Receives honors in the Mechanical/Materials category.

DuPont announces that it has won three 2025 R&D 100 Awards in the Mechanical/Materials category. The R&D 100 Awards are sponsored by R&D World Magazine. The awards recognize the 100 most innovative technologies of the previous year.

“We’re honored that three of our innovative technologies have been recognized for their game-changing impacts and delivering exceptional performance and value for our customers,” says Alexa Dembek, DuPont chief technology and sustainability officer. “I’m so proud of the dedication and commitment our teams display every day to translate cutting-edge thinking into customer-led solutions that help address some of the world’s most pressing challenges.”

The following are DuPont’s 2025 R&D 100 Award-winning products and innovations:

• DuPont Tychem 6000 SFR – These are designed to be worn over primary flame-resistant protective clothing. Tychem 6000 SFR garments help provide industrial workers and hazmat responders with permeation protection against a range of chemicals while providing escape time from flash fires. Tychem 6000 SFR fabric provides at least 30 minutes of protection for more than 250 chemical challenges, including chemical warfare agents, toxic industrial chemicals, and flammable organic solvents.

• FilmTec Fortilife XC160 Membrane – The FilmTec Fortilife XC160 Membrane is a reverse osmosis element designed to concentrate wastewater streams, enabling a more efficient and sustainable approach to water reuse and wastewater treatment. It is ideal for applications requiring sustainable water reuse, including the chemical and petrochemical industries, steel and iron industries, power generation, pulp and paper production, and textiles, as well as lithium-ion battery production.

• UV 26GNF Photoresist – UV 26GNF Photoresist is a breakthrough achievement in advancing sustainability in semiconductor fabrication. This commercial technology delivers precise control in lithographic patterning, a critical process in the production of integrated circuits.
