In 2015, DuPont spun off its performance chemicals division into Chemours. Later that same year, DuPont and Dow Chemical merged and spun off DOW (materials science), Corteva (agriculture) and DuPont (specialty products). Following the separation, DuPont has concentrated its efforts on Electronics & Industrial and Water & Protection sectors, maintaining its status as a leading entity in the chemical industry.
