Dupont De Nemours Inc Stock Price, News & Analysis

DuPont (NYSE: DD) announced that its MOLYKOTE® HP-300 Grease has successfully met ISO 14687:2019 hydrogen purity standards through testing conducted with HyCentA Research GmbH. The grease underwent extensive testing at 700 bar pressure, demonstrating its ability to maintain hydrogen purity without significant contamination.

The achievement is particularly significant as hydrogen for transportation applications can be compromised by impurities as low as 4 parts per billion. MOLYKOTE® HP-300 proved effective for hydrogen-exposed components in seal and threaded connections, featuring resistance against hydrogen and chemicals, excellent low temperature performance (-40°C), and compatibility with most elastomers and plastics.

This development supports safe and reliable hydrogen storage, transportation, and use as a next-generation fuel, while helping advance cleaner energy solutions.
