TJC L.P. (“TJC”) announced the successful close of the acquisition of Delrin, a highly differentiated, global homopolymer business. Today marks the launch of Delrin as an independent company, building on a 60+ year legacy of partnering with customers to help solve their toughest technical challenges. Under TJC’s ownership, Delrin is well positioned for growth by continuing to innovate in partnership with our customers across mobility, healthcare, material handling, industrial automation, and consumer end markets, and invest in our technology and capabilities.

While I was attending the 10th International VDI Conference on Gears 2023—held in Garching, Munich at the Gear Research Center (FZG) of the Technical University of Munich from September 13th to 15th, 2023—Delrin, a product family of DuPont, introduced a new high molecular weight nucleated resin specially formulated for use in applications requiring high creep resistance and fatigue durability. I had the good fortune to sit down and speak with Guillaume Doy, Global Marketing Leader from Delrin, to hear more about their acetal homopolymer for high-load mechanical applications.
