According to industry estimates, the life sciences consumables segment totals approximately $1 billion globally, including garments, wipes and disinfectants, among others. The estimated demand for disposable and reusable garments alone is $280 million globally.

Other products DuPont offers that help protect critical products and processes as well as enhance worker safety include:
- DuPont Tyvek, Tyvek IsoClean, Suprel LS and ProClean apparel;
- DuPont RelyOn disinfectants to reduce the exposure to, and spread of, viruses, and;
- DuPont Sontara wipes to help reduce contaminants in manufacturing and other areas where they can destroy product efficacy or safety.

Cleanrooms and other controlled environments are used to manufacture products that are highly sensitive to contamination, so they require special controls that minimize the release of particles, microorganisms or chemicals.

Contaminants may come from a variety of sources, including human activities, materials or even from the air flow into the environment.

This transaction will enable DuPont to offer a broad range of cleanroom garments to help minimize human impact, as well as wipes and disinfectants to aid in controlling surface contamination in cleanrooms and controlled environments.

DuPont is committed to protecting people. From first responders to industrial workers, DuPont provides protective apparel solutions to meet safety needs.

The DuPont Safety & Protection segment includes DuPont Advanced Fiber Systems, DuPont Nonwovens, DuPont Building Innovations, DuPont Chemical Solutions Enterprise and DuPont Safety Resources. In 2007, the segment's revenues totaled $5.6 billion.

DuPont is a science-based products and services company. Founded in 1802, DuPont puts science to work by creating sustainable solutions essential to a better, safer, healthier life for people everywhere.

Operating in more than 70 countries, DuPont offers a wide range of innovative products and services for markets including agriculture and food; building and construction; communications; and transportation.
