DUPONT OPENS FIRST PACKAGING & INDUSTRIAL POLYMERS ETHYLENE COPOLYMER BUSINESS OPERATION IN ASIA PACIFIC
16 March 2005 - DuPont Engineering Polymers

DuPont Packaging and Industrial Polymers opened a new DuPont™ Bynel® and DuPont™ Fusabond® adhesive resins production facility in Shenzhen, China, in mid-March 2005.

It constitutes the business’s first ethylene copolymer operation in Asia Pacific, and is intended to meet burgeoning demands of adhesive resins in China and across the region.

The packaging industry and polymer modification are among the fastest growing sectors in the polymer industry in China. Bynel® and Fusabond® adhesive resins are specialty products applicable to a wide range of packaging and industrial applications, such as building panels, pipe coating, flexible packaging and polymer modification.

Speaking at the official opening of the facility on 11 March 2005, Craig Binetti, vice president and general manager of DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers, said: “As a major player in the packaging and industrial polymers industry, DuPont focuses on meeting the worldwide demand for more productive, high performance polymer materials. Our aim is to offer systems and solutions through DuPont expertise in technology and materials science. We would like to do all this while being closer to key growth markets like Asia Pacific and more specifically in China.”

The new facility is part of the company’s business growth plan and represents the continued commitment of DuPont to the adhesive resins market. It replicates existing facilities in North America with the same process equipment, standard operating procedures, specifications and quality control processes. Although the Bynel® and Fusabond® adhesive resins produced in Shenzhen will mainly supply China and the Asia Pacific market, materials used in their production will be those approved for global use. Such an approach allows DuPont to fully interchange product globally, as well as establishing Shenzhen as a fully ISO 9001 certified site only a few months after completion of the construction.
