Engine Solutions

DuPont materials for aircraft engines perform at high temperatures with low wear for long life and fewer repairs

DuPont™ Kalrez® and DuPont™ Vespel® products empower aerospace designers to push the limits of performance and sustainability. The result? Reduced weight by replacing metal in high temperature and high wear environments as well as improved efficiency. And, through lower friction, better sealing and innovative design.
