After separation, DuPont operates through three consumer-driven segments, namely, Packaging, Infrastructure, and Consumer Care. DuPont is now in a better position to drive revenue growth and innovate products for its customers, leveraging three advantaged building blocks—ethylene, propylene, and silicones—to power one of the deepest chemistry sets in the industry. It operates in the market via four business segments, namely, Electronics & Imaging, Transportation & Industrial, Nutrition & Biosciences, and Safety & Construction. The company manufactures bioadhesives under the nutrition & biosciences segment. This segment manufactures various products, such as alginate, antimicrobials, dairy cultures, emulsifiers, dietary fibers, guar gum, and pectin. The company actively engages in R&D to improve product quality and provide new products to its clients.
