DuPont Sustainable Solutions (DuPont) today announced SCG Chemicals has selected DuPont to progress its focus on Innovation Management, enabling SCG Chemicals to develop and bring to market high value-added products. The project builds on the long-standing relationship DuPont has had with SCG Chemicals to advance its operational excellence journey.
