Maximum Performance, Minimum Environmental Footprint

Performance You Can Count On

DuPont's unyielding commitment to high-performance, sustainable alternatives has led to breakthrough innovation in short-chain technologies. The result — the DuPont™ Capstone™ line of products. These short-chain repellents and surfactants provide uncompromising performance and a step-change reduction in impurities below the limit of detection.* DuPont™ Capstone™ products help you meet your environmental and product innovation goals — while continuing to deliver the performance your customers demand.

Innovative Short-Chain Products

DuPont science pioneered today’s short-chain compounds. Our new Capstone™ products offer the same or better performance you have come to expect without a compromise in fluorine efficiency. Capstone™ products allow you to meet the demands of the global marketplace and give you the freedom to innovate.

More Than Great Products

We are a team committed to world-class science and relentless innovation. Our scientists are dedicated to helping you create customized solutions that will enable you to grow your business. As the global manufacturer of Capstone™ products, DuPont is well positioned to supply the products that will keep your production lines running smoothly - wherever you are. Together we can make your next idea a reality.

A Commitment to the Environment

The need for truly sustainable options remains one of the most critical challenges facing the global community. The DuPont goal is to reduce the environmental footprint along the value chains in which we operate. Capstone™ products are based on short-chain molecules that cannot break down to PFOA in the environment. This change, when combined with the technology for LX Platform products, yields fluorotelomer products with negligible PFOA and PFOA precursor content. Our new Capstone™ products are aligned with the direction of the global regulatory agencies, our customers, and the markets they serve. This includes the voluntary U.S. EPA 2010/15 PFOA Stewardship Program.

Claims You Can Trust

Fluorotelomer chemistry is not made with PFOA, nor is PFOA added during the manufacture of DuPont fluorotelomer-based products. DuPont believes that no one can substantiate statements that fluorotelomer products are “PFOA Free” or have “Zero PFOA” even if test results are below the limit of detection. DuPont believes such a claim must be made with scientific accuracy, and analytical methods continue to advance to ever-lower detection limits.

* Below the limit of detection for PFOA based on the published analytical method found in the Journal of Chromatography A (2006) 117-124.
