DuPont Wins Four Edison Awards

Published

on

By

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.”

Kirby McInerney LLP Announces a Proposed Settlement in the DraftKings NFT Settlement

CHICAGO, April 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ —

Have you purchased, sold, or held DraftKings NFTs?

If you purchased, sold, held, or otherwise transacted in DraftKings NFTs at any point from August 11, 2021, through and inclusive of the date of entry of the judgment, you should read this Notice of Class Action Settlement as it may impact your legal rights.

A court authorized this notice. This is not a solicitation.

You must file a Claim Form by July 21, 2025, to receive cash benefits from this Settlement. To file a Claim, please visit the website www.DraftKingsNFTSettlement.com.

A Settlement has been reached with DraftKings Inc. and certain of its officers (“DraftKings”) in Dufoe v. DraftKings, No. 1:23-cv-10524 (D. Mass.), a class action lawsuit (the “Action”) alleging that NFTs purchased, sold, held, or otherwise transacted on the DraftKings Marketplace constitute securities that were not registered in accordance with federal and state law. The Action also alleges that the DraftKings Marketplace is a securities exchange and DraftKings acts as a securities broker when transacting in NFTs, neither of which were registered as required by federal and state law. DraftKings denies all allegations of wrongdoing.

Your options are: (1) stay in the Settlement Class and submit a claim; (2) ask to be excluded from the Settlement Class (opt out); or (3) object to the Settlement.

The Court has appointed Class Counsel to represent you and will decide whether to approve the Settlement at a Final Approval Hearing currently scheduled for July 30, 2025. That date is subject to change without further notice. A current date of the Final Approval Hearing can be found on the Settlement website.

Class Counsel may ask the Court for an award of attorneys’ fees up to one-third of the $10 million Settlement Amount, and costs not to exceed $100,000, as well as a Service Award not to exceed $50,000 for Lead Plaintiff. The Court will determine the amounts to be paid, which will come from the Settlement Amount.

To learn more about your options or to contact Class Counsel, you may visit the Settlement website at www.DraftKingsNFTSettlement.com or call (877) 883-9186. The deadline to file a claim is July 21, 2025, and the deadline to opt out or object is July 9, 2025.

PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT THE COURT OR THE COURT CLERK’S OFFICE REGARDING THIS NOTICE, THIS SETTLEMENT, OR THE CLAIMS PROCESS.
