Where DuPont sits in the stack
DuPont's placements in this catalog cover 3 parts, from layer 1 (compute silicon & packaging) to layer 6 (facility cooling & hvac). None of them currently carries a sourced supply constraint tag. Across these parts it overlaps with other companies most often on the lines below.
What these parts are
- Chip-level thermal: lids, heat spreaders, TIMs — The metal lids, heat spreaders, and thermal interface materials applied directly at the die level to move heat off an accelerator package before it ever reaches a cold plate or heat sink.
- Photoresist — Light-sensitive photoresist chemicals used to pattern each layer of a chip during lithography.
- Water treatment, reuse, consumption — Chemical treatment, filtration, and reuse systems that condition make-up water and manage the water a facility's cooling system consumes or discharges.

- Is DuPont publicly traded?
- Yes — DuPont is listed on US exchanges (NYSE/Nasdaq) under DD. Prices shown on this page are a nightly snapshot, not real-time, and nothing here is investment advice.
- Who else makes water treatment, reuse, consumption for AI data centers?
- Ecolab (Nalco), Kurita, Pentair, Veolia, Watts and Xylem are also placed on Water treatment, reuse, consumption in this catalog.
- How well sourced are these placements?
- Every part→company placement carries a confidence tag. For DuPont the mix is 1 disclosed and 2 inferred. "disclosed" means the company or a filing says so; "reported" comes from trade press or a reference-design list; "inferred" is a lead from the taxonomy with no citation yet.
