DETAILS
Continuing the company’s strategy
to add production facilities close to growing demand,
Celanese Corporation today begins production
in its newest vinyl acetate ethylene (VAE)
production unit.
The unit is located at the Celanese manufacturing facility
on Jurong Island, Singapore, and will support
the growing demand for ecologically friendly materials
in the Southeast Asia region
including Australia, India and New Zealand.
Celanese VAE technology produces clean, ecologically friendly,
water-based emulsions that the building, construction
and paper industries worldwide
use to meet quality, marketing and economic goals.
Manufacturers use VAE to produce
environmentally friendly products including
paints, architectural coatings, carpet backings
and adhesives for woodworking and paper packaging
as well as apparel and textile finishing.
The new unit adds a third facility
to the company’s VAE investment
in Asia and the fourth production unit
within this Singapore plant.
* The first Celanese VAE unit began production
at the company’s Nanjing,
China integrated chemical complex, and
* the second unit started producing VAE emulsions
at the same Singapore complex.
Celanese announced the groundbreaking
of this new Singapore VAE unit in April 2015.
