- Description: E. I. du Pont de Nemours (DuPont) is focusing on chemicals and profits. The #2 US chemical maker (behind Dow Chemical) has undergone a restructuring that consolidated eight business units into six. These segments produce coatings (automotive finishes and coatings), crop protection chemicals and genetically modified seeds, electronic materials (LCDs, sensors, and fluorochemicals), polymers and resins for packaging and other uses, and safety and security materials and chemicals. The least profitable of DuPont's six segments, textiles and interiors (nylon and polyester fibers, including the Lycra and Stainmaster brands), could be spun off as a separate company.
