Delivering Supply Chain Simplicity, Manufacturability and Total Cost Benefits
An all-Delrin device offers several potential commercial benefits:
- Less material usage and competitive device cost
- Reduced conversion and tooling costs
- Supply chain robustness
- Sourcing savings
- Favorable total costs
With all parts in Delrin, competitive device costs can be realized. In addition, streamlined supply logistics can be utilized, such as through combined deliveries, to increase efficiency and further reduce costs. Material storage and handling can also be simplified, with tooling and processing practices optimized to ensure injection molding machine uptime is maximized for greater productivity output. Thus, contributing to a favorable overall cost position.

Per Device Cost Estimate
*Device costs based on Polymer material + Coiled springs + Molding cost. Recycling costs not included.
Additional cost savings possible by substituting a Delrin spring design for the metal Needle Shield Spring.
Calculated costs associated with manufacture of the Delrin 4D™ device against a selection of other typical device compositions, based on the same components with a combination of material types.
High Productivity Manufacturing
Maximizing productivity in injection molding plays a major role in reducing part costs. In many applications, incorporating a hot runner system can significantly enhance efficiency and throughput.
With the right system design and optimized processing parameters, Delrin® helps manufacturers achieve consistently high‑quality parts while improving overall production output.
