DuPont Wins Four Edison Awards

Published

on

WILMINGTON, Del., April 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DuPont (NYSE:DD) today announced that four of its innovative material technologies were recognized with the prestigious 2025 Edison Awards™. Selected from hundreds of nominees, DuPont received two Gold awards, a Silver and a Bronze.

“We’re honored that four of our innovative technologies have been recognized for delivering exceptional performance and creating lasting value for our customers,” said Alexa Dembek, DuPont Chief Technology and Sustainability Officer. “This achievement reflects the ingenuity and commitment to innovation of our teams and demonstrates the meaningful impact of our close customer collaboration to bring cutting-edge technologies to market.” 

The four DuPont innovations awarded this year include:

Gold – Kevlar® EXO™ aramid fiber won a Gold in the Critical Safety Material Advancements category. Kevlar® EXO™ aramid fiber is a breakthrough aramid fiber innovation that delivers best-in-class ballistic protection as well as the highest level of flexibility compared to competitive solutions, providing increased comfort and mobility to users. It is also inherently flame-retardant, further setting it apart from non-aramid ballistic solutions. Kevlar® EXO™ is a copolymer which allows for greater control in development of the fiber structure resulting in 30 percent higher strength than standard aramid body armor fibers. As a result, overall ballistic system performance is improved while reducing other layers of the system. With unmatched pliability, Kevlar® EXO™ contours to curves and body lines, providing a more body-inclusive solution while still offering maximum protection. The result is the highest ballistics performance among all aramid fibers without compromising on weight, enabling the lightest weight soft armor solutions available on the market today.

Gold – Tyvek® Trifecta™ A2 breather membrane won a Gold in the High-Performance Engineering Materials category. Tyvek® Trifecta™ A2 breather membrane technology is a unique combination of its innovative lamination process and product design, combining a thin, robust monolithic polymer film with a non-combustible glass fiber substrate. This results in a lighter product while delivering long-lasting performance for increased energy efficiency requirements and ever-tightening fire regulations in the UK and EU. The choice of a monolithic (continuous, without pores) layer enables a more durable, better water-resistant, and more airtight patent-pending solution. These product benefits also save installation time and costs. Tyvek® Trifecta™ has been developed for residential, commercial, and mixed use. The benchmark set by this innovation is expected to drive development across the construction industry, resulting in further safety and energy conservation benefits for society.

Silver – AmberLite™ P2X110 ion exchange resin won a Silver in the Energy Storage and Management category. AmberLite™ P2X110 is designed to enable longevity and efficiency during the production of hydrogen from water. High-purity water is crucial for the efficiency and longevity of the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers that produce hydrogen from water. The AmberLite™ P2X110 ion exchange resin offers durable and reliable water quality that helps remove impurities and prevent contaminant build-up in electrolyzer loops. Designed to endure the thermal and chemical challenges presented in an electrolyzer, the specially tailored formula of AmberLite™ P2X110 ion exchange resins helps provide longer and more robust performance than industry-generic resins.

Bronze – DuPont™ Ikonic™ 9000 semiconductor polishing pad won a Bronze in the Semiconductor Innovations for AI & HPC category. DuPont™ Ikonic™ 9000 semiconductor polishing pads are a new expansion to the Ikonic™ polishing pad family for advanced node semiconductor fabrication, designed to meet polishing needs for advanced chips for use in AI, high-performance computing, and Internet of Things applications. In addition to addressing the increased chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) performance requirements at advanced nodes, pads in the Ikonic™ 9000 series enable significant process improvements for chip fabricators due to longer pad lifespan and groove design for slurry efficiency. Ikonic™ 9000 pads are designed for efficiency and productivity in semiconductor fabrication with a high removal rate, offering higher wafer throughput while optimizing production time and energy consumption. Semiconductor fabs can gain meaningful sustainability benefits through the increased productivity of their CMP processes and equipment.

Established in 1987, The Edison Awards™ recognize excellence in new product and service development, marketing, design, and innovation. Developed and maintained in the legacy of Thomas Edison, The Edison Awards™ “symbolize the persistence and excellence personified by Thomas Edison and his Menlo Park team, while also strengthening the human drive for innovation, creativity, and ingenuity.”

A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

The Sokin logo will feature on the sleeve of the Chelsea shirt for the first time [when the men’s team host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24th October.]

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

About Sokin

Sokin is the financial layer global business runs on. Businesses can transact, convert and hold money in 70+ currencies across 170+ countries. Some businesses use Sokin to manage global finance in-house. Others build it into their products to power financial experiences for their customers.
