DuPont (DD) Presents High-Performance Solutions at Paris Air Show

DuPont de Nemours, Inc. DD is presenting aerospace solutions at the International Paris Air Show, which is taking place from Jun 19-25 at Le Bourget, located outside Paris. The company will highlight a diverse range of products, such as materials for space exploration and satellite applications.

The innovative team at DuPont's Silicon Valley Innovation Center will unveil a distinctive satellite model. This satellite model shows the breadth of unique solutions made possible by DuPont materials. The company also showcases its DuPont Oasis brand of aircraft wire insulations, which has been demonstrated to be reliable since its launch in the 1990s. The latest DuPont Oasis FCC film is designed to resist more than 1,000 volts, an essential feature as the industry moves toward aircraft electrification and the expansion of advanced air mobility.

DuPont's trusted product portfolio offers a wide range of performance advantages, from commercial aviation to space exploration and satellites. Longer life, lighter weight and higher temperature composites and plastics boost the performance of aircraft engines and nacelles, electric motors, power electronics, battery components and wire & cable. DuPont aerospace solutions are now utilized on a wide range of commercial and military aircraft and are mandated by the majority of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).
