Ticona plans engineering
polymers compounding unit
Ticona, the engineering polymers business of Celanese, to expand its
integrated China complex that will produce advanced engineered compounds
for Asian region.
Ticona, with compounding capacity in North America, Europe and Asia,
will build a 15,000 metric ton engineering polymers compounding unit in
the recently dedicated Celanese complex in Nanjing, China.
Scheduled to be operational in the first quarter of 2009, the state-of-the
art facility will produce compounds for the many advanced engineering
polymers in the Ticona portfolio — Vectra* liquid crystal polymer
(LCP), Hostaform* polyoxymethylene copolymer (POM), Celanex* thermoplastic
polyester (PBT), Riteflex* thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPC-ET),
Vandar* thermoplastic polyester alloys (PBT) and Fortron* polyphenylene
sulphide (PPS).
“Our new compounding unit represents another example of Ticona’s
dedication to provide the same brand experience to our Asian customers
that they already enjoy in the Americas and Europe,” said Ticona
Vice President Roeland Polet. “This means we can provide the same
grades with the same performance characteristics and the same specifications
on a global basis.”
“Our Nanjing compounding unit will support our recently announced
Application Development Center in Shanghai,” said Lindsey Deal,
Director Asia Business Development for Ticona. “This will enable
us to translate applications from other regions of the world, enhancing
our ability to develop and expand regional applications based on advanced
engineering polymers in the Ticona portfolio.”
