPont very well. Soy Polymers serves industrial applications worldwide. Since the product technology is based on the functional aspects of soy protein polymers, the business unit provides an opportunity to leverage the research in genetic modification of the soybean to potentially change functional polymer characteristics to meet targeted application needs. Many of the functional change opportunities may not be available through chemical and process reaction conditions and will allow Soy Polymers an opportunity for polymer design innovation not presently available.
