DuPont Launches Innovative Renewably Sourced Material for Carpet Cushion
Date:12/3/2008

A key element of Carpenter's EnviroStep™ carpet cushioning technology, DuPont's™ Active Layer RS moisture barrier film is laminated to the top surface of the cushion to prevent spills or liquids from soaking in.

Wilmington, DE (PRWEB) December 3, 2008 -- DuPont today announced it has introduced DuPont™ Active Layer RS renewably sourced moisture barrier films for use in carpet cushioning.

Active Layer RS films contain a minimum of 20 percent renewably sourced content by weight, derived from naturally occurring fatty acids and replaces existing moisture barrier films that are entirely petroleum-based. The product's initial application is in carpet cushioning from Carpenter Company, one of the largest producers of carpet cushioning in the United States.

As a key element of Carpenter's EnviroStep™ carpet cushioning technology, DuPont™ Active Layer RS moisture barrier film is laminated to the top surface of the cushion to prevent spills or liquids from soaking in. This makes it possible to pull spills back to the surface - eliminating damage to the sub-floor, preventing recurring stains and preventing the cushion from harboring permanent odors.

"High performance is critical to the successful adoption of bio-based products," said Keith J. Smith, vice president and general manager - DuPont Engineering Polymers. "DuPont market-driven science is paying off with new offerings s
