Delrin® Product Sheet
Delrin® Renewable Attributed RA100CPE
Product overview
Delrin® Renewable Attributed (RA) 100CPE—a medium viscosity, low
emission acetal homopolymer—supports your sustainability goals with:
• Base polymer produced from 100% certified bio-feedstock from
waste, accredited through the International Sustainability and Carbon
Certification (ISCC) mass balance certification system
• Bio-feedstock from second-generation sources, not in competition
with the food and feed chain
• 100% certified renewable electricity used for production
• Lower product cradle-to-gate carbon footprint
• Reduction of non-renewable fossil resource usage
• Low VOC (below 2 ppm in VDA 275)
Delrin® RA100CPE base polymer delivers state-of-the-art low VOC
technology and top-class mechanical properties with reduced
lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions and lower fossil resource use.

The use of reground Delrin has almost no influence on
mechanical properties and molding performance. Five passes
with 100% reground material are possible without any negative
effects on mechanical properties. Using Delrin helps increase
your internal recycling rate and achieves substantial
environmental and financial savings.

In addition to the ability to make durable parts at possibly higher
production rates, when you work with Delrin you can count on
consistent quality and supply stability. Plus, our design, technical
and processing support helps you produce high-quality parts that
deliver on their promise.
By optimizing part design, Delrin® RA enables environmental and
cost savings compared to medium MW copolymer alternatives.

Delrin® RA100CPE base polymer is produced using 100% biofeedstock from waste, in accordance with mass balance principles.
A mass balance approach and chain of custody utilizes separate
bookkeeping from cradle to gate (feedstock to finished product)
and enables supply chain traceability. The Delrin® Renewable
Attributed manufacturing site and supply chain are accredited
through the globally-recognized International Sustainability and
Carbon Certification (ISCC) certification system.
Enable sustainable design
Delrin® RA100CPE delivers superior performance compared to
competitive high MW copolymers. With higher tensile
properties (+10%) and increased impact resistance (+57%),
Delrin® RA100CPE enables the design of parts with thinner walls
while maintaining full functionality.
Designing lighter parts with Delrin® RA100CPE saves energy,
resources and money.
