DuPont de Nemours, Inc., commonly shortened to DuPont, is a company headquartered and organized in Delaware that produces products for the healthcare, water, construction and industrial markets. It was formed in 1802 by French-American chemist and industrialist Éleuthère Irénée du Pont de Nemours. The company operates two divisions: Healthcare & Water Technologies, which produces medical packaging such as Tyvek packaging and Tychem protective suits as well as Amberlite ion exchange resins, Filmtec reverse osmosis and nanofiltration elements and Inge and Itegratec ultrafiltration modules; and Diversified Industrials, which produces products for repair‑and‑remodel construction such as Tyvek house wrap, Styrofoam insulation, Corian, Vespel shapes and parts, Molykote lubricants, Betaforce, and Betaseal. The company played a major role in the development of the U.S. state of Delaware and first arose as a major supplier of gunpowder.
