From a boiling bath of hot sulfuric acid, a laboratory technician lifts two rods of plastic. One has charred and deteriorated. The other-a rod of DuPont's new Teflon tetrafluoroethylene resin-is not affected at all by the highly corrosive hot acid....
A circular piece of Teflon tetrafluoroethylene resin, a DuPont industrial plastic, placed between tinfoil electrodes, is being measured for its dielectric constant and power factor at 60 to 15,000 cycles. A laboratory technician adjusts the...

This automatic multiform press is used to perform or cold form small parts such as O rings, seals and bearings from Teflon molding powder at the new Polychemicals Sales Service Laboratory. In this operation, O rings are being manufactured for use...
DuPont's operations at Richmond, Virginia involve the manufacture of both film for packaging and textile fibers. The principal film manufacturing facilities are at the right. These units make cellophane, polyethylene and acetate films. The fiber...
An air view of the DuPont Company's plastic plant at Parkersburg, West Virginia. Called the Washington Works, the plant has grown steadily since the start up in 1948. As a result, well over 1,000 new jobs have been created. The plant manufactures...
