Delrin® Product Sheet
Delrin® Renewable Attributed RA500CPE
Product overview
Delrin® Renewable Attributed (RA) 500CPE—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
Delrin used in material handling
• Low VOC (below 2 ppm in VDA 275)
Delrin® RA500CPE delivers state-of-the-art low VOC technology and
top-class mechanical properties with reduced lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions and lower fossil resource use.
Properties*
Delrin® RA500CPE offers the same superior performance and quality
as Delrin® 500CPE with an improved environmental impact profile.
(Sustainability assessment conducted using a cradle-to-gate Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA) in accordance with ISO 14040/14044 methodology.)

Delrin® RA500CPE
Delrin® RA500CPE delivers superior performance compared to
competitive medium MW copolymers, as well as competitive
high MW copolymers. With higher tensile properties (+13%) and
increased impact resistance (+40%) achieved on a significantly
better flow, Delrin® RA500CPE enables the design of parts with
thinner walls while maintaining full functionality.

Optimize your resource efficiency
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.

High performance
Delrin® Renewable Attributed RA500CPE outperforms both medium
and high molecular weight (MW) acetal copolymers,
enabling sustainable design.
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.
Certified sustainability
Delrin® RA500CPE base polymer is produced using 100% bio-feedstock 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.
