about us


DuPont Tate & Lyle BioProducts is a joint venture between global sciences company DuPont and global renewable ingredients manufacturer Tate & Lyle.

By bringing together the unrivaled track record of DuPont in polymer manufacturing and the technical excellence of Tate & Lyle in milling and fermentation, scientists and engineers from this joint venture have developed a proprietary process that uses corn sugar instead of petroleum-based feedstocks to produce 1,3-propanediol (Bio-PDO).

Now, the basic materials we use every day can be derived from renewable, farm-grown sources including corn—making the promise of carbon neutrality and independence from petroleum a real possibility.

Our products provide manufacturers of a wide range of industrial and consumer products a bio-based alternative that meets—or exceeds—the performance and functionality of petroleum-based propanediol.

Feel free to take a look at our products and contact us to start a conversation about how we can help you deliver high performance—while lowering the overall environmental footprint of the materials you make.
