Your customers continue to demand high performance, cost-effective products which meet an acceptable environmental profile. The LX Platform products, based on our existing Zonyl® and Foraperle® chemistries, were developed to meet your demanding performance and value requirements, while removing nearly all trace levels of PFOA and direct precursors to PFOA. The LX Products are among the world’s first commercial fluorotelomer products to meet the EPA’s PFOA and direct precursor reduction criteria (including the reduction of higher homologue acids and direct precusors)—well ahead of the 2010 timeline!

The LX Platform products meet environmental requirements, while continuing to deliver the same high performance you have come to expect. LX Platform products have improved color and quality, and should lead to better finished products for you and your customers. The DuPont LX Platform products deliver performance plus stewardship.

Because the LX Platform products were developed using technology to remove unintended levels of PFOA and direct precursors, they are intended to be drop-in replacements for the existing DuPont products. We bring you LX Platform products so you can spend your time growing your business, and not on costly requalifications required by other chemistries.

The LX Platform products are listed on existing global regulatory clearances, such as United States (TSCA), Europe (EINECS), Canada (DSL) and Japan (ENCS). Partnering with DuPont is the best choice to ensure you are using and providing your customers with products that are backed by extensive safety and environmental testing including: rigorous toxicity testing; end-use consumer article evaluations; and environmental fate and effect analysis.

• DuPont’s new manufacturing process will remove greater than 97% of all trace levels of PFOA, its homologues and direct precursors from the LX Platform Products and the products will continue to maintain superior performance.
• LX Platform Products are expected to be drop-in replacement products that do not require new equipment or investments, causing no disruption or delay for customers.
• LX Platform Products will continue to be listed on existing global regulatory clearances, including the US (TSCA), Europe (EINECS), Canada (DSL) and Japan (ENCS).
