Performance for the patient—Delrin® delivers for medical and healthcare applications.

Formulated with a deep understanding of the technical, processing, and regulatory challenges unique to healthcare environments, Delrin^® can be trusted to help take your medical products from design to market.

A Proven Track Record

Delrin^® is a material of choice for medical applications because of its ability to provide high-performance impact toughness, chemical resistance, low wear and friction, spring recovery, and creep-resistance.

High Performance, Sustainable Medical-Grade Resins:

Minimize the risk of medical device malfunction through superior friction reduction, and mechanical properties that extend the service life
High strength and ease of processing makes thin-wall designs possible, significantly reducing material consumption and increasing productivity
A portfolio of “Special Control” (SC) and “Premium Control” (PC) grades, which are differentiated by a greater degree of testing, manufacturing control, and regulatory support
Renewable Attributed versions are produced from certified sustainable sources that help manufacturers reduce the carbon footprint (GWP) of products and achieve sustainability goals
