Delrin® Application Sheet
Delrin® Renewable Attributed RAFG511DP for
Food and Potable Water Contact Applications
Delrin® RAFG511DP base polymer is produced from certified sustainable resources which is ideal for food and
potable water contact applications. It contains 100% bio-feedstock from waste and is accredited through the
International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) mass balance certification system. It delivers
outstanding mechanical properties with reduced lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions and lower fossil resource use.
Product overview
Delrin® Renewable Attributed (RA) FG511DP is a nucleated medium viscosity, low
emission acetal homopolymer grade produced from certified sustainable sources that
is food contact compliant according to EU 10/2011 and U.S. FDA standards and is
produced according to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
Delrin® RAFG511DP supports our customers’ sustainability goals with:
• Base polymer produced from 100% certified bio-feedstock from waste (ISCC
mass balance)
• Bio-feedstock from second-generation sources, not in competition with the food
and feed chain
• 100% certified renewable electricity used for production
Delrin® RAFG511DP offers the same
superior performance and quality
our customers expect from Delrin®
FG511DP, with an improved
environmental impact profile*.
It features:
• Lower product cradle-to-gate carbon footprint
• Reduction of non-renewable fossil resource usage

Optimize your resource efficiency
100%
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 effect on
mechanical properties. Using Delrin® helps increase your
internal recycling rate and achieves substantial environmental
and financial savings.

Certified sustainability
Delrin® RAFG511DP 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. Our Delrin® Renewable
Attributed manufacturing site and supply chain are accredited
through the globally recognized International Sustainability and
Carbon Certification (ISCC) system.
Enable sustainable design
Delrin® RAFG511DP delivers superior performance compared to
competitive MMW copolymers as well as competitive HMW
copolymers. With higher tensile properties (+15%) and increased
impact resistance (+10%) achieved on a significantly better flow,
Delrin® RAFG511DP permits the design of parts with thinner walls
while maintaining full functionality.
Designing lighter parts with Delrin® RAFG511DP saves energy,
resources and money.
