Deerfield Urethane

Deerfield Urethane, Inc. was a leading manufacturer of specialty thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) films, primarily known for its Dureflex brand. The company specialized in high-performance, thin-gauge films used extensively in the medical, industrial, and textile industries. Within the healthcare sector, its materials were critical for producing wound care products, surgical drapes, and various medical-grade inflatables. In 1999, the company was acquired by Bayer Corporation to bolster its specialty films business within the Bayer MaterialScience division. Following the 2015 spin-off of Bayer's materials business, the legacy of Deerfield Urethane now resides within Covestro. The company's manufacturing expertise in South Deerfield, Massachusetts, established it as a key supplier for medical device OEMs.
