DuPont 1,3-Propanediol 1,3-Propanediol

DuPont™ Sorbitol-Free Bio-PDO™ 1,3-Propanediol is a renewably sourced, high-purity diol produced via biofermentation using engineered E. coli. It serves as a key monomer for high-performance polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) fibers and offers superior flexibility, resilience, and dyeability versus petro-based alternatives. Widely used in textiles, cosmetics, and green solvents.
