Advanced Composite Technology (ACT)

DuPont's proprietary Advanced Composite Technology (ACT) blends the ideal properties of two different raw materials to create nonwoven fabrics that meet specific needs. More than 20 new patents were developed for this technology. The ACT's initial product is DuPontTM Suprel®, a highly protective and comfortable fabric used for hospital operating gowns and patient drapes. Suprel® is the only medical fabric available that is made of polyester – for strength – and polyethylene – for silk-like softness.
