Manufacturers in every sector are dealing with more complex
components with a greater emphasis on form, function and feel in
everything from consumer electronics to medical devices to
vehicles. To help manufacturers worldwide find the right materials
to meet these challenges, Celanese Corporation (NYSE: CE), a global
technology and specialty materials company, today announces at the
K 2016 plastics trade show in Düsseldorf, Germany, five new polymer
innovations designed to meet the complex design and product
development specifications of global auto, medical, consumer,
electronics and industrial manufacturers worldwide.
“In today’s market, designers and engineers in every industry we
serve face unprecedented challenges, and extraordinary development
opportunities, from changing market expectations,” said Todd
Elliott, vice president of Material Solutions, Celanese. “At
Celanese, we’re tailoring our product portfolio to meet the
ever-changing needs of our customers. Since we work in such a broad
array of specialty industries, we’re able to share and apply
insights between industries to help our customers overcome their
most challenging product development requirements.”
Celanese engineers have gone beyond design and polymer
implementation to change the functional characters of the polymers
in its portfolio. The new materials options announced today give
engineers the freedom to design and manufacture high-performing,
attractive and practical components and products buyers demand.
At K 2016, Celanese will introduce these five new polymer
products, as well as showcase three trends driving polymer
innovation and the advantages that come from choosing an engineered
material from Celanese:
- Celapex™ high flow PEEK – high
flow polymers that address injection molding processing issues
typically associated with PEEK. The Celanese solution enables
molding of thin wall, intricate parts with high precision and tight
tolerance and facilitates ease of processing even at high filler
loading.
- Celstran® high flow LFT –
Celanese offers one of the most advanced lines of long fiber
thermoplastics. New high flow grades help molders and designers to
develop thinner (1.0-1.5mm thick walls), lighter, and more
efficient components and parts.
- Fortron® flexible PPS – a highly
durable, heat resistant polymer is now available with the
flexibility required for clips, fasteners, tubes, and cable ties in
today’s complex automotive and industrial systems.
- Hostaform® M25IE POM – to gain
higher production throughput rates, polymer sheet manufacturers are
increasingly utilizing the calendering process to produce
polyoxymethylene (POM) sheets in a wide range of thicknesses and
sizes that the market demands. Hostaform® M25IE was developed to
meet the exacting performance and processing requirements for POM
sheets while maintaining POM’s strength, durability, moisture and
chemical resistance, and tribological properties.
- MetaLX® appearance nylon – by
applying our experience in metal-effect and mold-in-color polymers
to nylon, Celanese now offers an extensive range of polymer
appearance solutions to meet aesthetic and operational needs.
Industry Trends Driving Polymer Innovation
- Flexibility Where it Matters:
Fortron® flexible high-temperature polymers deliver the performance
characteristics customers need for applications where flexibility
and high heat-resistance are paramount. Smaller engine compartments
and complex industrial machinery have high temperature requirements
for fasteners, clips and tubing, and Celanese’s Fortron® flexible
high-temperature polymers are an ideal solution for these kinds of
applications.
- Thinner Walls, Lighter Parts:
Whether engineering complex geometries in high-heat applications or
light-weighting structural components, manufacturers need solutions
that offer high flowability and dimensional stability. Celanese has
added Celstran® and Celapex™ high flow polymer solutions to its
high-flow polymer portfolio. As a long fiber reinforced
thermoplastic (LFT), Celstran® high flow LFT enables thinner walls
but does not sacrifice part strength or operational performance.
The new Celapex™ high flow PEEK is a high temperature polymer that
enables molding of thin wall intricate parts and long flow length
components while maintaining many of the physical, mechanical,
thermal, and electrical properties of PEEK.
- Beauty by Design through Appearance
Polymers: Celanese has also expanded its appearance polymer
portfolio by bringing aesthetic capabilities to a new nylon product
line. This new portfolio provides metal-effect, mold-in-color, and
a new piano black solution in nylon. Celanese’s MetaLX® appearance
and mold-in-color polymers are helping designers and engineers
apply a wide range of aesthetic solutions to their designs.
