Deltech Holdings to Take Over DuPont Divinylbenzene Production

Deltech Holdings LLC, a leading producer of high-performance aromatic monomers, specialized crystal polystyrene, and downstream acrylic resins for the coatings, composites, construction, and other end markets, will be assuming the production of Divinylbenzene (“DVB”) from DuPont.

DuPont plans to discontinue its production of DVB as part of its strategy to focus on downstream applications. As part of the agreement, DuPont will transfer IP and other assets to Deltech, enabling the company to produce a reliable source of Divinylbenzene for DuPont and its customers.

The agreement represents an opportunity for Deltech to leverage its differentiated capabilities and experience in DVB production to serve a greater portfolio of customers working in attractive end markets.

“This agreement represents a major step in the continued expansion of our Monomers segment," said Jesse Zeringue, president and CEO of Deltech. "We look forward to collaborating with DuPont to not only meet their DVB needs, but also to provide a seamless continuity of service for customers.”
